    BULL IN A CHINA SHOP

    Our great leader just embarrassed the shit out of all of us.

    This embarrassment is all over the web.

    Trump is really a bull in a china shop.

     

     

    London just experienced hell on wheels with knives.

    The normal response from our government is supposed to be solemn.

    Instead our response as a nation is in tweets of ....what?

    WE HAVE THIS GRAND TWEETER WHEN WE ARE IN NEED OF ORATORS.

    Again, we Americans elected an idiot.

    That is what Democracy might bring from time to time.

     

     

    Here is Winston, a product of America and the UK

     

     

    And now we have a BUFFOON  representing our country.

    Can you imagine?

    FDR did everything he could through oratory and through subterfuge and through any means available in order to fight those goddamn NAZIs and to protect England. At least until December 7, 1941.

    Japan attacked us. AND WE DECLARED WAR!

    Five days later Germany had to declare war against us.

    And we, of course, declared war against Germany.

    England has been our greatest Ally since WWII.

    And since the Marshal Plan, Europe has been our friend.

    France has been our ally forever and a day--American Fries as an exception.

    We protected West Germany and we participated in the union of the East and the West Germans.

    We aided in the new leadership of Germany.

    We had great orators in the olden days.

    Not so olden since we have had our great orator Obama.

     

     

    See my previous blog.

    But now we have a clown running our government.

    And he embarrasses us every goddamn day.

    WHAT IS A MOTHER TO DO?

    Trump's latest tweets make us all seem so uncivil, so unsympathetic, so gross, so inhumane.

    BUT WE ELECTED THIS AWFUL PERSONAGE LAST NOVEMBER..

    And we shall suffer the consequences.

    FOR A LONG, LONG, TIME.

    But this is not the end of anything.

    We shall always be fooled again.

    BECAUSE WE CANNOT HELP OURSELVES!

     

     

     

    Conspiratorial folks see Trump as helping our enemies for funding.

    That is, Trump could not get funding from other European Banks or US Banks or....whatever.

    So he has friends in Russia.

    And, of course as AA points out, infra, he has friends in China.

     

     

    There is more from Cenk and others.

    But I cannot believe that Trump's tilt toward Russia has nothing to do with money.

    Again, Trump is an embarrassment to all of us.

    But, I now believe that....

    TRUMP IS A TRAITOR TO THE USA and to all of us.

    Something is happening here and we don't know what it is?

    I do not need some Mr. Jones.

    Let us see what happens.

    Trump is not a traitor to the rich, he's like money in their pockets:

    U.S. Treasury cash supply tight as rich Americans delay paying taxes

    Wealthy Americans and business owners are putting off paying taxes in the hopes that Republicans will deliver big cuts, leaving the government increasingly short on cash and accelerating its crash into the debt ceiling.

    BTW, what happened to our Trump believing Red Queen troll, haven't seen his delusional paean to the Orange Sociopath recently..?

    Trump has moved beyond "worse than expected"....to "worse than could be imagined."

    Jared too,but even stinkier situation:

    Kushner Companies Seeking to Pay Off Chinese Backers of Jersey City Tower

    The real estate company owned by the family of Jared Kushner, son-in-law and senior adviser to President Trump, is seeking $250 million to pay off its partners and lenders in a Jersey City apartment tower financed by Chinese

    June 05, 2017 - By JESSE DRUCKER and CHARLES V. BAGLI - Business Day - 

    My understanding Is that working with the loans is actually what commercial real estate developers spend most of their time doing. It's not a world like home mortgages, they get loans for their projects that last a very short while and have to be renegotiated over and over and they often just get dumped even if the project is going well, when the banks find some other shiny bauble that looks more interesting, or extorted with a huge rate hike.

    But Trump and Kushner seem to.start out with the fishy way of getting funds, not to mention major conflict of interest once they decide to run for president....
