All the people "𝐭𝐨𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞" due to fear of President Trump get zero credit from the third of his progeny. Eric will only be satisfied when they "𝐭𝐨𝐰!"

So after driving the world's largest economy off a cliff, causing precipitous declines in the stock markets for two days, what did Trump choose to do?

He took another long weekend off to cheat at golf, of course. Why should his lifestyle be affected by the chaos and destruction he's unleashing?

Note: when a billionaire [1] says there may be some short-term pain due to his economic policies, he means pain for you. Never him, or his buddies.

And finally, on his way back to D.C., he made a few remarks about the economy and markets, claiming everything was fine. The chilling part is that his words made absolutely clear that he does not understand the difference between a trade deficit and a budget deficit.

I'll repeat that for those in the back: THE MAN IN COMMAND OF THE MACHINERY THAT CONTROLS THE US ECONOMY DOES NOT KNOW THAT A TRADE DEFICIT AND A BUDGET DEFICIT ARE DIFFERENT THINGS.

After understanding that, if you still believe that his actions are going to result in a stronger US economy after some "short term" pain, I have a bridge to sell you.

[1] I don't think Trump was actually a billionaire before the last election. He had lots of claimed-expensive assets, but was leveraged heavily on almost everything. His net worth was probably low hundreds of millions, max. But he's grifted massively since then, and probably is now..

@BlumeEvolution Der #idiot ist da, wo er ist, weil er viele Hinterleute hat. Es wäre ganz "einfach" gewesen: Spätestens nach seinem Aufruf zum Sturm vom Capitol hätten sich die Reps einen anderen Kandidaten suchen können bzw. müssen.
Nein, es ist alles gewollt und hat mit Idiotie nur wenig zu tun.
Und nicht vergessen: in D gibt es immer noch eine Menge Leute, die seinen "Regierungsstil" gut finden.

I am maintaining my title of

...given to me by an old good friend of mine.

I have been messing with my PC USB cables, and managed to connect the Keyboard USB cable, to one of the USB ports on that same keyboard.

For some reason, the keyboard did not work 🤔
