Trump: “if you want to do business with the US you will have to pay the tariffs”

The world: “OK.”

Having people kiss his ass and give him free handouts to stay in his good graces is how Trump has been operating his entire life.

Sycophants. That’s all that’s left in his inner circle.

The asshole almost escaped to the UAE too. Good thing they caught him in time.

What worries me is what he will do after he doesn’t win that prize and is no longer incentivised to maintain that extremely superficial pretense of “peace” that he’s already awful at.

They’ve crunched the numbers and know the vast majority of those people will die long before they are entitled to the money. They just won’t pay the rest.

It’s funny how they didn’t have any problem paying the huge expense of bringing them there but suddenly money is scarce when it is time to take care of them or brigning them back.

They should be legally required to pay to fix it. To me this is no different than an oil company having to pay to cleanup whenever they make a spill.

Not necessarily. These animals can be acclimatized and eased into it in stages to give them a fighting chance. Even if the chance of success is slim, I still fully expect the assholes who decided to breed these animals in captivity to be financially liable to cover the cost of that.

Otherwise, whoever owns these animals should be legally bound to financially support them until they die of old age. If someone decides to breed sentient creatures in captivity they should know that they can’t just discard them like an old newspaper if that doesn’t turn out to be a good investment.

The alternative is the equivalent of shooting the toddlers in the back of the head.

Either way is horrible.

They should release them. They might not survive but at least they’ll have a chance.

Same thing as he’s been doing with Russia.

Other world leaders have no respect for Trump. They won’t make peace just because he’s asking for it to get a Nobel prize. They’re only using him to get what they want.

Any market bubble is good when you have access to privileged information to know when to sell in time.

This idiot really thinks that Canada will just roll over and let itself be eaten alive just because he hurt their economy a little. They’ll just bite the bullet, diversify their trade partners and get out of it stronger than they were before.

Fortunately they are currently only equipped with non lethal capabilities. So it’s going to be fun to watch the consequences of someone hacking into them and people to realize how much of a bad idea this was

Just saying, the Canadian’s unwillingess to join the dumpster fire that is the US has only gotten stronger over this year. Also, Canada is a very, very, very big country to occupy even for the US military and it shares a HUGE border with the US. On a side note Ukraine is way smaller and still keeps blowing up Russian military and energy infrastructure deep inside Russia with drones despite having lost so much to Russian bombings…

“Today, at my direction, every member of the joint force, at every rank, is required to take a PT test twice a year, as well as meet height and weight requirements twice a year, every year of service,” he said.

So he’s going to use the BMI to tell whether someone is obese or not. BMI is great for statistics, but terrible for assessing individuals. A lot of military guys do bodybuilding and would be assessed as “obese” by the BMI even though they are fitter than most.

For example: I work out, have no visible fat, can run 10k under 50 minutes and still fall right into the “overweight” category because I lift weights. And I don’t even consider myself particularly big.

What about the fat president?

Those are the guys we keep being told not to call Nazis because it’s “too polarizing”.
