Trump and your expectations

[Mik]

Being Canadian on both sides, I hate to see tensions like this. It seems unnecessary and heavy-handed. While I like results, there's a way to go about it that isn't The Ugly American.

All this wanking off about how American could take Canada and Greenland is so silly.

Talk of annexing Canada might have been just silly in November or early December but since last month its continual repetition is creating nothing other than intense resentment here. No one here is treating it as a joke any more.

Silly wasn't really the right word to use, and I wasn't trying to play down how offensive Trump is being.

God alone knows which peanut gallery he is trying to play to with this rubbish.

How did Trump perform so far relative to the expectations you had before the election?

Practically perfect in every way.

Seeing that you are being your usual nebulous and passive aggressive self, let me be neighbourly and help you to be more transparent in what you mean by perfect:

Yes, and that's kind of the trouble. Trump always leads with the Barnum and Bailey. I'm happy with 90% of the things he's doing here in the United States. All that DEI and Trans stuff needed to go, but most of that is just a change in vibe not Presidential fiat. And maybe there are whole department of government that need to go--and if they are just fluff they should disappear--but it wouldn't hurt to look things over a bit, there may be some things worth keeping. Who knows? Not Trump and not the American people. But that's all our (that is, America's) problem.

On the other hand, I'm not too happy with Trump's forign policy overall. We have friends and we should keep them, we have enemies and we should beat them, and we should not confuse the two.

Speaking from Americas missile base, I'm disappointed Trump hasn't offered us Statehood.

Rest is mostly as expected, except for his recent unexpectedly generous offer to redevelop Gaza and rehouse its lovely people.

@AndyD

My concern, if I were you, is just what ecactly does Emporer Trumpigula want from Britain? Two weeks ago he praised Starmer after a telephone conversation and implied he could work with him, even become a friend.

Loving us enough to buy Turnberry and MacLoed for his golfing downtime portfolio, Trump(CF) probably just wants a teensy weensy bit of love in return.

Somebody should sell him on the idea of building a golf course further south. There's a big area just north of Salisbury that might work really well.

If Trump takes a dump and it's a big one, he wants to post about it. If Biden cured cancer, he'd mention it in some dull speech that even Jill wouldn't care about.

Trump is betting on Elon - because Elon was a winner in the past and bought influence.

Well, he didnt always think that way. LOL
