Thank God he is an incompetent, lazy, stupid, moron

I mean, imagine if he were really smart. On election night, I was terrified because he started talking about unity and coming together and blah blah blah it only lasted 37 seconds and he was back to his awful polarizing uncouth self.

If he was smart, he could've come in talking unity, praised Democrats, said let's work together, invited them to the White House, listened to them. He could've nominated qualified people to his cabinet, including Democrats, instead of prioritizing loyalty and obedience to Dear Leader above all else. He could've told Elon to get lost after the election as he has double crossed so many people who have given him loyalty all through his life.

He could've dropped his stupid tariffs on Day One and actually focused on lowering prices, even talking about that from Day One. He could've even pushed back the idea of his massive tax cuts, and triangulated like Clinton did to ride the Biden economy and claim credit for it. You can tell that with all policy he is "winging it" and it shows. Herky Jerky, 150% tariffs one day, 90 day pause the next. Tariffs back on, Bond Markets start taking, Tariffs back off.

He might be at 60% approval right now had he done that. But as we all know, he is incapable of being decent, kind, honest, and yes, smart. Thank Goodness. Now when he claims that he wants to be Pres. for Life, he is going to face even stiffer resistance in 2026 and 2027 than he has this year.

Just my two cents.

It seems unlikely that President Donald Trump has read much Lenin, but had he done so he might have stumbled across the following observation: it takes organisers to make a revolution.

Characterised by screeching handbrake turns, made-up policy on the hoof and mixed-messaging on steroids, it’s been another week of chaos in Washington.

If anyone knows what on Earth it is that the US is trying to achieve on trade, and much else besides, then I’d like to hear from them, because having come to the US capital in the hope of garnering some insights, I’m none the wiser.

What’s now increasingly obvious, however, is that Trump is in ragged retreat; he’s compromising all over the shop, such that if the plan was to upend the established global order, one can almost definitely say that, beyond the rhetoric, it is already over.

Rank lack of professionalism and organisation has defined the endeavour all along, and now it’s coming apart at the seams. Sensing an administration on the run, no one is any longer hurrying to do a trade deal with the US. From Britain to Canada and beyond, getting the right deal rather than a quick one has become the new mantra.

Trump has in the meantime made himself – and the US – into an international laughing stock, never mind the damage that policy uncertainty is inflicting on the global economy. You’d be forgiven for thinking that chaos is itself the policy goal.

Repeatedly forced to row back on its demands and aspirations, the White House has been left looking back-footed and ridiculous.

Trump has to show a “win” of some sort, so no doubt something that might pass for one will eventually be plucked from melee, but it will be tokenistic stuff.

There have been two defining retreats in particular: first, the pause in “reciprocal” tariffs in the face of a potentially catastrophic market sell-off, and second, attempts to sack the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, likewise quickly ditched when markets ran for the hills.
