Uh, change of plans. Before long, when Trump finishes bankrupting America, (a leopard can't change it's spots after all), we're gonna buy the whole kit and caboodle for pennies on the dollar and make it our 11th province. Or... we could slap on a coat of paint, a modest mark-up, and we'll deal...

Idolator is still checking his mailbox daily, looking for his $5000 DOGE dividend and his $2000 tariff benefit. There's one born every minute!

I know they are "academics" and worked at American institutions doing research until Trump cut their funding. I presume most are American. I'm pleased to see Canada taking advantage of Trump's shortsightedness.

I think you're right.

I guess it depends on the Americans involved. If you're talking about Trump, Lutnick and Hoekstra, three's way too many.

Well the actual numbers involved are less important than the principles of the matter. Trump hates experts or anyone with more knowledge than himself. He loves "the poorly educated", the easily duped, the mouth breathing slack-jawed yokels, the typical MAGA voter. His fragile ego compels him to...

As always, time will tell... But I'm sure you won't be surprised to hear I have a positive feeling! I like educated, unbiased, free-thinkers who want to live in a free society.

You seem to be harbouring an unhealthy fixation with this whole collapse thing. The collapse has begun, the collapse is ongoing, and the collapse is accelerating. Wait, did you hear that? Like the rumbling of distant thunder? That wasn't thunder my friend...That's the bond market turning it's...

Sigh... Trump's done tremendous damage, but only as he was enabled by those who were willing to pervert their standards of what is right and what is wrong, putting Trump before their own morals.... That's on them.

How about, “I think the war is very complete, pretty much.” 5 months ago.

And you, friend, are a hapless dupe. You're the Dunning-Kruger effect personified. annabenedetti said: Thank you for all those words saying basically you don't know why Trump went to war with Iran. Top secret security clearance to explain why you're at war with Iran? Past presidents have had...

...or, you could pay it with dollars worth less than those borrowed, through the tried and tested process of inflation. Is this why Trump is always pressuring the Fed to reduce short term rates, despite "sticky" inflation?
