He’s also signing a bill that will make it illegal to break the law. As you know , that will end all crime on the spot.
So Doug Ford bitched out on his electricity tariff, AND TRUMP IS STILL GOING THROUGH WITH HIS STEEL AND ALUMINUM TARIFFS. Bravo, Mr. Ford, for flinching and proving to Trump that he can do whatever he wants. Someone, please tell me I've got the wrong take on this.
Nah, didn't work out that way. Doug applied them, Trump called begging for a talk and delay, Doug agreed, then Trump reapplied them. And now we've reapplied our own. Our new PM is not fucking around. https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps...liatory-tariffs-on-us-official-tells-reuters/ Trump: were just gonna do a little tariff... just a tiny one... Canada: OK we will too... Trump: idk why there are repercussions for my actions this is obviously a blatant attack by Canada we have to raise the tariffs... Canada: ok we'll add some too. Trump with his tail tucked between his legs: ok we'll go back to the original ones. Canada: ok we'll go back to our original retaliation. Trump: ok we just gonna sneak in a little tariff... Canada: ....sigh Trump is flip flopping like a fucking fish on the floor of a boat, and we're trying to take the relative high road because WE understand that this has a real impact to real people, so are trying to be a bit humane and sane about it. Go figure.
My brother asked me last night, "wait, Trump already reversed the tariffs?" and I had to clarify if he was talking about the reversal from that morning of the tariffs Trump placed the day before, or the evening reversal of the tariffs Trump implemented that afternoon.
Take note that Contractors have been reluctant to work on Trump Developements for decades. America and the world are beginning to learn what they have known for years, the man loves chaos and cannot make a decision and stay to it.
Don't forget that he'd stiff contractors on payment, drag it out forever, make it so you'd have to sue him for payment and then settle for pennies on the dollar.
Same reason that celebrities who've made it and secured their bag, cannot just allow themselves to fade into obscurity. That instinct and sociopathic drive that allowed them to become what they are, pushes them to become even more of it. They can't turn it off.
American banks long ago stopped doing business with him, it's why he had to deal with Deutschebank instead. Where Justice Kennedy's son just happened to work.
What I don't understand is why they're so fucking stupid about it. Shit I'm a huge nerd and the amount of nerd shit I'd be funding would be insane same for paying the people who make that shit(animators, artists, programmers, VFX people, etc.) would be wild ditto for nature preservation and stuff like Humane Society and ASPCA. I'd pretty much do shit that guarantees a few hundred if not thousand paintings and statues are made in my honor after I die.
Engineering a recession is 100% the goal...think back to 2020 or 2009 where the government in power decided who got bailed out, and to what extent, and what follow-on legislation changed the regulation in those industries. The thing you're overlooking is any billionaire you're seeing in the news at this point is at least a sociopath. They are mentally ill. It's just that simple. Put another way: if you were wildly successful with 3-4 business ventures, you likely have an endpoint, or at least a jumping off point where you're on an island, bathing in liquor and duck fat. How some of the world's wealthiest people do THIS bullshit with their time is the stupidest possible thing to me, and the only way it makes sense is if you realize they are sociopathic and wouldn't choose to become Batman, because it would mean defending normies from people with insane power...like himself. Also, they are surrounded by yes men, to the extent they are stupid. They simply have not had to take care of mundane anything for decades, and are incapable. Why would a billionaire take the time to get a basic science lesson on how MRNA vaccines work? If they haven't needed this information now, and they've achieved this level of success, it must be pointless nonsense. They only think about power, and manipulating it, and literally cannot fathom what the greater good is.
The only exception to this I think is Taylor Swift. Her fame is so wildly out of her own control at this point that I think the money just makes itself. She doesn't have to pursue wealth; she just keeps singing and people beat down the doors to fill arena after arena.
I disagree. Her shit is just managed so tightly, because her image, her brand and personality are all the same. If you have that kind of money AND that kind of fame, it's impossible it doesn't fuck you up psychologically. She's as batshit as anyone else, because most people who achieve that kind of success STOP WHILE THEY ARE AHEAD.
I'm sure she's batshit in her own way, but I don't think she's single-mindedly pursuing wealth the way a guy like Musk or Bezos is. She probably stopped thinking about money a long time ago; she's just in it for being on stage and the fame, and lets her team handle whatever details are necessary to let her continue doing that.
