Trump did not cut off Epstein’s friendship because of morals. He cut off Epstein because of business fights.
“Trump: For years I wouldn't talk to Jeffrey Epstein. He did something that was inappropriate. He hired help and I said don't ever do that again. He stole people that worked for me”
What was "inappropriate" was to hire away a 16 year old "masseuse from TrumPEDO. He lost first dibs.
"Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s alleged victims, has said she was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell to become Epstein’s traveling masseuse while she was working at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in 2000. She was 16 at the time."

You superneous snotbag. I never see you asking for Thank Yous from your beloved Russians. We bailed those inept Russia losers out of WWII with $$$$ (hundreds of billions of Greenbacks) and not a goddam word of thanks from those serfs. All we get is nuclear threats and insults and fvcking with our national elections. I don't see you crying about how unthankful your ingrate Russian friends are.

I don’t know. Maybe the starving kids in Gaza have other things on their minds besides figuring out how to call Trump to give him the thanks he needs.

For our more intelligent posters : Reality from Bloomberg economists
"From Japanese auto firms to US tomato growers and Vietnamese sportswear plants, tariffs under Trump’s “America First” doctrine are proving a blunt weapon, with some early winners but even more inadvertent casualties. The hit to the world economy will reach $2 trillion by the end of 2027 relative to its pre-trade war path, Bloomberg Economics projects. Looking further ahead, some of those losses would be recouped as production and supply chains realign.
“It’s becoming clear that President Trump’s tariff negotiations are bad for investment,” perhaps especially so in the US, says Daniel Harenberg, lead economist with Oxford Economics. “In the end, tariffs may not be as high as feared. Still, they are essentially a tax that puts sand in the wheels of supply chains and global trade.”61 -

It is pretty good consistency between "leader" and followers. M*G* is OK with everything else that he's ever said and done, but (maybe) draws the line with interfering with one of their conspiracy theories. And Trump is OK with everything that pedo Epstein did, but (so very much to form) draws the line when Epstein possibly shows some minor "disrespect" to him over something very trivial.
Trump and Trumpers - made for each other.

Just remember, all deals are GREAT deals.
With Trump's deal, it's more like "Trump's deals are the first deals ever made." MAGAs act like he invented the "trade deal." And the national media has fallen in with this. When in the 200+ year history of the hundreds of thousands of US trade deals with hundreds of countries around the world did the national media (or the government) take to spectacularly announcing new ones as if we just accepted surrender documents on the USS Missouri?
Everyone one of these deals are modifications to existing deals (which usually occurs on an annual basis), they contain hundreds of varying provisions, they contain few to none of the terms Trump originally proposes, and no one -- not Trump, not the media, not the State Department, not the Department of Commerce, not US Customs -- has released any analysis of the differences between these new deals and the ones from last year. For all anyone knows we could be agreeing to force majeure on goddam macadamia nuts.
Donald would have been selling M*G* crap on the quarterdeck.

Results from Trump's golf trip in Scotland !
"No wonder the Commander in Cheat always wins the championship trophy at his own golf courses. He cheats at everything because he sucks at everything," another fan added.
"His caddies also tee him up in the rough, toss his ball out of bunkers, and roll back six footers to him. How else is a 79-y-o fat guy supposed to win championships?" another fan added.
"Such a perfect metaphor for our Commander-in-Cheat," one fan added.
"Donald Trump's blatant golf cheating, as captured in the video and chronicled in 'Commander in Cheat,' mirrors his lifelong pattern of deceit, from falsifying scores to undermining democracy, proving he's unfit for any fair game or office," one fan added.The result was a trade deal with Europe and peace in Cambodia / Thailand. As usual, it was a great success for Trump.
It's good that he's "giving back" to SE Asia, since those pesky bone spurs kept him out of the game the first time around. But BOY, did he WANT to be there! He's courageous.

Reminds me of Zelensky in the Oval Office. Even after 10 years, jaw-dropping levels of pettiness and smallness and shallowness.
The guy who was invaded by Russia and goes around the world constantly saying "Please" and "Thank You" to save his country is berated by a President and VP in front of the world for not saying "Thank you" enough.
But wait, we can trump that. Starving Gazans aren't saying "Thank you" enough to Donny for aid that's not even getting to them.
America to the world: We elected THE SMALLEST man we could possibly find. Aren't we great?!

If he "owned" the Europeans, why has the dollar dropped nearly 15% against the Euro since he was sworn in?

Look, he's personally averted six major wars in 6 months. I'm willing to give him some slack on tariffs.

Yep, this^
Meanwhile, all his fanboys gleefully celebrate Americans paying 15% more for goods from Europe, well, actually 30% due to the devaluation of the dollar vs the Euro, while bending over and taking it up the ass.

If Trump avoids major economic problems it will be out of luck, not ability. Moreover, I WANT Trump voters to suffer both because it's what they deserve, and it's probably the ONLY thing that can (reliably, at least) remove the GOP from power. And the fate of our country very possibly depends on that.
Having said that, do a LOT of "experts" - pundits and economists and business leaders - not have at least some egg on their face about the timing of cost impacts of tariffs? What was it, April? Tariffs are going to kick in. Stockpiles are going to go down. Ships aren't sailing across the Pacific. Real pain is coming in a few weeks, or maybe a month or two.
It's nearly August. I have no idea what is coming, or when. But it sure didn't show up as soon as "experts" were predicting back in the spring.
None of this takes away from the fact that Trump (and his supporters and enablers) are dumb and bad. And that there IS real expertise - and lots of it - in this world. But the longer you live, the more you learn that a LOT of "expertise" - that you mostly figure you can roughly trust - ends up being off the mark, and often badly.
