In the original Manchurian candidate, careful calculation and grooming went into the preparation of the man who would be a catspaw in the hands of world Communism. In the latest version, it just takes greed, stupidity, a short emotional fuse, and callousness. wesleywark.substack.com/p/when-is-th...

Chris Barks: China left the chat. They simply do not care. They eventually get bored & stop trade all together. No more rare earths, no more iPhones, computers, cars or fighter jets. Then they dump the bonds & then, Trump calls & listens to the village people on hold. He is so dumb, it hurts

These idiots can say whatever nonsense they want. Maybe it plays well with their base. None of it fools world leaders, however. They know he’s an idiot and they will take advantage of him (us).
