No, no, he will also ration and make sacrifices: one or two gilded ballrooms and 2-3 bling-bling jumbo jets are enough.
Trump wants your kids to ration pencils & dolls while he gets massive ballrooms, luxury jumbo jets, & taxpayer-funded golf trips.
What a greedy grinch.
What a greedy grinch.
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Elon Musk is furious that people who were not born in America are able to cast a vote in American elections.
I wonder what his attitude is about people who were not born in America but spend billions of dollars influencing American elections.

You don't have dementia tests one after the other if there isn't something clearly troubling about the results. My hunch is that he mixes up the lions with the rhinos at this point.
Trump says he has "aced" a third cognitive exam as he tries to deflect questions about his age and acuity.

Unbelievable. DN has a mysig 3 page interview with Martin Kulldorff and just lets him run with antivaxx propaganda with "both sides" feel, even a quote from Stabell Benn. What a day to do it on, given they just got rid of newborn Hep B vaccination.

I'm thinking of the future in the film Elysium a lot. That's where we're headed.
These 2,900 individual billionaires could lose 75% of their wealth and still be richer than 4 billion people.
Inequality is eating the whole world alive.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

USA, åtminstone de som bestämmer, är med folkmördarna i Kreml. Det är ett rätt beskt piller att svälja, men så är det. Möjligen att någon manöver på det ekonomiska området kan rucka på det, men uppenbarligen inte några ideologiska, historiska eller moraliska skäl.

Trump is deeply emotionally disturbed, and it's been obvious during all his time in politics. He is simply uncapable of thinking of anything else than himself. He can't even fake compassion. How anyone could think he would be a good president, and also reelected him, is beyond me.
Continually amazed that someone who's been in public life as long as Trump has lacks the capacity to say anything appropriate when someone has died.
Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?
TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.
