Well put. We are watching a Loser who tweets by night on his own Loser platform and who walks a crooked line, running in Happy Meals and Diet Coke while his illegal wife espouses never knowing the sex trafficker buds of the 90s— can’t make this up, an entirely Nat Lampoonish Administration, first time in our history! All because Americans became lazy and uninformed.
It's not just the felon...there are millions of American voters that continue to support the felon; and don't leave out the people the felon put in charge. Democrat elites deliberately took Bernie Sanders out of the 2015 race because they refused to allow a person who actually cares about the people to be the leader. Democrat elites continue to block progressives and keep telling us we need to elect centrists. Don't know why because they are the ones that lost the elections. smdh And maga GOP and some democrats continue to be in denial about the felon's cognitive functioning. They are ALL responsible, imo.
"Trump knows Xi Jinping is prepared, disciplined, strategic, and operating from a position of long-term leverage. Trump knows he’s outmatched in these settings, so he surrounds himself with CEOs and business leaders because he thinks they can compensate for what he lacks."
A narcissist never thinks there is a person more disciplined and prepared than the narcissist. lol I doubt he knows he is outmatched, but he does like a show - hence the large retinue. I would think most of the CEOs are all going to make great deals with the Chinese government....certainly true of the felon's children. :(
Also, narcissists never commit suicide. They are too special to die.
There's not one China expert joining DonnieFelon. Taiwan will be a bargaining chip, not an ally; same as Ukraine, which has been abandoned by our Felon and even Russia hawks in the Republican Party.
It would seem all of the CEO/oligarchs are smart enough to know what this looks like and are somewhat embarrassed to be with trump on this visit. They can only be doing it for something for themselves. Money.
No doubt Trump thinks being accompanied by some CEOs and oligarchs will impress Xi, but I will bet that everyone,excluding Trump, are already connected by trade interests. All involved, excluding Xi, are all playing trump’s grossly inflated ego.
Thank you Ben and the MTN for the honest reporting everyday.
I have to admit, I had to step back from the news for a bit. I was starting to feel exhausted, hopeless and defeated.
But, after reading Ron’s report yesterday, I did write to Fetterman to rip him for his stupid ass comment on the reflecting pool. What a disgrace of a senator.
And if Americans weren't so short on critical thinking, were more knowledgeable about our democratic republic, the democratic elites didn't play dirty politics, taking Bernie Sanders out of the race; and the democratic party wants only centrists to be elected...working with AIPAC to block progressives. MAGA Americans and their hatred took down the mighty USA.
Europe and the Middle East have learned that American security guarantees under Trump are worthless. Trump has taken Putin's side in Ukraine, a war that threatens the stability and security of every European country. Middle Eastern allies learned the hard way that Trump won't or can't protect them from Iranian attacks. European, Asian and Middle Eastern powers are forming alliances among themselves and cutting the U.S. out of the picture.
One example: If Trump wanted to buy rare earth minerals from somewhere other than China, Canada is sitting right there on our northern border. But after the illegal tariffs and threats to make Canada the 51st state - as well as undermining Canada's sovereignty by scheming with Alberta separatists - Canada is selling its rare earths to Europe instead. IOW, ALL of our current wounds are self-inflicted by the dementing Orange Whinge Baby who only swaggers because he can no longer walk a straight line.
China's sphere of influence around the world has pushed well past the United States thanks to this Administration.
Normally when you visit I highly respected foreign adversary (and I repeat, adversary), the discussion topics include (1) ending conflicts affecting both countries, (2) potential trade commitments (3) assisting each other. No, the true colors have come out. Bring assholes like Elon Musk and Tim Cook amongst others who do NOT give a crap about the American consumer. This mission is simply how to make the top 1% richer. It is disgusting and simply a photo shoot for a senile old moron, sex offender, grifter, etc.
Thank you, Ben. This is a good overview of what is happening in our world. It is horrifying. We need some good news soon. We need to see the world begin to hold trump, his MAGAts, and the Rat-publicans accountable for the chaos they are causing, the lives they have taken, and the complete disregard of the American people.
Thank you Ben for being detailed and clear about appearances and behaviors. Appreciate the honest insight!
Way to fuck up the world, trump. We are now the weakest country in the world because of you, you demented cockroach.

All because - to quote the fella at his pre-inauguration rally on Jan 19 2025 - “Elon is good with computers, the vote counting computers.”

What did we expect? Everything tRUMP touches gets messed up.
ALSO, why are we as a nation looking to other places for rare earth minerals when a source was found recently in Las Vegas?
Thank you Ben 💙💙
Thank you Meidas for HONEST NEWS!

You are too kind!!!!!!

Trump? Isn't that the guy who told me that if my country trades with China, they'd take hockey away and force communism on us?
You'd better tell him to watch out, I bet China would take golf away too if Trump meets with him.

I doubt they feel embarrassed, though they should.

Thank you for continuing the fight!
This chaotic shit-show is truly exhausting! Every morning I look at my computer dreading the "Debacle du Jour".
The effects of this misadministration are devastating- in so many ways! And yet, it all could have been prevented.
Had Americans been more savvy, more educated, less lemming-like - this greed-soaked ignoramus would never have ben elected.
IF Mitch McConnell had voted for impeachment, perhaps this would have had a different scenario.
If the DOJ and Supreme Court were not complicit and did their jobs, justice may have prevailed.
If trmp's mania for surrounding himself with boot-licking sycophants...need I go on ?
This will forever be one of the worst scenarios ever to befall this country....and yes, I DO remember 9/11!
And if Americans weren't so short on critical thinking, were more knowledgeable about our democratic republic, the democratic elites didn't play dirty politics, taking Bernie Sanders out of the race; and the democratic party wants only centrists to be elected...working with AIPAC to block progressives. MAGA Americans and their hatred took down the mighty USA.
The nightmare won't end! We keep waiting for the next shoe to drop - who ever imagined how many frikking shoes the orange menace had to drop!

Thank you Ben, Brett, and Jordy! We all love you
The CEO’s are brought to stand behind him as he once again falls asleep in a meeting. No longer a democracy but a full blown oligarchy.
I hope they stay away from highrise windows, just in case they piss someone off... Oh wait, that's Putin. lol
Thank you Ben for keeping us updated on the truth and what’s happening at all times. You do a fantastic job!
