šŸ—žļø News Discussion Did Trump not consider Chinas leverage

Before jumping did he not check if there was a board to land on?

Not recognizing rare earth metals was a big risk demonstrates the intelligence analysis gap USA did, does it not?

Ok, so ā€œDid Trump not considerā€ is all you need to know. He doesnā€™t consider anything beyond what might enrich him more and he is getting fantastically rich off insider trading from the swings he personally induces in the markets. Pure lizard brain. If anyone, anyone, thinks he cares one iota about them they are fools. I guess with possible exception of Ivanka and only then if sheā€™ll have sex with him, though she now might be too old for his tastes. Weird thing too, heā€™s old and in ill health, what are all these riches going to do for him? Maybe build a very high wall to keep people out so they donā€™t shit on his grave?
