Xi gets Taiwan and the Pacific.

The fascists have already divided up the planet for themselves.

That's why he's given it a "special envoy" as well as an ambassador.

Damn who would save the world from these fascists?

The allied powers saved the world during WW2, who will save us now?

He has had military troops there for a long time.

And has forced debt trap loans for African nations.
Loans them huge amounts of money they cannot pay back for infrastructure projects.
Which must be built with Chinese goods and by Chinese companies.
So the countries are on the hook to China politically and economically.
And China benefits economically.

5. He has threatened EU countries with tariffs if they don't buy more oil and gas from the U.S.

When he won in 2016 I remember reading the Artic Circle was going to be very important for it's untapped resources. So disregard climate change and let the Artic melt. Russia needed American technology to get the oil in the Artic so they needed Rex Tillerson of Exxon to be a partner. If the Artic melts, Greenland will be strategically important for the exploitation of the oil.

7. I want CA, OR and WA to become a new province

To be under a stable government run by adults and to have a real health care system. That would be something I could get behind.

AND the fact that I wouldn't need my passport to get a box of Timbits.

(I love Canada. I've visited five times in the last year. If I'd won the Megamillions, I'd be shopping for houses right now).

11. Who is putting these bugs into his ear?

Because, while cunning, he's dumb as a doornail and can't even point out these countries on a map, let alone knows any history. His professor called him the dumbest student.

He better stop before he gets our country into a war we can't win, putting us in harm's way.

Why hasn't his diet taken over, he's almost 80 years old?


Idiots who voted for this snake oil salesman should be shunned.

15. Trump wants to sow chaos and to distract

He promised reduced grocery prices, until he didn't. He promised loads of stuff while lying his ass off. He's offered up unqualified and incompetent Cabinet choices, is reportedly talking seriously about invading Mexico with Special Forces. Wants to convert the country's monetary system to BitCoin, pull out of World Health Organization (NATO is clearly next), deport millions of immigrants and put them in camps and on and on and on.

Yet the 'free" press is trying to normalize the utterances of a madman.

What could go wrong?????
