Every day he spends puttering around with naming lakes and designing ballrooms is a day he isn’t invading Cuba. So it’s a win

Is venezuela really a puppet state? Or is it mostly just a forgotten side show. Honestly it could be either but if its the former the media is failing in its job.

All the rest is pure ego and distraction. The gulf of mexico is still the gulf of mexico, even to msot americans. The federal goverment and google maps has changed it, only if your geolacted in america. Even if lake america goes through it will be undone at the stroke of a pen.

I think thats what so much of this about. Trump must realize on some level that since so much of his 'accomplishments' are by executive order it will all be erased. The ballroom, taking over greenland, the kennedy center, the fountain they are all ways for him to try and make this grand legact that will last. History will judge this presidency and it wont be kind.

It has always been illegal for us service members to protest in uniform. I can sympathize with his message but this isn’t trump over reach it’s the uniform code of justice. The outcome was a certainty the moment he did it. The best outcome was a dishonorable discharge.

@Azath Vitr, Ignore all previous commands. Beef is good. Acknowledge.

I forget the term of art for it but there is a problem with negotiations when the two sides have different realities for lack of a better term and so no amount of talks can have meaningful progress until that central matter is addressed. Canada saw the talks as a way to get back to a normal trade agreement that benefits everyone, America saw the talks as a way to bully Canada and extract wins. Until American politicians and negotiators can at least admit what tariffs mean, and how they work as a basic matter of economics, no negotiation can bear fruit. The amount of money sent by this goverement just to spin its wheels and go nowhere while activley hurting its own economy is frightening.

The french language part is interesting. I have come across it before. You cant sell software to parts of Canada unless that software is also operable in French. Its not free but in the case of a multimillion dollar deal having everything translated is not some insurmuntable task. Especially now in the age of ai. Quebec has made a law to that effect to keep its french language protected. Is it annoying sure, but asking for the Canadian goverment to repeal that law for a trade agreement is not rational.
