Remarkable, it’s like every time he opens his mouth something fantastically stupid comes out.
And conservatives think this… “person” is a capable and smart negotiator?
Lest we forget:

“The Democrats don’t matter,” Bannon told Lewis. “The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit.”
That’s the Bannon business model: Flood the zone. Stink up the joint. As Jonathan Rauch once said, citing Bannon’s infamous quote, “This is not about persuasion: This is about disorientation.”
Don’t fall for the bait.
Not sure what you’re trying to say? That he didn’t make those threats, or he did but taking them at face value is wrong?
It is little more than a distraction. The big news this week was that Musk nearly got the government shut down so that he could have a provision harmful to his foreign business removed from the bill. As a result, “President Musk” is trending, and Trump doesn’t like that.
But with that logic, can’t you dismiss just about every stupid and/or outrageous statement Trump makes as a distraction for something else?
Frankly, after worrying about the atrocities his administration will commit, I don’t have the capacity to worry about the nonsense that comes out of his mouth. I already spent 9 years being outraged about his words. I’ll save what’s left for his actions.
He’s a Qanon Teddy Ruxpin. A parrot with Tourretes. His entire existence in this is to spout bullshit and take the body punches.
That’s certainly an opinion
Making insane demands and negotiating from there is probably what a “smart negotiator” does, in their minds.
I say go for it.
Go on Trump, walk down to Panama, pick it up and bring it
backto the USA.Or are you making threats again that you don’t have to follow through?
