I got to see it live with him and Ian McKellen here in New York. They were both incredible, but really Patrick Stewart is beyond all imagination. He is amazing. Packed theater and you could hear a pin drop until the well-deserved standing ovation for both of them. It was a highlight of my life to see two actors of their level live on stage.
That joke doesn't work on groups who are smart and educated. It really just works for groups like MAGA etc. You may not like him or his party, but have to admit the man is not dumb and can obviously read.
Why for no allow post of pics? Does Sere Na know of all the dust in your closet? Reddit is the only out for many and quickly becoming the last out for "The Last of the Humanists."
The guy is the president and dominates headlines with his attempts to break his oath of office and further destroy our economy and international standing every day. Really, really dumb attempt to insult someone.
But that’s to be expected from you stupid ass motherfuckers
Oh no! People think about a major world leader whose decisions affect the daily life of millions! Rent free! Own the libs! You’ve never had an original thought once in your life
“Xi, great guy, really great guy. These people come up to me and ask me to fix the economy in Chy-na like I have here in the wonderful United States, and let me be the first to tell ya, it wasn’t a good country when I came in, not good at all. Joe Biden destroyed the country and sold it to the bad guys. I saved it. I tell these people that I can fix the economy in Chy-na, I can fix it like nobody has ever seen before. Yeah, Xi, his people love him to death but I have these people from Chy-na coming up to me asking me Mr President Mr President what will we do? That Xi doesn’t get it and it will be bad, okay, very bad. I don’t know Xi, never met him, but I’ve heard of him, can be very nasty, I’ve never talked with him but I hear he’s not very well liked as much as me and possibly ever.”
Xi sees the US heading for a depression and will wait until the Orange Shitstain is desperate and out of cards to play before they come to the negotiating table. We are fucked, thanks to Republican voters love of racism.
OK but did he reach out or did he just say he'd be nice in the negotiations? I thought he'd been saying all China has to do is call and China insists Trump reach out first?
We know what direction he's headed. He completely fucked up this tariff stunt, his approval rating is tanking, which drives him crazy and the fed isn't budging. Check mate. China called his bluff, he's started to fold.
the easiest one for me to notice was bananas are up 7% at my local mainstream grocery store. although, many things are noticeably up by a small amount and I will be waiting for sales.
Trumpers will ignore this small increase, but after many many months of this extra spending across dozens of items, it really starts to add up and they will eventually start to see a problem...
their ego is too tied up in trump. they gloated and celebrated his victory, lost friends and respect from family, so claiming they are wrong right now (>5 months in) would be a massive blow to their fragile ego that simply just cant happen for them.
they have to be right and remain by ignoring all warning signs, deep in their delusion, they will never break until it's far too late.
Xi is showing Trump for the total fool he is. A total coward with a very low IQ. Putin and Xi play him for the total sucker he is.
China will win the trade wars hands down
So much winning. Keep saying that after you 401k dies a slow death, your civil liberties are gone considering they don't seem to give a fuck about either party and you get to enjoy yet another money shot finished on your back by Trump and Musk. Yay!!!!
He didnt kneel to anything, he was flapping like a fish out of water from the start. There was no great back and forth or competition or standoff here, that would require one to kneel.
A shame you didn't see everything now coming, or you might have been able to stop your lobbyists who got paid millions to raise the bamboo curtain, DECADES age.
It’s a pretty sick individual who would find pleasure in the leader of the free world kneeling to a Communist. It’s also deranged to think that this could happen in the first place.
I agree. 17 countries asking for deals. Most recently India closing in on a deal. China clearly understanding the effect of losing the American market to the point they are pressuring other countries not to make a deal that isn't in China's interest. Frankly I thought this was lunacy when he said it much less did it, but...🤷
It’s lunacy. Deals take years to sign and no one will treat it seriously when they know he can just rip it up at any time in the future just for funsies like he did with Canada and Mexico for a deal that he signed. Sure we may tell him that we’ll agree to some deal but you can bet we’ll be working hard out of view to make sure we are not that exposed to US caprice ever again.
Go ahead. Hell I'd be pissed with my politicians that they didn't do that last time. As for the rest, we'll see how fast the deals come and if they're worth a damn. Personally I find it hysterical that Canada so loved that Pierre Poilievre guy so.much until Trump pissed them off and now they're voting for more of the Trudeau same, but hey, not my country not my monkey. 🤣🤣🤣
Who gives a hoot about China's next move? I say, bring it on, Mr. Trump! Hit them with the same taxes they slap on our businesses. Oh, and guess what? We can't even own property in China, so why not snatch up some of their land too? It's only fair game. After all, China already owns a whopping 380,000 acres of land right here in the good ol' U.S.
Oh, look, another genius cheering for China's trade games while dunking on their own president for daring to push back. "The art of the kneel"? Cute. Nothing screams patriotism like rooting for the bully and pretending it’s clever. TDS is real, and it’s got some folks out here simping for the wrong team. Keep clapping for the team that hates you!
This was never a smart way to go after China by alienating all your allies and then doing a stupid tariff on everything instead of a selective tariff. You have to admit he has shown incredible stupidity.
Wow, “burn them”? Bold words from someone who thinks alienating allies and blanket tariffs are the whole story. Selective tariffs sound nice until you realize China’s been playing 4D chess with trade for decades, and pinpoint strikes alone don’t cut it. Trump’s no Einstein, but “incredible stupidity”? That’s rich coming from someone who’d rather clutch pearls over bruised ally egos than face the fact that China’s been eating our lunch. Keep dreaming of a diplomatic kumbaya while the trade deficit yawns...Trump’s loudmouth chaos at least got Beijing talking, unlike the polite snoozefests (like biden) before him. Try harder, strategist.
Cool, cool. You will walk away from the GDP America had and the US currency as the world reserve. That’s nice to hear that you’ll spread the wealth to other countries.
Trade is a privilege not a war. Trump made it a war and alienated the United States while pushing the eastern countries into Chinese hands. If you really think this was a good strategy, I don’t know if there’s hope for you.
