The NATO meeting didn’t go the way Trump planned. Mr. Trump wanted to declare his innocence, throw shade at the Democrats in front of cameras from all parts of the world. He also wanted to continue to trash what NATO stands for. But French President Macron got in his face about his NATO Twitter-bashing. Macron also wanted to know why Trump let Erdogan slaughter the Kurds in Syria and act like it was no big deal.
The Bank of Canada thinks the trade battle between China and Trump can upset the global economy after a deal is in the record books. The Canadians think it will be awhile before a deal becomes reality.
China told Trump President Xi won’t sign until he drops the tariffs. When Trump signed the Hong Kong support legislation, Xi had to retaliate. Some reports claim China will also blackball several American companies if Trump tries to get involved in the country’s social structure.
Trump added France, Brazil, and Argentina to his tariff-screwing list. Trump wants to stop Brazil from taking over as China’s number one soybean supplier, so he put tariffs on steel and aluminum from both countries. Mr. Trump wants to tariff French products thanks to Macron’s decision to tax American companies like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft.
Boris Johnson wants people to think he doesn’t kiss the Trumpster’s butt, so he told the press he might tax those companies too if Trump doesn’t follow through on his trade agreement promise.
Kim Jon Un wants Trump to cut the crap and get down to sanction-dropping business. Mr. Kim’s spending a lot of time talking to his deceased dad and grandad on Mount Paektu, and it sounds like those nefarious dictators told Kim he needs to threaten Trump with a North Korean-type Christmas gift.
Trump wants to call Pelosi, Schiff, and Biden to stand when his Senate trial begins. Mr. Trump thinks he can convince Judge John Roberts he didn’t aid-screw Zelensky. He doesn’t have to convince his voter base. They know he bribed Zelensky to bring Biden down, and they love him for it.
November unemployment figures will give the Trumpster bragging rights. Wall Street economists claim Trump will win in 2020 if the economic numbers hold up when all the extra tariff expense hits consumers in 2020.
Mr. Trump can still run if he’s impeached. The Republicans believe impeaching Trump will only increase his popularity. The psychiatrists say that is a side-effect of sucking up too much of Trump’s political snake oil.
