Carney's words at Davos, "...because if we're not at the table, we're on the menu." I'm feeling kinda peckish. Maybe Turkey, Texas is a good place to gobble up to start.

The Art of the Deal. The end result is irrelevant. The goal: prolong the adrenalin rush by forcing individual countries to prostrate themselves at his feet begging for as long as possible. Dealing with the EU as a group shortens the rush. He craves them one-by-one.
