    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.

      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.

    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 what this is starting to sound like? The South Park episode Canada on Strike… except it is the US on strike and they are failing badly… and it is just a gaggle of fucking idiots dragging everyone down.

    “Art of the Deal”! Seriously, they want something that they can call a win and the only form of negotiation they understand is the shakedown and bullying. We shouldn’t assume there was ever another goal, at most there was a concept of an idea.

    Attack first, then attack the response. It’s just bullying and control. Now you can say they admitted they were wrong and are still wrong by not offering enough. The point is control, terror, continued concessions, “winning”.
