Trump: "A friend of mine who is a businessman. Very very very top guy. Most of you would've heard of him. Highly neurotic. Brilliant businessman. Seriously overweight. And he takes the fat shot drug."

In trumpspeak this means he is taking the fat shot. Its from his weird and wacky presser this morning. He says a lot stupid ****

A couple more gems
Trump: "Basically what we're doing is equalizing. It's a new word that I came up, which I think is probably the best word."
Trump: "We have at least 11 committed, massive car factories that are gonna be built. That are in the process of being built. Some have actually started."

In case you are wondering, Trump did not invent that word and there are not 11 meassive car factories being built.

What the hell is the orange pumpkin blabbering on about some “earth shattering” announcement involving Canada that’s not trade related?

Maybe he just learned that Ovechkin is not from Canada.

Maybe he’s inviting Putin to the G7 summit in June?

Just watched the clip where he says this, and it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Canada at all. Only that he first teased the “earth shattering announcement” during the photo op with Carney when he was blathering on about a number of different things. But I don’t think he was specifically talking about Canada.

Is it me or is his mental health in sharp decline? It's going to be interesting to see what's left of him by the end of his term at the rate he's going.

It doesn't matter. No matter what he does, it will be the right thing for those people.

Promoting the racist talking point of a white genocide and accepting white "refugees" (lol) from South Africa with open arms. Utterly awful and what's more wild is that they aren't hiding it and how many people are more than happy to see it happening.

There will be zero pushback from the media or alleged opposition party. Good times all around

So his big announcement is that he's backed off on Chinese tariffs he started and they backed off on their retaliatory ones, and this is a big win?

And stranger still, they posted this on the White House official social media accounts.

The White House social media manager is absolutely pilled to the gills.

I guess the empty ports and the empty shelves made Trump panic, so he chickened out as usual and pulled back on the tariffs. It’s hilarious that they’re trying to claim this as some kind of win when China didn’t give anything up.

I imagine the renegotiation of USMCA will be something similar, where things will basically just revert back to what they were before the tariffs, and then Trump will claim it as a big win for the U.S. It’ll be “the greatest, bestest trade deal ever!” Until he breaks it again of course.

That’s exactly how Trump operates. Creates major self inflicted problems then backs off and claims he solved something he is totally responsible for in the first place. Then Americans buy it. It never ceases to amaze how dumb things are.

NEC Director Kevin Hassett blames Canada for tensions with Trump: "Canada kept making it worse and worse with their rhetoric."
At least when JT was PM, the new guy though is ok so far.

Our 'rhetoric'? Did he elaborate on that or is it just full on projection?
