But Trump’s quest for the highest office is an entertaining chapter in an already complex history in the capital markets.<br /><br />https://www.forbes.com/sites/debtwire/2015/08/18/a-trip-down-donald-trumps-bankruptcy-memory-lane/2/#575a88616def<br /><br />That's what I like about Trump: he puts on a big show wherever he goes!

But he's putting his money where his mouth is by following through on his vow to change them and bring workers higher wages via Fair Trade. <br /><br />He's already trying to force Mexican oligarchs to pay their autoworkers $15/hr from $3/hr. Trudeau stands on the side of Mexican oligarchs and Canadian plutocrats who want to continue to drive down wages and ship Canada's auto industry to Mexico.<br /><br />Trump didn't declare bankruptcy 5 times. He lost big on a casino and trashed his reputation and credit. So he had to use junk bonds to finance other projects. Like using the credit card, you have to pay much higher interest. When a project was near completion and seen as a success, it was no longer a big risk. Therefore no sense paying big risk premiums. Therefore he would declare Chapter 11 to renegotiate the debt. Junk-bond holders would become shareholders.

'Obomba' had a reason to overthrow Gaddafi after striking a peace deal with him – as well as expanding 2 unpopular wars (he promised to end) into 7 military interventions across the Middle East (which produced a flood of Muslim refugees into Europe.) A reason that should be investigated by some kind of Congressional committee, IMO.<br /><br />But Americans have no interest in North Korea, aside from de-escalating tensions in the region. They and the rest of the world want nuclear non-proliferation. No nukes in NK or Iran (or Saudi Arabia.) And Trump is the one who's bringing it. All the elite gum-flappers pathetically let tinpot dictators walk all over them. They were Neville Chamberlains before the Kim dynasty. How pathetic. <br /><br />The Donald trumps bribe-taking lawyer-politicians and revolving-door businessman-politicians because he's a gameshow host! Think of it this way: if you think Trump is a fool, than even a fool is better than someone who will make the worst decisions all of the time because that's what they get paid to do in some way, shape or form.<br /><br />He's not only a gameshow host, he's also a reality-TV contestant starring in the Biggest Show on Earth! And he's in it to win it! That is, go down in history as one of the great presidents! Revered by future generations.<br /><br />Think that's funny? I think it's funny his cliquish bigoteer opponents could never bring themselves to give him credit for anything. They would rather self-immolate. And that's how they keep losing. That's how they lost to Reagan. That's how they lost to Bush. <br /><br />And Trump is doing a lot more for Americans, despite whatever his personal flaws and policy errors, than they ever did.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-53613800740901167422018-06-02T01:34:09.395-07:002018-06-02T01:34:09.395-07:00.. its 4:15 AM - I have cows to milk & 400 pou..... its 4:15 AM - I have cows to milk & 400 pound beeves to feed<br />The vagaries of donald the Trumph's twisted brain are just that<br /><br />Later I have a fine piece of vinyl to hand over for my one son<br />a Fred Neil.. an album I never knew existed<br />and not Eveyone's Talking At Me<br /><br />el Trumpho can do a double invert mooberry<br />full twist toe grab with double doobery<br />and stick the landing<br />I care not<br /><br />nor if he face plants<br /><br />I know a scumbag when I see or hear him<br />( I is experienced.. as Hendrix might say)<br />and he exceeds every intrinsic<br />danger metric embedded in me<br />I wouldn't sell the A hole a pail of water<br />if his ass was on fire<br /><br />Off to milk some cows<br />and discuss politics with them<br /><br />Think it will be Stone Roses in the milk room this AM<br />Yesterday was Steve Earle.. <br />and my foot got stepped on during Copperhead Road<br /><br />" I learned a thing or two from charlie.. dontcha know.." ouch !<br />get off my foot.. says I slappin an 11 hundred pound holstein<br />who looks back at me placidly.. <br /><br />damn .. the salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-78944608155864273522018-06-01T20:23:23.232-07:002018-06-01T20:23:23.232-07:00Well; when I read the above I shit my pants.

U.S. President Donald Trump say...ART OF THE DEAL? <br /><br />U.S. President Donald Trump says he’d prefer to see separate bilateral trade deals with Canada and Mexico instead of the current North American free-trade agreement.<br /><br />Mr. Trump says – as he has many times before – that NAFTA has been a terrible deal for the United States, while its North American trading partners make “many billions of dollars” at the expense of Americans.<br /><br />And he suggested Friday that the idea of a trilateral trade deal doesn’t make sense – a notion he has floated before as a possibility, should the current NAFTA talks fail to reach a consensus.<br /><br />“To be honest with you, I wouldn’t mind seeing NAFTA where you’d go by a different name, where you’d make a separate deal with Canada and a separate deal with Mexico,” he said Friday after a meeting with North Korean officials.<br /><br />“You’re talking about a very different two countries. I wouldn’t mind seeing a separate deal with Canada where you have one type of product … and a separate deal with Mexico.”<br /><br />NAFTA, he repeated, has been “a lousy deal for the United States from Day 1.”<br /><br />“We lose a lot of money with Canada and we lose a fortune with Mexico. But it’s not going to happen like that anymore.”<br /><br />Trump floats replacing NAFTA with bilateral agreements with Canada, Mexico<br />https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-trump-floats-replacing-nafta-with-bilateral-agreements-with-canada/<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-83225733143580648422018-06-01T16:44:39.326-07:002018-06-01T16:44:39.326-07:00Rocket Boy put his life in his own hands firing of...Rocket Boy put his life in his own hands firing off ICBMs into the Sea of Japan. He can only save his life by ending his ICBM nuclear program. (Which he appears to be doing, thanks to Donald J. Trump. No more rockets either.)<br /><br />Trump is no BHO. He has no interest in bombing North Korea to send a flood of Muslim refugees into Europe. He's trying to avoid regime change.<br /><br />Trump's position is non-nuclear proliferation among rouge regimes. Period. Nothing more, nothing less.<br /><br />He is saving the world from some form of inevitable exchange of nuclear fire that would see North Korea and/or Iran wiped off the face of existence (for about 10,000 years, in any case; before their lands become habitable again.)<br /><br />Trump has also signaled that the days of free-trade-globalization looting are over. He's hitting Mexico and Canada with trade sanctions, specifically, because they refuse to raise wages for Mexican workers and renegotiate NAFTA. They represent oligarch looting. Donald J. Trump represents workers across North America.<br /><br />Just take note of who's saying to act hysterical over Trump and for what reasons. The wolves tearing up the hen-house say Trump is the problem because he's trying to stop them!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-87407703129275046192018-06-01T16:05:17.163-07:002018-06-01T16:05:17.163-07:00South Korean's are rather sensitive about Amer...

It is also the only country to have attacked Canada and I have no doubt that it would do so again if frustrated over oil or water. A crackpot in the White House is not necessary. Thomas Jefferson was reputed as saying, "The acquisition of Canada this year will be a mere matter of marching."<br /><br />Back to Kim Jong Un who leads a rather nasty regime. When compared with Trump, Kim appears sane, logical and almost nice which he isn't. What the North Korean regime wants is to be allowed to continue as a repressive Stalinist country without fear of external meddling. <br /><br />The frustrating thing for outside observers is that North and South Korea were making positive steps toward mutual toleration and cooperation back when Kim's dad was in charge. Then David Frum wrote that stupid "Axis of Evil" speech. There was a massive collective groan in South Korea when GW Bush read that speech. <br /><br />As a side note, did you know that many South Koreans boycotted one of the James Bond films? It had a portrayal of an American General announcing that he would mobilize South Korean military forces. South Korean's are rather sensitive about American attitudes. Tobynoreply@blogger.com
