the foreign press is on to Trump... that he just does stuff to cause chaos

[Demovictory9]

today's news. European reporter mentioned that Trump moved from fight with enemies to fight with US allies because he
just "spoiling for a fight". they are on to him. that tariff battles have no complex thought behind them, no rhyme or reason. Trump does this stuff just because he likes to... it makes him feel important and he likes to fight.

Same with today's announcement about pre-existing conditions in insurance. Trump doesn't care about suffering of people. He just does stuff because he can.

Sick guy.

1. Thankfully critical thinking journalists exist outside of the US to call Trump on his bullshit

2. I wish

We'd read more like that here. It's the goddamn truth.

3. exactly, Trump is a reality show ringmaster

who is skilled at chaos politics, and is calculating in all he does, far from the 'bumbling fool' image some like to believe about him.

He is politically talented in a Machiavellian sense, he knows what gets people worked up and plays to that... it's why 2020 Dem candidates can't understimate him like people did in 2016.. especially w/him having the power of the presidency, he will pull out all the stops to retain power.

4. He's good at causing chaos all right. Most times his moves make...

little economic or geopolitical sense but they keep the chaos around him flying.

His base will always be good with it but others will tire of it.

There are more "others" than his base. 2018 is critical. If the Dems take the House he'll be in big trouble.

5. Agree, and don't rule out Trump snubbing his base

as soon as he sees they can't "win" for him... why we must get the House, would humiliate him as well as making him fear impeachment.

Basically Trump and his psycho base both use each other, and when they don't get what they want from the other, they will turn and rip each other to shreds.

6. Fingers crossed on that.
