This is his “The Art of the Deal” where Donald asks for the stars and may not get the moon or even the earth but thinks that he is holding all the cards. It may have worked in his business but “Donald, Your not in Kansas anymore!”

When Donald came into the business, he was more like a nasty version of his son Eric but he liked Don Rickles to a point that what you see now is Donald’s version of a loudmouth comedian whose act is playing well outside of the big cities and in MAGA country.

This is the same Donald that I met years ago when he wanted something that was not part of our contract, he would try to push us around until we went to his father, Fred, who would stop him in his tracks. The problem today is that Congress is no Fred Trump!

Trump is the bogey man on the golf course who is trying to scare America and doing a good job.

The question should be how many who showed up had voted for Trump and seen the light? Until MAGA feels the pain of the Trump and Musk policies and voices their dissatisfaction, nothing will change. If the elections for the House seats in Florida turned Blue tomorrow, that would be a sign.

The MAGA philosophy is taking us back 100 years and when the Republicans fell from the wall unlike Humpty Dumpty, they were able to put themselves together again; this time, it is different and it will leave the party in pieces like it did the Know Nothing Party never to be heard from again.

It took the “Great Depression” for America to move towards the safety nets and it will take another one for us to become like Sweden. The Moderate Republican knew this and worked hard to make capitalism work for all and those billionaires who back Trump do not realize the lessons of history.

What’s the surprise as didn’t our president illegally take classified documents home with him when he lost the election to find dirt on his opponents or maybe to use the information to bargain for his not going to jail or Putin gets our secrets.

Fred Trump told us, his subcontractors, to be patient with Donald when he came in his business as once he learns the ropes, he would be easier to deal with; he also said that Donald was a bully as a child but he sent him to military school and made a man out of him. Fred was so wrong.

The revolution begins when one party moves to away from the center to the the far right and takes power; the counter balance is that the other party moves to the far Left; The masses embrace the Left after the economy, SS and Medicare are harmed by the Right. Capitalism works when the center rules.

When some Democrats joined the GOP to avert a government shut down, it was giving Trump and his party enough rope to hang themself; once SS, Medicare and the economy take the hits, it will look like 1932 where the Democrats took control with large majorities but this time we will look like Sweden.

Donald still thinks he can run the government and cut costs like his business where he screwed his subcontractors out of money. Donald would threaten them that their work is bad, tell them that they don’t have the cards and they will end up with nothing because he will drag them through the courts.

Putin wants Ukraine and Trump wants Greenland. “Birds of a feather flock together.”

Donald was a big Nixon and Kissinger fan when I knew him; he may have liked their wanting to follow Count Metternich’s “Balance of Power” where today the stronger countries, Russia, China and the USA, will tell the rest of the world where to get off and it fits into Donald’s “Art of the Deal.”

The Donald that I had to deal with was his way or the highway but when I complained to his father and was told to back off, he listened. When will that time come and it will come as The Donald can’t stand losing as a rich man’s son who fails with all that money in Donald’s own words is a “schmuck.”

What you saw is with Zelensky is how Donald treated his subcontractors who he held back money from; he would demean them, then say they don’t have the cards to play with and if they don’t settle, he would drag them through court where it would cost them more than taking his deal.

Khrushchev said that he doesn’t have to invade America as it will fall from within. He was talking about communism winning over capitalism not that he would someday have Russia’s “Manchurian candidate” as president of the United States.

On the TV program, “Laugh In,” another Johnson named Artie was dressed up in a German soldier’s uniform and he said, “Very interesting but stupid.” That’s how I picture Mike Johnson when he tries to defend Donald and Elon.

When I worked for Fred Trump, Donald was a big Nixon supporter and he may have liked Kissinger’s wanting to follow Count Metternich’s “Balance of Power” where the stronger countries today, like Russia, China and the USA, tell the world where to get off and it fits in to his acting like a mob boss.

Narcissists are never wrong and they never apologize. I have experience with him when his father reprimanded him for trying to get his subcontractors to do something not in the contract, and Donald just continued on his merry old way of continuing to try to get us not to be paid for extra work.
comment in response to
post
This is the Donald that I knew when I worked for his father, Fred, but the difference is that I could go to Fred who would reprimand his son for his behavior and trying to intimate me to do extra work and not get paid for it. If only Congress was like Fred.

The first entertainer to become president, Reagan, said that smaller government is better government, the 2nd entertainer president, is minimizing the federal government trying to get America to what it was 100 year’s ago; we all know what happened so be prepared for another Great Depression.
comment in response to
post
If the GOP want to make America great again by going back to 100 years ago, then the tragedy has to play itself out; the Great Depression left the GOP with 100 members in Congress and a Democratic president who made sweeping changes. This time we will look more like Sweden as greed is not good.

When Donald came into his his father’s business and represented him on the job and I was a subcontractor, that was the last job that I did for his father even though I was treated fairly and always was paid on time by his father; for Donald, it was his way or the highway so I took the highway.

The only problem for the modern day Adam and Eve is that they may have been cast into the garden of evil where the majority of the inhabitants have chosen to dwell knowing that their leader promised them survival from the minority and have no idea that their payment is enslavement to the oligarchs.

Most of the Trump supporters do not care or understand about living in an oligarchy until it takes money away from them and by that time it may be too late. Jan 6th failed when a president refused to give up his power but it may never come to that once there are no real elections.

This goes deeper than brokering a deal, it all about pulling out of NATO and making big cuts in defense so his rich friends can get big tax cuts. The MAGA crowd is happy that he is cutting spending and they don’t care about the Ukraine or Putin but things may change if he goes after SS and Medicare
comment in response to
post
Government is not a business that works on the concept that “greed is good” but that is Donald’s way; the profit motive is the cutting taxes on the rich and cutting defense is letting Putin get his way followed by slashing SS and Medicare so not to go deeper in debt.

MAGA thinks that if Donald is king, he will be Machiavelli’s “Benevolent Dictator,” and right now, they will follow him no matter what he does; if it doesn’t work out for them, it will be too late to turn back

I don’t think that most of Trump supporters are reading or on X, and the reason Trump won the Purple states is the money that the GOP, especially Musk, put into those states in advertising false statements or Goebbels Big Lie over and over again until the listeners believed that it was the truth.

Donald knows what he is willing to settle for but always asked for much more as that’s business; there is no problem in foreign affairs as Europe will push back and come to an agreement but in domestic negotiations, he has the Congress and the SC so he may raise the stakes and not seek the middle.
comment in response to
post
One of the biggest slices of the spending pie is defense so forcing Europe to not depend on us and withdrawing our support of NATO saves big bucks and that goes to cutting taxes and the next stop is SS and Medicare.

Since Jo-Jo looks like she is related to Goldie Hawn, here is one of Goldie’s famous quotes which is vey pertinent today,
“I don't see why there should be any question about capital punishment. I think everyone in the capital should be punished.”

In may be too late as George Orwell’s “1984, started to become a reality 40 years later as the majority voted to allow Big Brother to come back.

“Judgement at Nuremberg” is a movie about men playing on the hate of their audience who resent living in a country with those who are different than they are; they gain political power with their interpretation of what should be the laws of the land not what is freedom for all.

Donald doesn’t care if Musk is referred to as his boss because his businesses will get the money they need in their real estate empire, and if the country falls into chaos, Donald can blame Musk as he is “The Teflon Don” to MAGA.

We can do a remake of the movie, “Lost Weekend” where the actor, Ray Milland, played a drunk.
comment in response to
post
Elia Kazan’s “A Face in the Crowd,” Robert Altman’s “Nashville” are two movies about con men who are entertainers playing on the hate of their audience who resent living in the melting pot of America and gaining political power; there is a thin line between fantasy and reality.

When Donald came into his fathers business, he wanted us to listen to him and not go back to his father for instructions; we did and he continued to make it difficult for us so we decided not to work for his father because of him. It’s his way or the highway for both his cabinet and the GOP Congress

The Donald may have been influenced by those that view Count Metternich’s “Balance of Power” where the most powerful nations rule and the rest of world gives in; in today’s world, it would be USA, Russia and China. The Donald is forgetting NATO but since they are not a country, they don’t count.

Follow Musk’s private investments and see if he is putting up the dough for some of the Trump Organization real estate projects. Donald doesn’t let someone take over a press conference and do what ever he wants going after government agencies unless that person is filling his pockets.

I stopped working for Fred Trump who was a pleasure to work for when Donald came in the business, and what he is doing here is the “Art of the Deal” which is to go all out with his agenda and see what he can get away with and then back off from there. Hasn’t changed in 57 years!

Andrew Jackson couldn’t get Texas into the Union because Congress wouldn’t let him at that time because of the slavery issue. The Constitution rules for Old Hickory and all the presidents but not to The Donald.

Donald made it hard for his father’s contractors to keep up with his demands that were not part of our contract. We complained to his father who reprimanded him for his behavior. Donald continued to harass us with it’s his way or the highway so we took the highway. He never stops till you give up!
comment in response to

Even though Fred Trump reprimanded Donald for the way he treated his subcontractors, Donald found ways to continue to push his agenda. Fred never punished Donald by removing him from the job and most of us decided to leave on our own. Donald never backs down and unlike Fred, Congress must remove him

Maybe Musk wants so much power that in his oligarchy, someone, like him, not born in the USA can become its dictator. Hitler was born in Austria and not in Germany but was appointed to chancellor by German President Von Hindenburg and Trump could be doing the same by laying the groundwork for Musk.

When I met Donald, he was obsessed with expediency to get the tenants in so the rent is paid earlier. Even if the tenant couldn’t get in, Donald still wanted the building finished way ahead of schedule; it made no sense then just as it does today with his cuts in spending even if it aids our enemies

Back to the future to a monarchy under King Donald the First where the oligarchs become the dukes. Monarchies have existed for centuries and democracies are relatively new and could not survive the words of Gordon Gekko, “Greed is good!”

Donald throws conspiracies and lies up against the wall just as he did in business, Trump Steaks, and goes with what sticks. Many of his business’s didn’t stick long but that’s the way he operates and that’s what happens when you suffer from ADHD as impatience makes you do crazy things.
