You think it won't work?

With who?

With who?

Well the US electorate, I suppose. The people he is expecting to call him a hero in the analogy.

By the US electorate I presume you mean the cunts who voted for him, and if so I exp3ct you are correct.

Of course it "works" -- with those who already believe he can do no wrong. I don't know if it works with everyone else; will depend on how much damage the fire has caused already.

Trump says US-China relations 'reset' as markets surge on tariff pause

The 90-day pause is a major de-escalation in the tariff war and comes after talks between both countries in Geneva.

You mean, American manufacturing is no longer coming home? I for one am shocked by this development.

Trump tariffs get to stay in place for now. What happens next?

It came a day after a previous ruling temporarily blocked many of the administration's sweeping trade tariffs.

The more I read about what is happening with the US administration the more it resembles Germany in the 1930's.

I've mentioned this a few times in recent years. Been accused of hyperbole more than once.

This is massive. It will finish up at SCOTUS pretty quickly. If that court confirms the trial court findings, Trump’s major policy plank is dead. Cue guffaws worldwide.

It really resembles the Weimar republic with total chaos and a failure of the rule of law. The reaction to that gave us the Nazis……oh dear. Hitler became, for all practical purposes, a President with unlimited power and the Weimar constitution died.

…and if SCOTUS choose to mainly vote for Trump side…which is entirely possible/likely given the lapdogs installed.

Luckily, Trump has completely pissed off the SCOTUS justices, calling judges communists etc and not obeying their orders. My bet is that the Chief Justice, the liberal justices and Barrett will vote against Trump. As you imply, the alternative is frightening.

Kavenaugh will likely vote Trump. His deal with the Devil is in need of paying sooner or later.

We've come to the point where we're relying on Amy Coney Barrett to help save liberal western democracy. It's a funny old world.

Yes, she’s a conservative and voted for the change to the abortion law. Recently it seems her attachment to the rule of law has prevailed over any political philosophy. There is a pic somewhere of her giving a filthy look to Trump. I don’t think she likes him!
