President Trump

Best line from Dirty Harry was when the mayor asked him how he knew someone was intending to commit rape:

Yep - give MAGA a sound-byte and they'll fill in the gaps with the first thing that comes into whatever they have in place of a mind. They'll then all make conflicting statements, whilst nodding along with each other, as if they were in agreement. They don't even really listen to the other MAGA morons, just agree with them wholeheartedly because they see the same hat.

If it was a sit-com scene, you'd be wondering how they all keep a straight face.

Has 0.9% of the global population ever wielded such power before <shakingHeadInDisbeliefAndResignation> ?

Hopefully his head will explode as his brain goes round in ever-decreasing circles trying to work out whether he should or shouldn't tariff Eddie Murphy's 'Coming to America'...

This is a golden opportunity for a European made movie about Trump to beat Titanic in all time box office revenues.

Combine the two - Trump as the Captain, just rename the ship 'The United States of America'...

This actually encapsulates the whole sorry shit show perfectly.

A country that has probably made more money from the film industry than the rest of the world combined; an industry where they have been provided an inherent advantage by another country by dint of the language that it produces its films in; an industry that has enabled the US to project its power, allure and wealth across the planet for over a century; an industry that has helped make that country the richest and most powerful in the planet; an industry that has in many ways defined that nation and shaped its identity; an industry that has given the US so much, and continues to.

And all this **** can talk about is how everyone else is ripping them off. It’s actually beyond pitiful.

It’s tiresome now isn’t it, I think the best way to treat him woukd be no one turning up to the press conferences apart from Fox and other lick arses, he wants/needs an audience if they all just blanked him that woukd hopefully give him a fucking cardiac arrest.

Rather than help, this could cripple the film industry, especially in this country, that's on it's knees already after covid. Lots of countries rely on American companies using their locations and studios.
The **** has no idea what he's doing.

How about this looker for Melania?

Then later, only after Trump has posed with her and called her 'a real beauty' let him know that she's Tula - the first transgender Bond girl :-)

Absolutely zero chance of it becoming a prison again. The costs to get it up to modern standards would be staggering. Could probably build 10 new prisons elsewhere. More bullshit to feed to the maga wankers

It’s pure distraction and clickbait on the biggest stage.
 
‘His [Shakespeare’s] plays probe the psychological mechanisms that lead a nation to abandon its ideals, and even its self-interest. Why would anyone, he asked himself, be drawn to a leader manifestly unsuited to govern, someone dangerously impulsive or viciously conniving or indifferent to the truth? Why, in some circumstances, does evidence of mendacity, crudeness or cruelty serve not as a fatal disadvantage but as an allure, attracting ardent followers? Why do otherwise proud and self-respecting people submit to the sheer effrontery of the tyrant, his sense that he can get away with saying or doing anything he likes, his spectacular indecency?’

- Stephen Greenblatt - Tyrant: Shakespeare on Politics

Think it may be time to watch some of the History plays again.
 
This speech from a few years ago by the extraordinary Iranian movie director Asghar Farhadi is well worth a quick watch in the light of the short-fingered vulgarian’s latest tariff pronouncement:

“My absence is out of respect for the people of my country and those of other six nations who have been disrespected by the inhumane law that bans entry of immigrants to the U.S.”

That is almost certainly the case, but my point was a separate one and something I’ve posted about previously, which is something that also permeates through many of his supporters.

Imagine the richest guy in the village. He’s got a bigger house than everyone else and because of his local clout and influence he can pretty much get his own way with what he wants. Because he can afford it, his house is more secure than anyone else’s and although a couple of other people in the village have moved to bigger houses in recent years, his is still the biggest.

And then imagine that person complaining to everyone who will listen that every single other person is ripping him off, and how unfair it all is. They would, quite rightly, be viewed as grotesque. People would say, something along this lines of ‘that ****’s got some brass neck complaining when he’s got fuck all to complain about’.

People often cite the decline in the rust belt as a pointer towards America’s diminishing power and wealth, but as things stand that is an egregious operation of misdirection. Whatever decline has occurred in America’s industrial base this decade has been overwhelmingly or possibly wholly mitigated by the rise in the global power, reach and wealth of US tech giants; the fact the US chooses not to redistribute that wealth to those areas that have lost out is an internal matter and fuck all to do with other countries ripping them off.

Their economy has outstripped Europe massively over the last couple of decades. This is indisputable.

They have got absolutely fuck all to complain or moan about.
