    1. Hi Roger. As Ali said tRump only gain the right to claim a problem he created he alone solved. He beat his chest about how powerful he was and how feared / respected the US is now. But studies have shown that during Bush Jr term the world had a very low opinion of the US but under Obama the world respect for the US jumped up again with the US being highly well though of. But tRump tanked that. Again the US was the villain that now wouldn’t honor our own agreements and was a bully to our allies. Biden was trying to rebuild it but his never wavering Zionist support for Israel in Gaza was again lowering the way people seen the US.

      Now tRump comes into power and attacks our biggest trading partners because he is the 9 year old bully of the little kids. He was the rejected kid no one liked and so to him forcing people to do what he wants makes him the big man on the playground. It is why he needs constant attention and adoration. I just got an alert on my news feed that tRump has decided that the US should own Gaza, and all the Palestinians have to leave Gaza for countries that don’t want them. The US is stopping any migration of brown people to the US yet demands that other countries to take in 1.2 million people they don’t want. Hugs

      1. My FaceBook reply to a UK friend in response to ‘that fellow’ s latest regarding Gaza….

        How exactly ‘this fellow’ plans to move an entire population elsewhere without attracting every para military group in the region baffles me. You could write a very black satire with Hamas offering package conflict sites for any group willing to pay. Presumably ‘this fellow’ has only read comic books (if at all) about the American experiences in Vietnam, Lebanon Iraq and Afghanistan. Never mind where the population is going to go.
        And there’s the small matter than every Jewish person in the world irrespective of their own beliefs would become a target for every bigot who then simply says ‘they were protesting’.
        And Israel would be a permanent target for anyone (Not that the current Israeli govt would care about that, suits their War mentality, and stifle all internal Jewish opposition as being traitors. Incidentally the IFD is a limited resource.
        And of course USA citizens abroad will also be the target sites too….
        I’ve not run out of ‘And’s…….. only patience and restraint from ending up using Bad Words……

        Addition ‘And other comments that might get me into trouble with Word Press…I might stretch the laws of Libel’

        1. Hi Roger. We know now how they plan to move the Palestinians. Kill them then pick up the dead bodies. Israel has cut off all food, all electricity, all water, all shelter, and is now just bombing the shit out of any groups they can locate. tRump wants poor war torn / drug lord African countries to take the unwanted Palestinians, two of the countries named said they did not even get contacted so had no idea what was going on. Societal norms mean nothing to tRump nor Bibi. tRump’s people don’t care about any non-white people or their feelings. But what makes them think that Palestinians are OK with being removed from their territorial home? No other groups are expected to move with no complaint so more wealthy people can make even more wealth off your lands. Plus if the US wants a country to take in the Palestinians, why not bring them to the US? Oh right, they are brown and mostly Muslim! Can’t have that in the US can they. So they try to force them to go to a poor war torn country that they still won’t be welcome in. They wouldn’t be refuges but prisoners. Hugs

          1. Bitterly ironic that a people who were exiled from their own lands, twice think that they can do the same to others and get away with it.
            The current Israeli government will be the doom of that nation. It will even exceed the war between Russia and Ukraine or Sudan in terms of destruction and suffering.

  1. Nothing; all the “concessions” from Mexico and Canada are items that have been in place since at least 2021. Though 30 more days without paying for Trump’s idiocy about finances is not nothing, of course.

    1. Hi Ali. Yes you are correct. Please read my reply to Roger. But to show how much this was just a case of tRump creating a problem by doing something his cult thinks is bold and tough, then solving that problem he created claiming only he could have done it because he is the biggest, smartest, and strongest man alive. He did get something new from Canada, a fentanyl czar. The position will be created, nominate someone, filled, but with no duties. Just someone that tRump could say is going to solve a problem again that he created. Less than less 50 pounds comes from Canada.

      U.S. customs agents seizing about 19.5 kilograms (43 pounds) of fentanyl at the Canadian border in the last fiscal year, compared to over 21,100 pounds seized at the Mexican border. But tRump needed a win to get roars of applause from his cult followers. Got to go back to helping Ron as best I can. What a shit mess under there. Taking up more floor right now. Hugs
