Trump is everything chauvinists were afraid would happen if a woman was elected president.

    Didn't his net worth increase by something like 2.2 billion dollars as president? (..so_far.gif..)

    Must be really good at predicting the markets, somehow. He's perhaps not that irrational when you consider his actual priorities (himself and his family), not whatever he is saying (MAGA).

    His age, incompetence, his pettiness, his hubris and his inability to accept truth ALSO drive him to make stupid choices.

    It was funny when he only hurt himself, but as president, it's a war crime.

    Huh? He's going to punish South Korea for not joining his Iran war, by warming relations with North Korea, who are supplying Iran in the Iran war?

    So he's pissing off both Taiwan and South Korea, while also trying to have a trade war with China, and also win the AI compute war. Good going.

    His narcissism, stupidity, and racism are making him make irrational policy choices. There is nothing new about this.

    I mean he attacked Iran as a distraction from the Epstein Files coverup, soooooo it's not like he started off making rational policy choices.

    NK is big on money laundering and crypto scams. I wonder if some of that ended up in Trump's pocket.

    Is this in addition to the irrational policy choices he makes while not enraged?

    That's not rage, it's very clearly dementia.

    Have any of his policy choices been rational?

    Of all the irrational policy choices that Trump is making due to his illegal war, lowering the scale of military exercises with South Korea is pretty low on the list, especially as North Korea has been cashing in its weapons cache so Russia can continue fighting Ukraine.

    I know that the South Korean military tends to need more training due to conscription, but I don't think that North Korea is choosing to be a major threat right now. You even have the South Korean President wishing to finalize a peace to the Korean War.

    He does not need rage to make irrational choices.

    Why would SK do that even if they wanted to, they have the DRK and China to worry about.
