On the subject of people loving Trump, from this WaPo blurb about recent poll numbers, I liked this factoid:

Quote:

That strategy is increasingly starting to come into question. The 71 percent of Republicans who approve of Trump in the IBD poll is actually lower than the lowest that President Barack Obama's approval was ever measured among Democrats in a high-quality poll. Obama fell into the mid-70s in high-quality polls, but never lower, according to RealClearPolitics.

Beyond being less popular than Obama ever was, Trump is also less popular with his own party than Obama ever was!

Obligatory:

I'm sure plenty of Republicans have no problem saying they disapprove of Trump and then going out and automatically voting for him/the GOP against literally any Democrat.

Kind of why I think the approval stuff is complete BS and irrelevant.

Guys, Trump said US intelligence told him that NK can mount nukes on missiles now. Unfortunately they won't say whether it's 17 agencies or just 4, so Trump almost held back the report.

NYT: Trump’s Stalled Trade Agenda Leaves Industries in the Lurch

They were promised "winning" and they're not getting it yet:

Quote:

America’s steelworkers are on edge as they wait for Mr. Trump to fulfill his promise to place tariffs on steel imports. Home builders are desperate for the president to cut a deal with Canada to end a dispute over its softwood lumber exports. And cattle ranchers are longing for a bilateral pact with Japan to ease the flow of beef exports.

Quote:

Mr. Gerard said foreign competitors had been flooding the United States market with steel products in anticipation of the tariffs. Some of this is happening in parts of the country that voted for Mr. Trump.

“This has been a bit of a letdown in the industrial heartland,” said Mr. Gerard, who is based in Pittsburgh. “A lot of our members supported the president because of what he said about steel and manufacturing.”

Quote:

For the beef industry, however, the benefits of that deal pale in comparison with the cost of abandoning the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which had been spearheaded by President Barack Obama. It would have provided access to the enormous Japanese market.

Instead, Japanese tariffs on American frozen beef, which would have declined under Mr. Obama’s deal, are on the rise. Last week, they increased to 50 percent from 38 percent, making America’s meat even more vulnerable to competition from countries such as Australia.

“TPP was fantastic,” said Kent Bacus director of international trade for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. “When you walk away from it without a meaningful alternative, that causes a lot of alarm in the beef industry.”

As an old guy in MGS1, yes. But I mean the young version from the prequel set in the '60s.

so, is trump going with his nuke fetish or just his simple bully blustering with that NK talk?

If you left out location specifics you could post did trump say this or north korea or russia and nobody would f'ing know.
