Looks like China is about to accept Trumps demands . Winning .
It's extremely unlikely that anyone, ever is going to give in something that Trump "demands" and if that's the depth of his negotiating skills, the Chinese don't give him the time of day.

Trump's "demands" have yet to yield any success, anywhere except with the Mexicans and Trump's own country has failed to ratify it, anyway.

Donald's "negotiating" skills seem to be limited to threats, demands and unrealistic bully tactics.

He is NOT a diplomat......by any stretch.

Interesting how his supporters are so binary in their "thinking"........ Win/lose, when any relationships.. negotiations are a lot more subtle & abstract than that.

Resist him and he caves. Then wanders off loudly proclaiming he doesn't care.

Think of a small boy.
Yes......that captures his "style" quite well...........add Twitter rants to the mix.......and you have the Donald in action.

The Chinese......and most of the world has him figured out...........which makes watching the Chinese in this dynamic quite interesting. They understand what STRATEGY is. Donald is not strategic or intelligent in his moves. A very limited attention span too.

Thinking Kim!

He's now a God-Emperor to his people ... met the enemy ON KIM'S OWN SOIL ON KIM'S TERMS and vanquished him. Now, nary a peep after the every-Thursday ICBM launch.

Possibly, that has zip/nada to do with Trump and that the US economy is doing well in spite of him.
.. at the moment. There are fears of a recession .........expressed by REAL economists. Hopefully......these "fears" remain as fears ......and not turn into reality.

B. S. . You are praying with every thing you have for anything that can be used against Trump . If that is a recession you are happy .

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


WE can thank Our idiot Boy Justin................................


and his loser LIE-berals.................................................



for DAMAGING Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In so very many ways!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!










Stupidly arrogant and always entitled LIE-berals do not believe that Cdns have noticed what aspiring Soviet dictators such as Our idiot Boy Justin and his vile father Pierre have been up to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Pierre Trudope had to allow that "not withstanding clause" into his CRAP Constitution simply so he could get his Human Rights- but too often WRONG Kangaroo Courts set up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Our landlord and tenant laws are set up simply to paralyze the system and this is in SHARP CONTRAST to our Human Rights Kangaroo Courts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-berals have decided that irresponsible tenants have MORE RIGHTS than the landlord..............................


that OWNS the property!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Just look at the LIE-beral designed hoops a landlord must jump through to get rid of a non paying tenant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


There have been various Horror stories in our news regarding "professional tenants who excel at ripping off the system...............



WITH THE AID of Human Rights Commissars !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Our Human Rights Kangaroo Courts DO NOT DEAL IN REAL LAWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our Human Rights Commissars deal in hurt feelings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As in: "you have insulted our LIE-beral values and our feelings are hurt- so you must be punished"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This LIE-beral hypocrisy leads to bigotry on a grand scale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is why- for instance- that a printer in Toronto can be hauled into Human Rights Court and fined for declining to print up gay positive posters because they violate his Catholic religion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But a Calgary Muslim Imam has FREEDOM OF RELIGION to tell a cheering crowd that they CAN KILL GAYS TO ENSURE THEY DO NOT SIN IN FUTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-beral bigotry is so selective that they deem it worse for the Catholic to refuse to print posters than it is for the Muslim to advocate death for gays in front of a cheering crowd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It is why LIE-berals can dismiss Ivan Demyanyuk- the Ukrainian who was conscripted at gunpoint into the German army- along with tens of thousands of others of various nationalities- and made to guard railway lines so that resistance fighters could not derail trains carrying Jews to concentration camps!


Demyanyuk lied about his forced service in the German army and so Chretien LIE-berals deported him as a Nazi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And yet Trudope LIE-berals are PAYING Muslim radicals like Omar Khadr for the inconvenience they suffered after being caught up in security nets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And LIE-berals are welcoming home Isis fighters as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



And of course LIE-beral bigotry is so selective they can refuse to deport CONVICTED Muslim terrorists of the Toronto 18- while happily deporting a Holocaust denier like Ernst Zundel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-berals IGNORE two Cdn reporters who published a report stating that there is ONLY RADICAL WRITING on Cdn Muslim web sites- because chicken sh+t LIE-berals do not want to sue reporters with valid stories and corporate resources who are able to defend themselves!!!!!!



But LIE-berals are DELIGHTED to go arrest the Mississauga man who offered up one thousand dollars to anybody who could provide video proof of hate speech taking place in Cdn Mosques!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yes- in LIE-beral Canada it is now ILLEGAL TO ASK FOR PROOF OF Muslim hate speech- unless you are a reporter representing a corporation tough enough to defend you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


As for the little guys- the Human Rights but Mostly Wrong Kangaroo Court exists ONLY to harass you into silence - WITH NO LEGAL PROOF - of any sort acceptable to an ordinary Cdn - REQUIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


TRUMP is playing a VERY HIGH STAKES POKER GAME...........................................


with the BEIJING BUTCHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And as former president Nixon said..................................


the American president MUST NEVER BE PREDICTABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If the president IS PREDICTABLE.......................................


than enemies of The Great Republic will know exactly HOW FAR .........................................


they can push Washington!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It is HARD to play your cards close to your chest.................


when a HORDE of LIE-berals are leaning over your shoulder



and LOUDLY OFFERING PUBLIC ADVICE......................


regarding how you should play your cards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


China contains TWENTY PERCENT of the entire human population.....................................


thus making a major change of plans or policy...................................


TAKES TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And POWERFUL PRESSURE...........................................


that Trump IS APPLYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


While STUPID LIE-berals tyr to sabotage him.......................................


FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH GREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



There are people talking of the coming Recession..................................


and LIE-berals want to blame Trump for that.....................................


INSTEAD OF DISCUSSING their own endless debt loads...................................


that are CRIPPLING THE WORLD ECONOMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

smart folks indeed. They play chess while the US plays checkers

No contest.

They have long term planning......while the US is instant gratification oriented.

no contest.


BUT the US has Nukes......has used them and would a gain.


I can,t get the thought out of my mind that saving the economic and cultural wreak USA is completely not envisioned by the orchestrating power pushing all the tiny little buttons to war. If they open a silo they,re dunfor. We don,t however have to endure mass American emigration as we are coincidentally becoming a no agriculture zone and these ugly emigrants will have eaten us all in the first wave, only possible in the new high summer of two weeks duration.
Let them eat snow.
