PM Carney: “You Pays Your Money…”

"… and you take your chances.”

But the world knows it can’t trust Trump for the next four years. And with Congress staying in the locker room:
Trump is the only player on the field. No, he’s not. The nation isn’t a shop, and he isn’t its keeper. Any deal he negotiates has to be ratified by the Senate, and frankly if the Congress doesn’t start  challenging Trump’s supposed authority to tear up such agreements unilaterally, it won’t matter if the Democrats take Congress in 2026. The world will still be dealing with the unrestrained toddler with a shotgun. And with Congress not asserting its authority, Trump is establishing America’s reputation for a long time to come.

Unless Congress disabuses the Orange Idiot of his idiocies fast, we, the people, will be dealing with the consequences for a very long time.
Absolutely no one thinks Donald Trump knows what game theory (unless he thinks it’s a theory about “woke games”), or that he’s accidentally engaging in it. This is just an elaborate euphemism for “Trump is a chaos agent who never knows what he’ll do next.”

And, of course, there’s the moral scolding: Lessons in asceticism for thee but not for me from a middle aged white male billionaire go over particularly well.

    It's always remarkable to me how billionaires and missionaries are never better for being deprived of the extra million or more that they want even though it makes absolutely no difference to how they live. It's like the old observation that the conservatives thought more money was bad for the morals of the poor but good for the work ethic of the rich.
