TACO's double humiliation as Xi embraces Modi and Putin

If TACO hoped to bring India to heel, things are not going to plan.

Narendra Modi has not only proved unyielding. He is also giving the US president the silent treatment.

Since TACOsingled out India with an unexpectedly draconian double dose of tariffs earlier this month, he has reportedly phoned the Indian prime minister on four occasions to seek a compromise. Each time, the Indian leader refused to pick up.

In the same period, Mr Modi has twice spoken to his “friend” Vladimir Putin and dispatched his foreign minister to Moscow. This weekend, he travels to China for the first time in seven years to attend a security summit hosted by Xi Jinping, the Chinese president, in the north-eastern city of Tianjin. The two men, long estranged but now bound by circumstance, will hold talks on Sunday.

The irony is MAGA believes TACO is making America respected when the reality is the world is laughing at us.

Russia, tariffs against Chinese goods by the arm full. Maybe Korea and/or Japan are still friendly to him? Europe avoids him like the plague (especially w/ the Greenland mess), and Canada, well, they have had enough of his BS to last for a generation.

And what have we gotten out of all of this so far? Let's see...crops rotting in the fields, no goods arriving at our ports, no tourists by the millions, costing our tourist meccas $billions of dollars.

tRUMP has screwed the pooch, and that pooch is us, not the world, us. Time to use one of those amendments of our constitution and get him out of office before he permanently damages everything.
