Trump's Second Term

Canada deal with China, very bad.
USA deal with Chint, very good.

Also

Already made the concept of a deal.

Reporter: Is China's going to get their money back from all the money they lent to Venezuela?

Trump: I don't know anything about that. China is welcome to come in and we would make a great deal in oil. India is coming in and they're going to be buying Venezuelan oil as opposed to buying it from Iran. We’ve already made that deal—the concept of a deal.

Biggest arc

Trump: We're considering an arc. It's like Arc de Triomphe in Paris. We're the only major city doesn’t have one.

Reporter: 250 ft?

Trump: I'd like it to be the biggest one of all. We're the biggest, most powerful nation. I'd like it to be the biggest one.

I read elsewhere the design includes spaces for four 100ft statues of (so far unnamed) Presidents. I'm envisaging something like the entrance to The Great Temple at Abu Simbel which also has four colossal statues, all of Ramesses II. Because I can't imagine Trump agreeing to share it.

I think the proposals are for the 4 presidents to be the 45th, 46th,47th and 48th...

It'll be Trump, Trump as Astronaut, Trump as Superhero and Trump as Cowboy, licensed by the taxpayer in perpetuity from his AI NFT images.

Shame Albert Speer is long dead, he would have been perfect for this project.
 
So, Trump is basically like Napoleon III
Driven by the contradictory demands of his situation and being at the same time, like a conjurer, under the necessity of keeping the public gaze fixed on himself, as Napoleon’s substitute, by springing constant surprises, that is to say, under the necessity of executing a coup d’état en miniature every day, Bonaparte throws the entire bourgeois economy into confusion, violates everything that seemed inviolable to the Revolution of 1848, makes some tolerant of revolution, others desirous of revolution, and produces actual anarchy in the name of order, while at the same time stripping its halo from the entire state machine, profanes it and makes it at once loathsome and ridiculous.

That is what Marx wrote about Napoleon III.

It is eerily close to Trump. If you leave out keywords like 'Bonaparte' or '1848', this could easily be the description of today's Commander-in-chief.

🚨 NOW: North Carolina’s Democrat Governor THREW IN THE TOWEL during tonight’s winter storm, ABANDONING residents, and leaving rescues up to private citizens

I pulled out 14 stranded motorists before my Tahoe became disabled, and I never saw a SINGLE first responder.

Shameful, but predictable.

Stop voting Democrat

I'm glad to say that not all once-Cuban exiles share that ethos of swatting the swimmers away from the lifeboat. It's unfortunate so many do.

It's something we see in the UK a lot. Immigrants from X arrive in the country and are appalled that people believe all the terrible stories about how immoral, lazy, dirty, whatever about them.
Later settled immigrants from X are appalled that people are arriving from Y because they hear all these terrible stories about how immoral, lazy, dirty, etc they are.

They don't even have to be from Y; they could be more recent, less prosperous immigrants from X (think: "lace-curtain" vs. "shanty" Irish immigrants.)
