    This is what happens when you appoint all positions of power to unqualified people. Chaos, inefficiency and dysfuntion. Waste of tax payers money. Also no plan from the top.

    You know that South Park episode where Japan is trying to use Pokemon to conquer the US and every time someone from the US goes to ask them about it they distract them by saying how huge their penis is? I can pretty much guarantee that tactic would work against Trump. Just tell him that he’s winning and how amazing he is and how much you’re being screwed over by him and he’ll be happy.

    It’s pointless to negotiate, just wait for him to get impeached or die.

      He has no mind. He has no scruples. He has no honour or integrity. He is bound by no checks and balances, no competent court or rule of law.

      There are no negotiations to be had. No deal will be honored. No system to appeal to. You could not be more correct. Don’t bother answering the phone. Don’t bother signing anything. Don’t bother leadership meetings. Send the b team on a salvage operation but conceed nothing.

      Find better trade partners.

      Unfortunately, they’re one of our major trading partners, so their leaders don’t want to just throw their hands up if they can help it since they owe it to their own citizens to try to make their economic lives less shitty. Just sucks that the US is being led by an insane, incompetent fascist cult.

        If your adversary says you better not do something, you should probably heavily consider doing it.

    Trying to have a conversation with the Trump administration is like trying to talk about politics, economics, the weather or whatnot with a conservative at the dinner table right now. It’s just not worth the effort because they do not listen. Ever.
