    I watched the 'talk' that Trump had with the president of Ukraine, Zelenskyy and, if it had been me, I'd have called Trump an asshole

    Another a-hole is the one who asked Z "why don't you wear a
    >suit.. as a sign of respect.. etc".

    I think the whole process was just to use any excuse to make Z look
    bad or unprofessional since they were basically trying to rip him
    off blind in any agreements they made.

    I see the promised Tariffs on Canada are starting tomorrow. Seems
    Trump has moved on from 'making the borders more secure' as the
    reason for them to now trying to force all the auto makers in Canada
    to move to the USA.

    We are coming back at him with 25% tariffs on $155 Billion dollars
    worth of American goods that come into Canada. Unless those goods
    stop flowing that is nearly $40 Billion in tariffs our gov't will
    collect, closing in on $1000 for every man, woman and child in the
    country. Begs the question, where will all that money go? Although
    they are saying they will use it here to shore up our economy until
    we can adapt the the new situation.. or wait out Trumps term if they
    don't toss him out of office before that.

    According to a news conference today with the Governor of New York,
    she'd much rather see Trump gone than this happening. She is well
    aware of how much this thing will cost the people in her state..

    And, the Down Jones average is down almost 1000 points in the last few
    days leading up to the tariffs. Interesting, planning your stock-killing
    political move on the day of your State of the Union address.

    It would be funny if our country wasn't in the balance.

    Secondly, when Trump described Zelenskyy's strategy as
    "not good business", it rang hollow. Governing a people is
    *not* a business.

    Yeah.. T is primarily in business mode, so not surprised he
    >uses business jargon. The "cards in your hands" one is a bit
    >ridiculous, and Z picked up on that when he said "I'm not
    >playing cards!"

    Yes, I caught that too although it was said quietly. Although I
    think the worst of it was Trump accusing Z of it being his own
    fault.. Right.. If he'd just surrendered when the Russians first
    crossed the border it would have saved a lot of countries a lot of
    money, but he would have kept going and eventually Europe would run
    out of countries for him to take over and he'd have moved on to
    probably Canada next to give him a good base to attack the USA from.

    And World War 3 is the lesser problem. If we gang up on Putin and
    he is losing badly, I doubt he would hesitate to use Nukes..
