A simple question: Why would anybody negotiate anything with Trump? He rarely concludes any negotiation. If he does as in the case of USMCA, he dismisses the agreement on no grounds. Serious people avoid seeing Trump because he is reputed to demand bribes.

The whole world knows that the US has lived on the exorbitant privilege of cheap foreign financing. One single idiot did not know that: Trump. Why would anybody deliver $2 trillion a year of financing to the US, while Trump abuses the whole world? Now this financing will run out.

Like all bullies Trump is a weak coward. He picks on little guys (e.g., Denmark, Panama, former aides) but is putty in the hands of Putin, Xi... those who stand up to him (e.g, Harvard, Perkins Coie, tax-exempt charities) can beat him

Another case of "you do realize that's worse, right?" It is flatly illegal for DOD to be doing anything like this on its own rather than merely providing support to a domestic civilian agency like DHS. Their putative defense here is saying the military kidnapped people all on its own.

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

Private equity buyouts are harming our firefighters, hollowing out our hospitals, & making our communities less safe. I’m pushing to stop this legalized looting & hold private equity accountable for anti-competitive practices that force communities to spend more and get less.
