Man, that fake news label has not aged well at all. For all his theatrics aimed at the MSM, Trump sure has made them a shiton of money while restoring their credibility at the same time.  Well done mr prez.

They are batting waaaay above the nonsense garbage these Internet wannabe outlets are batting.

Time to start a war to distract from porn stars and investigations 

Trump fired the first shot with his tariffs at China yesterday.  This is potentially a huge problem.

 

On the shooting war front, if we hear that Mattis is on the way out, then it's time to worry.

I actually wonder if at some point the Republicans turning on Trump will be his biggest worry. Screw up the markets and start a war

Trump is still incredibly popular with the base.  Most of the Republicans want him campaigning with them in the upcoming elections. It's why they buried the Russia investigation and refuse to criticize him even when he says and does things that are degrading to the office and profoundly stupid.

 

Republicans aren't turning on Trump unless the base does.  Unfortunately, the base cares more about being right and pissing off the left than they do about figuring out what's best to move the country forward so I don't see it.

 

Dems are going to have to organize and vote him and all his cronies and all the spineless, gutless, pigs who supported him out of office.

China retaliated yesterday with among other things a 25% tariff on pork imports.  I wonder how the hog farmers who voted for Trump are feeling this AM?  They imposed other tariffs as well.

We have the power in this relationship. Trump wants them to stop requiring US companies to transfer technology as a condition of doing business there. This is a carrot and stick negotiation.

Mattis, McMasters, and Tillerson were keeping Trump in check. Its all on Mattis now. We're in trouble.

Bolton and Pompeo both want to withdraw from the Iran deal.  McMaster did not.  Bolton has also advocated a pre-emptive strike on North Korea without a launch from them being imminent.

Trump can't even cut a new NAFTA deal with Canada and Mexico, much less deal with China.  So, I'll believe it when I see it.

You know the National Security Advisor doesn't go through the confirmation process right? 

He was also rumored to be SoS which is what I was thinking about.
