Trumps a bit of a clown, he's a bit gauche, he's a bit of a comedy figure, he's not to be taken too seriously. He's just that bullshit joker at a party...
I concur fully.
But are those character traits admirable in the president of the
United States? Seriously? The most powerful man in the world?
Of course not. Which is why the US electorate unceremoniously
dumped him to the tune of eight MILLION votes in favour of Biden.
BTW, you forgot Trump's best performance act... his soft shoe shuffle.

Well yes indeedy..... We all remember how he had the leaders of France the UK and Canada just about wetting themselves laughing at him. Possibly his greatest success in office.
Sure, but that's his cunning plan. Mr Trump's a bit of a clown, he's a bit gauche, he's a bit of a comedy figure, he's not to be taken too seriously. He's just that bullshit joker at a party.
Add a tril to the US debt, undermine NATO, divide the West
and give Xi, Kim Jong Un and Vlad
a hand up, not a hand out.
Genius. We'll win so much we'll grow tired of winning, no?
you have lost the plot my friend.
are you saying that trump was easy on china?
that trump tried to give china a hand up?
bill and obama certainly did.
hollywood loves china
microsoft loves china
zuckerburg talks to them in mandarin
apple builds all their phones there
but you think donald (who is about the only president to take china on ) was giving them a hand up?
send your white flag along with gwegs and mr smiths.
my poor australia post lady will need a bigger van
Good God, are you staying he
wasn't?Praising Xi's covid response, talking down the virus and finally declaring a ban on Chinese flights, but letting in 48 hours of plane-loads after the ban.
Your Dear Leader did everything he could to keep trade going with Chi-na, and saw more jobs outsourced to China than Obama and Bush Jnr. His counter-productive trade wars ended up costing even more American jobs until he was forced to funnell tariffs into agriculture subsidies to keep his base happy, costing consumers billions.
The example of Trump, more than any other leader in modern times, showed the futility of trade wars and how self-sabotaging they really are. In the meantime, Trump himself pulled 24 million out of Chi-na on business deals in his first year as prez, his daughter/senior advisor leaving Chi-na with millions in her own private investments.
Yes, dear, I most certainly
am saying Donald was easy on China, most of all because he ran the US into the ground as prez. Forget his family's personal profit, the only reason Xi was happy to see him go is the global uncertainty the Donald created.
Xi doesn't care so much if you play Chinese-Japanese-Pekanese politics with the domestic audience, he cares when you fu
ck around with global markets. We all should. That little trade war cost us all.
Back when you were a "noble capitalist", you would have agreed. Now?
Anything goes.
