To suspect the "deal" between the US and Russia Greenland for Ukraine?

The way things are shaping up I'm beginning to think the USAs negotiations with Putin were for USA to stand aside and let Putin have part of Ukraine and for Russia to support the US to take Greenland.

Trump is back onto Greenland again and he still things the US is the greatest country - I think he actually believes it!

He clearly hasn’t seen how the markets are responding.

This weekend’s Trump classic !

Reporter: Are you worried about a recession?

Trump: We’re going to take in hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs and we’re going to become so rich, you’re not going to know where to spend the money

He has now acknowledged the possibility of a recession, but says it will be worth it in the long run 😟

Greenland have elections tomorrow - not a single candidate wants to join the US. Latest poll showed over 85% of the population rejecting the idea.

All Biden's fault and some transgender mice

Nothing is ever Trump’s fault!

Guess sending junior over didn't help Trumpski

Canada hits back

Canadian province of Ontario applies 25% electricity surcharge to U.S. in response to Trump's tariff war.

SinnerBoy · 10/03/2025 16:09

Oh dear. Hundreds of billions in tariffs and it's going to make everyone rich. He's truly sub moronic, isn't he?

Parker231 · 10/03/2025 18:06

Wall Street's main indexes falling amid fears a trade war could spark an economic slowdown. How long is it going to take for Trump voters to realise what a huge mistake they have made?

Thing is he will have had tariffs explained. They aren't complex. So this is just lying. Sometimes he's thick, sometimes he's lying. Sometimes both. This is pure lying.

Trump is thick, his advisors are thick and his voters are thick. The Dow Jones has dropped 1,000 points today and financial analysts are talking about a recession

Does anyone wonder if this is all calculated? Create chaos, markets react, share prices fall, he and his wealthy mates swoop and make a killing over time?
Perhaps the only thing bigger than his narcissism is his greed

MrsTerryPratchett · 10/03/2025 21:05

Short selling? Absolutely.

BIossomtoes · 10/03/2025 21:14

Thing is if he crashes the economy he’s gone. Money is God in the US and he’ll be quietly escorted from the White House with the story that his health has failed. I thought we were going to have to grit our teeth for four years. After today I’m slightly more optimistic.

But then you are left with Vance who is even stupider than Trump.

BIossomtoes · 10/03/2025 21:21

You think Vance would survive? Because I don’t.

We’ve lived in hope before that people would finally get rid of this madman and he’s always survived!!

I fear he will manage to con his way out of it again!!!

Does Vance inspire the same cult following? I'm not convinced. A big part of Trumps appeal according to those I know who think he is great, is that he is not a politician, he's just a successful businessman who loves his country (sound familiar). That seems to be the lynchpin around which the circus revolves. I don't think Vance can make that work, and if Trump goes, and the country still goes to shit, I think Vance will lose the support quickly.

I may be wrong though, with no evidence to back my thoughts, just observation and discussion with a member of the faithful.

What can we do but laugh. The other alternative is crying about the destruction he's causing.

I find it amazing how they think that he's a successful businessman. Do they not know the first thing about him? He inherited his wealth. His business acumen is so mediocre that he'd have been better off sticking the money in the bank for the interest. He's no more a businessman than Charles Ponzi was.

Llttledrummergirl · 11/03/2025 07:51

I absolutely agree, bit who needs truth when building a cult?

Childrenofthestones · 11/03/2025 07:59

Highly recommend a listen to Victor Davis Hansen podcast or YT talks for an often spot on prediction of Trumps thinking and tactics.
