Trump does have a point. He belongs in a prison.

TL;DR we should stop using “he has a point”. He’s mad.

You’re talking about a nation where mature rational adults are in such short supply.

Vascular dementia. A huge amount of his relatives have had it. The problem is that they seem to die really old despite that...

Opportunity costs 😢

I don't disagree, but the fact is that swathes of them *do* and it's very hard to see how to counter that. Education helps but it's far from the whole story; material improvements would definitely go some way to reducing the appeal of populism, but that doesn't seem to be on the menu this century.

The only point that mofo has is on his f**king head

While true, I question whether any of it is sane. The fundamental problem is Trump's arguments ignore how WTO tariffs work. Does he even knows how WTO works and why? Regardless he has destroyed the WTO. It simply can't function now. The world is back to trade wars - and wars.

🤣🤣🤣🎯 ... 😭

Maybe I should have written my if to scale...😁

There's a 'legitimate grievance' to be found?

I’m so tired of hearing this about RFK Jr too

“…mature and emotionally stable adult who had ever read a damn book.” (Trails off into weeping)

Well, that eould depend on what "it" is. A flaming plate of dogshit? Give it. A hand grenade with the safety pin out? Give it.

Imagine if the media was prepared to wade through a slurry of mediocrity to find the one decent point the current crop of UK ministers are making. And gave them the benefit of the doubt.

And even that is wrong

I think I have literally thought and said this over 1 million times. 👆I see you! And I think great minds think alike! 😂

a broken clock of a man if ever there was

🍊💩

I usually respond to people who say "he has a point" with something like "As soon as it's delivered in a coherent manner by an adult with all their faculties intact, I may listen."

A stopped clock is right twice a day, but you can’t get any information from it.

That and the he's playing some sort of 5D chess strategy. I wish everyone (particularly in the media) would just come out and say that he is just immensely dumb and the people around him are just immensely dumb. And they all see the world through a weird and incredibly delusional lens.

what was that about a thousand monkeys and a Shakespeare script? I think it included typewriters and a closed room. oh yeah and infinite time.

There is, possibly, a nugget of gold in the tsunami of slurry. But ignoring the tsunami of slurry, to focus on the one possible nugget, is going beyond wilful obtuseness to downright delusional.

Dadaist populism! Bored of ‘Look, times are bad. Blame the foreigners.’ He’s moved on to ’Look, tariffs are free money, and here’s a Greenland!’ I think we should see where he takes it! Mainly because we have no choice in the matter and I’ll take fake agency over the horror.

But, in fairness, he does have a point, just one that's shit and, in the real world, would have him denied access to sharp objects and then put in a straight-jacket and locked up

Dmitry has a point here

WORD!!!!!!!!

Except that, neither of those two things are correct about Trump ever.

I don't fucking think so.

fair point

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Awesome! Thank You! @explaintrade.com 🙄😬🙃😘
