The Pussification of Donald J. Trump

Dutch Uncle

* Tertia Optio * Defend the Constitution
Now the world knows how weak Trump truly has become. Is it his age or has he always been this weak?

He vowed: “My policies will never change.” He insisted: “Sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something.” He boasted: “I know what I’m doing.” And at 9.33am on Wednesday, he entreated: “BE COOL. Everything is going to work out well.”

But less than four hours later, Donald Trump blinked. As the economic and political pressure became unbearable, the US president announced on social media that he would pause for 90 days higher trade tariffs for most countries, excluding China.

It was a dramatic climbdown by a leader who has spent years cultivating the image of a strongman able to project indifference through every storm. White House aides immediately swung into gear, attempting to spin the retreat as the masterstroke of peerless dealmaker and genius chess player.

The damage had been done, however. Damage to America’s standing as an honest broker and dependable ally. Damage to the US dollar and financial system as the world’s anchor of financial stability. And damage to Trump’s reputation on his signature issue, the economy, in the eyes of business leaders, Republicans and voters.

His threats are meaningless
 
Trump isn't going to retreat on tariffs. Wake the F up. Those 70 or so nations he said will get higher tariffs will indeed happen if those
nations don't agree to Trump's amazing Art of the Deal in his negotiations. So Trump gave them 90 days to put up or shut up. That
just shows how much Trump relishes his trade associations with his tariff partners by giving them 90 days to sort it out. These nations
and China will no longer take advantage of having high Tariffs on Americans goods. Not while the great deal maker Trump is in the
high office.
 
For the next 30 years the collapse of the American Empire will be blamed on Trump, even though that was baked in at least back to 2016 as the world watched constant lawless attacks on the people's choice Trump.

"I cant believe we took America lectures seriously for all of those years"

Duh. Because he helped cause it.

Dear Ms. Hater, he already did.
 
I said no such thing.......I currently think that the Swamp has set Trump/MAGA up for a fall, is currently running a color revolution against Trump/MAGA.....and that if it succeeds the American people will be enslaved.
Actually, you did, but I understand why you want to backpedal on the admission.
