Mate, I'd pick him any day off the week. He can take dodgy loans and I'll clean him out

If this is how Trump negotiates, I think we cash see why he been bankrupt so many times

That isn't the point of these talks. Trump, has no ideology other than what makes Trump look good. I'm that vein, these talks will

1. Get Trump a Nobel prize for ending an "intractable" war. Suck it Obama.

2. Stop sending money outside the US. Trump as far as I can tell has never had any friends. He can't figure out why you would help any one who is worse off you than yourself.

3. Which brings me to the final point. Putin, is on paper the stronger person in this conflict. Trump doesn't see character as a useful trait, which in this comparison completely negates what ever Ukraine and Zelensky bring to the table. I don't think any one knows why he likes the man so much, but Trump clearly wants to ingratiate himself with him, so he's bending over backwards to give him what he wants.

Putin has repeatedly said that Zelensky is illegitimate and would not negotiate with him. Guess who isn't invited to this particular set of negotiations?

The US has opened negotiations in a strong position by giving one side everything they asked for, to the point that the Russians are trying to figure out what else they can get away with.

When Trump eventually concludes negations it'll be every bit as hollow as Bush standing on an aircraft carrier with a mission accomplished banner behind him. Trump will demand a Noble prize, just like the one Obama got. Peace will not be achieved.

Very Confucian

Ahhhh yes, I see you that you know your judo well

He's got a good chance. All he needs do is say "are you worse now than 3 years ago," while not providing a better solution than what we lived through

If elon had friends they'd be giving him so much shit

If the US pulls out of nato for this reason, history books will be written that this was the moment the empire feel apart. All US allies will realise how unreliable an ally they are and start making alternate arrangements

Well yeah, probably because he doesn't know the right answer. Is he going for a loan? He's richer than Mansa Musa? Are the Feds trying to make him pay taxes? He's virtually bankrupt

It's even better when you break the name down kwarizam is where he's from and Muhammad is a common first name. It's like saying Johnny English (or may be Jean Francois) invented calculus in 10-diggity-dig

Lena Khan is amazing and taught me the word monopsylony. Absolutely stoked that Biden chose her and the fact that she is going so hard on creating a competitive environment
