Apparently "The Art of the Deal" has a chapter on pleading.

Dagelijks scholen en ziekenhuizen bombarderen, mensen in concentratiekampen duwen en dan omwille van ‘Pasen’ een weekend lang niet schieten. Zo gebruiken dictators religie.

How can @marcorubio.bsky.social say the US will stop pursuing something they were never doing in the first place (promote the chances of a credible peace)

The USA is running out of patience with Ukraine for being bombed by Russia.

Make that UBER slow learners. Off course Trump has no plan. Just like there was no Ukraine plan, no Gaza plan things he would change within a single stroke with his magic wand.

Just left X. Maybe start anew someday. Reason: I used to have thousands reads. Now it's just 10 or 20. I assume algorithms suppressing the visibility because I think Elon is an idiot (who doesn't?) and Trump a crime family grandpa. JD Vance talking about 'freedom of speech' in Europe is laughable.

Retirement Cosplay: The tariff war edition @vonderleyen refers to offers predating Trump @cnn.com spins it as EU giving in to bullying, handing him optical win. We’re in a presidential LARP: pretending an 80-yo with 2-min attention span is a dealmaker, actively participating in a post-truth society

Trump “ready to talk” @cnn.com reporter does not mention how to deal with an 80-yo economic illiterate with a 3 minute attention span. Trump also thinks ownership lies with people who need to come to him to kiss the ring and beg for favours. We’re not in the MAGA-cult. www.cnn.com/2025/04/07/p...

Could this be the right way to respond to Trump’s tariffs? Instead of going all-in, Europe could use a smart escalation ladder: targeted, transparent, and designed to apply maximum pressure with minimum fallout. A public escalation ladder preserves leverage. Every step warns what could be next.

Eventually Europe will discover the mega-continent on its doorstep called Africa. It has a rapidly growing middle class, with an insatiable demand for all kinds of goods and services. Eventually. But probably not yet.

You can’t make this stuff up. The illiterates the Trump government calls a trade surplus “the sum of all cheating”. These ppl are the sum of all cheetos.
