One thing I've found very interesting is that Trump spends an inordinate amount of time not just bashing people who are doing a bad job in his eye, which is the obvious thing everyone knows about, but he also spends just as much time congratulating people for doing a good job! Of course, the media never reports on that.

Yeah, now that you mention it, that’s about right

In so many of his speeches and meetings where the press is there, he will literally go around the room pointing people out and telling them they're doing a good job, listing them off one after another.

He’s your friendly neighborhood president

I think I already posted this here but it's a very good video where Trump talks, in his own words, about his intentions with the trade war. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACnZZVydef0

He also hilariously shuts down a BS question from a CNN reporter XD

Was it really URGENT?

nah that channel has cringy sensational clickbait titles

but the content is really good nonetheless

I mean, urgent if you need to keep up with the president I guess.

but no, not for your average layperson

nice nice nice that reagan is babbling about allies while **these allies are doing the same thing to America**

Fuck Reagan

~~not just for that obviously~~

Yeah it is interesting... Reagan says a trade war would be a threat to national security... while Trump says that this trade war is for the sake of national security. 🤔

And well... maybe they're both right to a degree.

:e:

Basically, on the one hand if it doesn't work out, yes there could potentially be massive damage to free trade and the American economy, but on the other hand it's hard if not impossible to appreciate what kind of leverage Trump is working with without having the type of team he has.

To help him calculate the risk, I mean.

This is definitely some **πd** chess right here.

@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA] what was the BS question in the vidya?

@17:20

What’s the tl;dw is the video?

Lots of good details regarding Trump's intentions in negotiating trade on the world stage.

Good especially because it's in his own words, unspun by the media.

That's why the Golden State Times channel is great. Their titles can be sensational but other than that it's just the content itself.

I like GST too

My favorite channel is Equals Three

Pompeo RT'd it. That boi dgaf. https://twitter.com/SecOfState70/status/1005876211275399169

Or, I guess it wasn't a retweet but whatev.

That's Pampeo, not Pompeo.

@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA] what’s the tl;dr with the situation between trump and the other leaders?

@Deleted User Trump grumbled about Tariffs. Everyone else was "Bitch you crazy"

Trump took Air Force One to meet KJU and tweeted about how Trudeau is a cuck

lol

@Deleted User RE: the relationship between Trump and other leaders. Go back to the video I posted and listen to his entire answer to the question asked at 17:20. It isn't long and I think that's a pretty good take. Relationships are well, regardless of policy disputes. Trump may be a bit hyperbolic about how good but it's basically correct.

Aite

Ima waitin to see how these negotations go durin the Summit
