It seems that the reptiles are very slowly beginning to understand that all might not be entirely well with the Donald …even the most devout Murdochians …
Currently the pond oscillates between thinking that at least the Chinese do better food - never mind the authoritarian state - and so do the Mexicans - never mind the drug wars - though the pond isn't sure that Canada does food at all, so perhaps that's not the best way to judge matters
On a good day the pond hopes Europe might survive the populist authoritarian movements currently erupting like sun spots - the French, the Italians and the Spanish know how to do food, though the less said about the pond's connection to German food the better …

The pond doesn't usually rely on Morning Joe for its information - the pond remembers the days when Joe used to smarm up to the Donald - but this set of charts made for amusing viewing …
Yep, it's a laugh a minute, and it's going to get even funnier if a full-on trade war erupts …then we'll see where idle chatter about hard-nosed foreign-policy realism lands the planet ...

ReplyDeleteWhen will these numbskulls get it through their numb skulls that Donny Trump did not write 'The Art of the Deal'. He didn't even verbally co-write it. Sheesh.
