   trump yesterday on the market sell-off:

   "I think it’s globalists that see how rich our country’s going to be and they don’t like it.

   Big market out there.

   But again, they’ve been ripping off this country for years. And they’re going to do great — everyone’s going to do great.

   But we can’t let this continue to happen to America. Otherwise we’re not going to have a country any longer"

   Is anyone buying this BS?

     I think a company that owns property in India, Ireland, Oman, the Philippines, Scotland, South Korea, Turkey, Indonesia, and Uruguay counts as globalist.

     Keith Kellogg, trump's special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, says Ukrainians brought the pause in U.S. intelligence sharing "on themselves."

     It's "sort of like hitting a mule with a two-by-four across the nose," Kellogg said of the impact of the intelligence pause on the battlefield. "Got their attention."

     This is extortion and sadism. It's - we will get hundreds more killed until you agree to give us everything.

     Inside the Explosive Meeting Where Trump Officials Clashed With Elon Musk

     Musk to Rubio: You have fired nobody.

     Rubio: Musk is not being truthful. What about the more than 1,500 State Department officials who took early retirement in buyouts? Didn’t they count as layoffs?

     Musk told Rubio he was “good on TV."

     Similar clash with transportation sec. Sean Duffy.

     Throughout all of this, trump sat back in his chair, arms folded, as if he were watching a tennis match.

     US Secretary of Commerce Lutnick: “Things are not gonna rise in price if you make them here”

     Reporter: “But sir, wages are higher here”
     
     Lutnick: “Then Robots will make them, millions and millions of jobs will be created and people don’t have to go to college”

     These guys really know their base - dimwits who will believe anything these guys say. Add in a few dollops of cruelty towards others and the base will be frothing at the mouths and sending them money.
