    Well well well, we finally fell off the cliff, didn’t we?

    Starting a trade war with the entire world, easy to win, right?

    If the entire world reciprocates, which they will, you will literally wish you had just a recession to worry about. I wonder how Trump’s approval ratings will be about a month from now

      Trump doesn’t care about approval ratings. He has a “golden parachute” waiting for him and his buddies in Russia after he destroys America.

        From what I’ve seen so far, his “image”, so to speak, and what people think of him, is of enormous importance to him. He’s your basic narcissist who thinks he does great.

        Same goes for Elmo who singlehandedly destroyed trillions of dollars in value by now and then still says he does great, that people love him and that he doesn’t understand why people would burn Tesla, why would they do this to him, such a great person who does awesome things for humanity?

        I was gonna say until his usefulness ends and he mysteriously falls out of a 4th floor window, but he’s too fat and heavy to fall through one, so maybe just some plutonium in his diet coke

      Jim Jones was able to walk 600 adults to their death (the children, sadly, had no say in the matter). It’s a cult
