I think T latched on to the word "excursion" because he didn't understand the word "incursion".

We aren't making more because Hegseth is in charge and doesn't know what he's doing.

β€œTrump is Temu Putin” 🀣🀣 The greatest line I’ve heard in a decade! From a fellow Queens person

Thanks Adam & Michael: A great pod cast. Very informative. Yes Trump has strengthened the NATO alliances and brought the rest of the world closer.

I went to Google to verify what I thought I remembered, being 75. Back "in my day" a gallon of gas was about 25 cents, and that's if a gas war wasn't going on. I know that sheer time brings about inflation. BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!

Ukraine has been brilliant and determined in the face of abandonment by USA. Yes...America is and should be a diminished power while Trump is in power.

Very helpful discussion.

Air Force One has land in Beijing. President Trump is no 'Mage' from the West bearing gifts of 'gold, frankincense and myrrh' but BBBs [Boeing, Beef and Beans] and negotiating, albeit in a short window] TTTs [easing a trade war, expanding access to AI, Taiwan and opening wider the window of preferential trade relations]. More, he's brought a slew of tech CEOs to induce China to invest billions in the US. The president came into office planning harsher trade moves on China than on the rest of the world, but had to scale them back, owing to his and Israel's war of choice on Iran. Trump is wishfully hoping that Xi pulls his plum of a war out of the fallen souffle in the Strait of Hormuz, turning the spigot of the flow of oil, gas, urea that affects China among other countries. Wily as he fancies himself, Xi Jing-pin is a finer politician who will clip the wings of Trump's expectations. On the home front, before flying off to China, in a long screed attacking the NYT [New York Times] for its coverage of his alterations to the reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, and insisting that Democratic presidents Obama and Joe Biden had 'botched' renovations that he was now fixing for 'a β€˜tiny’ fraction of the cost!' [$13 million], posting He posted an AI image of Obama, Biden, and former House speaker Nancy Pelosi apparently swimming in a filthy version of the reflecting pool with the caption: 'Dumacrats Love Sewage'. Then he posted an image of himself on the $100 bill. After posting a number of AI images showing the U.S. military destroying the Iranian military, Trump posted: 'When the Fake News says that the Iranian enemy is doing well, Militarily, against us, it’s virtual TREASON in that it is such a false, and even preposterous, statement. They are aiding and abetting the enemy!' Trump had to go back to the early Cold War era to shout 'None Dare Call It Treason' [John Stormer] a careful compilation of facts from hundreds of Congressional investigations of communism on the communist-socialist conspiracy to enslave America, as he tries to erode freedom of speech, of the press and the Constitution. Subjectively, he knows he's inadequate and a failure in what he tries his hand at.

Not deals for America - deals for him, his family and those Oligarchs.

I don't expect much from this visit to China. My main hope, though, is that he does not sell Taiwan down the river.

Oh, and a second hope, after his latest tweeting binge, is that he left the nuclear codes behind, in the hands of someone more stable, like Rubio.

Edit: ooops, I see Rubio is with him. I guess even Vance would be more stable.

Hope Ukraine destroys Putin.

Wouldn’t that be nice?πŸ‘

Trump was not prepared in Iran. We need to give what we promised Ukraine.
