Trump may not be smart but he appears to realize he's been played by Putin... Again... Sad.

This is (again) the result of having no strategy and being so narcissistic that he thinks he is smart enough to wing it. Putin was prepared, Trump was, well, Trump.

"Don't shoot the messenger", from ancient times punishing messengers for delivering bad news

Firing commissioner of the BLS for delivering "bad" news comes from the man who thinks: China pays tariffs, he got gas to $1.99 gallon and can cut drug prices 1,500% www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump’s imaginary numbers, from $1.99 gas to 1,500 percent price cuts
The president likes to cite specific numbers to bolster his claims. They are often wildly improbable — or just impossible.

Is this an SNL skit???

Carney understands his role, is very articulate and professional. Trump on the other hand sees the G7 meeting only as an partisan opportunity to disparage democrats and appears totally disinterested in the critical issues before the G7

Is he clueless, disinterested in bipartisan leadership or both?

this is no surprise, Trump is addicted to opulent and gaudy extreme decor. He could care less that it will cost another $1 billion to retrofit and $25,000 an hour to operate (not his problem).

Do you think there is even a chance that he will NOT get the jet after leaving office (if he ever does)??

So... Russia will stop trying to take over Ukraine because Trump is "unhappy".

OK, this must be the "art of the deal"...
April 24, 2025 at 5:59 PM
So it looks like the "art of the deal" is for a failed real estate salesman to con voters promising them the impossible and then be surprised that their approval level is so low when he does nothing he promised.

There is a cliche for this: "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me"
April 24, 2025 at 5:46 PM
Trump is nothing more than (a failed) real estate salesman who does not understand global economics or supply chains

He thinks he can bully countries like China to concede to wild and naive threats. China is a treat to US but they are also smart and have no need to capitulate to a naive buffoon

It appears that #Hegseth thought the job was a media promotion from being a Fox news weekend host to a position to leverage his television pontification skills

Who is more incompetent: Hegseth, GOP senators confirming him or the man that chose a weekend FOX host to be in charge US defense?

Tim Cook's strategy has always been to speak softly, factually and logically but most importantly to never negotiate in public and never poke the bear.
April 12, 2025 at 6:24 PM
@davidfrum.bsky.social it's not about teaching 21st century republicans (to be correct, MAGA), it's persuading a #narcissist that never admits fault or mistakes to admit fault for the biggest mistake in 100 years

The only way out is to devise a way for Trump to claim victory & rescind #tariffs
April 6, 2025 at 6:40 PM
"we are in a recession" is looking back in history of last 2 quarters of negative economic GDP growth.

It is not rocket science to know that what we are seeing is a recession as it is happening. The scary thing is Trump has no history of admitting ANY mistakes so the odds of capitulating are ZERO

"saves his country" from WHAT?

All he is doing so far is "saving" us from his self proclaimed boogie-mans (think imaginary monsters under the bed).

He is essentially saying that "he who saves his country" from what ever he defines as bad can defy any laws and therefore ignore any court decisions

Retro rationalization? They assume it's IMPOSSIBLE Trump EVER did anything wrong their only explanation: had to be a #conspiracy

twice impeached, multiple fraud jury judgements, stolen top secret docs, J6 attempted coupe, 10,000s pathologic lies, sexual assault ignorant of tariff effect on US trade

Tariffs and deportations will send food prices (imports and US produce) through the roof. Not just a little bit. Now add coffee (Columbia), oil and cars (Canada) the list is growing fast

Does Trump think he can just blame it all on Dems or woke?

Ignoring math and how trade works is ignorant

well said.

I am hoping someone (non tech bros) will help fund a " #TikTok like" app based on AT protocol (as in federated), that has the best of TikTok without (1) China control or (2) #Meta’s long history of anti-competitive and invasive practices of surveillance advertising @mcuban.bsky.social

Note that Zuckerberg "...has a longstanding grudge against Apple after the company implemented anti-tracking features..." costing Meta billions when Apple gave users the choice to NOT give away their contacts

If you reread the DOJ antitrust inditement, parts read as if Meta wrote them. Coincidence?
January 11, 2025 at 1:54 AM
Does Zuckerberg seem bitter that Meta has only copied or acquired apps instead of innovating?

Sour grapes: bad-mouthing, derogation, disappointment, disparagement, ill-will, resentment, saying something is worthless or undesirable because they want it themselves but cannot have it

It is not new, he thought it was a great idea to buy Greenland (not for sale!), sell Puerto Rico (to who?), wants Canada and Mexico to become states of the US (????) and now for some reason wants the Panama canal back?

Thinks he's the king of real estate deals?

Why not solve REAL problems?

Crypto is a high risk scheme, only increases in value if you convince new investors that #crypto is for ever increasing in value (obviously not). Late investors provide the profit for early investors

If it seems too good to be true, well, most likely it is
