As many Americans continue to grapple with what is wrong and what is right, and aren’t sure which side of an issue to sidle up to until their team in the team politics arena tells them what to think about murder, mayhem, human rights, the constitution, laws, et al., the Mob Boss has weighed in and delivered a one liner that’s sure to pacify many an American who can’t decide if government goons putting a few bullet holes into an innocent man just might be a bridge too far.
President Donald Trump says he doesn’t care whether he has the same neurological disease his late father suffered from—whatever it was.
Speaking to New York magazine’s Ben Terris, the president recounted stories about his father, Fred Trump, who died in 1999 at the age of 93.
“He had one problem,” Trump said. “At a certain age, about 86, 87, he started getting, what do they call it?” He pointed to his forehead, and looked expectantly at White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
“Alzheimer’s,” Leavitt said.
“Is it something you think about at all?” Terris asked.
“No, I don’t think about it at all. You know why?” Trump replied. “Because whatever it is, my attitude is whatever.”
Absolute frickin’ genius!
Dumpy has stumbled upon how many operate in their daily lives, except their daily lives don’t involve killing innocents.
Trump’s laissez-faire attitude about his cognitive decline comes amid, well, a lot of apparent instances of cognitive decline. The president has repeatedly claimed that he has taken multiple cognitive tests amid multiple mysterious visits to the hospital for vague exams. Last week in Davos, Trump claimed that a massive bruise on his hand was the result of taking a “big aspirin.” But doctors have theorized that the president’s discolored hands could be a sign of something much worse. – via newrepublic.com
Whatever!

Trump Threatens Canada With 100% Tariffs Over China Trade Deal – via antiwar.com
President Donald Trump has vowed to impose a 100% tariff on Canadian goods should Ottawa strike a new trade deal with Beijing, after Canada agreed to slash duties on Chinese electric vehicles earlier this month.
Trump made the threat from his Truth Social account on Saturday, taking a jab at Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who he dubbed a “governor” – likely a reference to his previous suggestion to make Canada the next US state.
“If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the USA,” the president said, adding “If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a ‘Drop Off Port’ for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken. China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life.”
That’ll work, right?
And don’t think just because he lives in ‘whateverism’ that he doesn’t care to continue to push his ‘peace’ agenda around the world.
