The media is littered with it. So much egg on so many faces.
runner,
Not just the Media, some OLO'ers also show that there's no limit to vindictiveness !
Showman, maybe ? We've had Rudd, a clown ! Look how much support he had from this same lot before they found out that he really wasn't all that funny !

Trump To Unleash Hell On Europe: EU Announces Channel To Circumvent SWIFT And Iran Sanctions Is Now Operational

"Here is a simpler summary of what just happened: this was the first official shot across the bow of the USD status as a global reserve currency, and not by America's adversaries but by its closest allies. And once those who benefit the most from the status quo openly revolt against it, the countdown to the end of the USD reserve status officially begins."

SR we both can see this thread is full of the poor lost souls who think Trump is fairdinkum
Deeper thinkers see this very mornings papers, all of them, saying the little north Korean dictator got more out of that hand shake than Trump
Barnum and Bailey started this stuff Gobbles refined it but Trump mastered it
You can fool some of the people all of the time, like a kitten jumping on its new ball of string, the few have jumped on the Trump bandwagon
And not even they know quite why
BUT he may yet win a second term
Democrats have far too many, far too unrealistic, candidates
Two good ones but aged, a woman who may make a great POTUS but [like Bill Shorten] has too many entrenched dislikers even before she starts
And [sadly] too many anti woman POTUS voters
Consider, are Russia China North Korea better served by Trump than a strong POTUS?

Belly,
if there is a war monger on OLO, it's you. You just can't get yourself to let things go their way, you just have to throw a spanner in the works. You don't happen to work for NEWS.com.au by any chance ? You seem the kind who'd criticise himself if there was no-one else around. You just have to criticise for criticising's sake !
Most of us here are trying to get out messages for possible solutions but not you. You just have to find fault ! Cut it out, you're not in the Union anymore ! If you demand of others to be perfect then the least you can do is to be reasonable yourself !

The art of the deal - so Trump backs down against China, Russia, Iran (wait and see) and North Korea (again: wait and see). Maybe Mexico (or even Venezuela) are next for his brilliant bluster-and-backdown tactics ? What a genius.

No wonder he's gone bankrupt three times, at least.

I can't figure out his mental age - somewhere between eight and sixteen. A reading expertise could assess his reading age from Twitter. As well, inheriting great wealth, and being over six foot, makes him the archetypical bully. I remember a big kid like that in primary school, his father was the headmaster.

But I don't think Trump can just chuck a tanty with those countries and get his way. Wait and see.

Joe

as they say if Trump created a cure for cancer the left would complain that doctors have lost their jobs. Anyone see those petty, virtue signalling, American hating democrats making fools of themselves the other day.
