lol, when he renegotiates NAFTA so that Mexico gets to make all the corn because Trump loves tacos, I hope their headline is Trump Seen as Huge Fish at the Poker Table.

Sometimes problems get easier in higher dimensions. Trump pumping up racists can be both 8D and way easier than the stuff normal politicians do

So I guess now "Trade and is complicated". All those who facilitated trump's election should be proud they elected a guy who didn't learn until after being elected that stuff was hard.

Whaaa??? This can't be true. Should we add "global extortion" to the list of Trump's criminal charges?

cynical worldview. not saying it's wrong; just pointing it out.

"When it's done at gunpoint" would be a good place to draw the line.

trump only dropped wanting to nuke NAFTA when half his team explained and showed on a map who would get hit hardest, many places are heavy R voters.

so naturally the main stream media just says he was bluffing the whole time because why not defend and normalize him instead of telling people the truth.

Well it didn't take long for Burr (the Republican chair of the Senate Intel Committee) to claim that Mike Flynn is out of their purview, and should be investigated by the Pentagon. Grrr.

No offense but if you're going to poker analogy Trump there's just no way he isn't luckboxing a winning hand.

Isn't the Pentagon more likely to throw the book at him than a Republican lead Senate?

I don't think we want the book thrown at Flynn as much as we want to roll him up into a nice little package for use against Trump.

Trump doesn't understand the first thing about negotiating that much is clear. His perceptions are incredibly simplistic. That he doesn't have the ability to see how certain agreements with other countries might be more valuable than their cash equivelent is just crazy.
