    So fucking stupid. If he’d picked one industry in one country, he’d have succeeded. But he’s only succeeded in uniting the world against him.

    Like when he had tariffs, where he said that INSERT NUMBER of countries, reached him to negotiate. Imagine being a liar, and the citizens still haven’t killed you yet. You have to be lucky!

    Nobody tell him that when he says things like that, it doesn’t make them look pathetic - it makes him look pathetic.

      There is a negotiating tactic where you try to convince someone that their potential allies have already surrendered, but it doesn’t work when that person can just contact those allies directly.

      Delusion and narcissism being his basis, you can’t make him see what he is.

      He might even be being told it. I’m sure the legions of suck-ups he surrounds himself with are telling him exactly what he wants to hear.

      Oh, I can believe a country would do this, it’s worth kissing ass to protect your country.

      I don’t believe they would do anything other than kiss some ass though.
