Following Trump’s stupid and semi-disastrous deal with Japan Donnie T. cut a deal with the European Union. Well, that’s what the headlines said. In truth? Well, he sat down with the head of the EU. A woman, and I’m guessing he thinks she’s hot. So, he cuts “a deal.” You’ll be shocked to know that it wasn’t a deal. It was, at best, a framework of a deal. Or maybe just a couple of talking points. But that’s good enough. He thinks he has a deal and that’s all that counts.
In medical news, a guy with no medical training wants to bring his cancer curing technique to the U.S. What exactly is it? Injecting bleach into cancer cells. Sounds like a winner to me. I think Bobby Jr should be first in line, then Trump, Vance, and Johnson. Oh and Laura Ingraham.
You know, if I think about what probably happened at the meeting between Trump and Ursula Von something or other. First off he probably thought she was “hot” because she’s white, well groomed and I’m guessing listened to him blather on. Then when he proposed something stupid she nodded and he thought he had a deal. The headlines said the EU averted disaster. The reality? By saying little or nothing they got the bully to forget his most outrageous stupidity – a 50% tariff.
Was it a deal? No. It was an agreement to agree on maybe doing something “in two weeks” is my guess. By that time he will have forgotten all about it and the EU can go on as it was.
Meanwhile, Canada and Mexico have agreed to a trade deal that cuts the U.S. out completely. What will this mean? Oh we will lose billions in trade. Art of the deal!
As children starve in Gaza, Africa, and throughout the world because we have a President who thinks that is showing strength we also have stopped AIDS medicine flowing to Africa, look for a new tide of infection. TB, measles, AIDS, Covid – all things we had eliminated or brought under control will resurface with a vengeance. But we’ve got the answer! Bleach! Injected directly. Yeah baby.
It’s sad, disgusting, horrible and we have another 3 and 1/2 years to go.
- Years ago, Malcom Forbes anchored his yacht in this harbor. He wanted to have the space at the end of the pier, but it was unavailable. What to do? Why put former Secretary of Defense, Kap Weineburger on it! He got the space the next year. I saw Kap once at the motel dining room seen in the far right of the picture. Small man, he didn’t seem happy. The Asticou Inn is located in Northeast Harbor, Mt. Desert, Maine.
Meanwhile Trump is busy setting up his new Air force one. You know the “gift” from the Saudi’s
