Step 1. Raise tariffs on Canada
Step 2. say "That's Fine" when Canada threatens to cut off oil sales
Step 3. Tell EU they have to buy more US petroleum while unleashing a supply from up North onto the free market and expect the EU not to buy the Canadian supply
Step 4. Profit?


I am personally shocked that this man managed to bankrupt a casino.
He’s the personification of a “solution looking for a problem.”
Can anyone here who voted for this man defend this?

Of course they can. Theyve breathlessly defended the ignoramus for damn near 10 years. Now, if “logical” is implicitly embedded in your version of “defend”, no, they can’t, but ttump and his Pepe the frog/maga milieu have never operated on sound logic.
 


“Swamp Oligarchs” — when Musk and Trump and a dozen billionaires getting Trump appointments (and Thiel lackey Vance) are running the Trump Admin, who are the oligarchs?

Trump has tapped an unprecedented 13 billionaires for his administration. Here's who they are​

The nominees make up the richest presidential administration in modern history.



“…Even discounting Musk, Trump's cabinet is still expected to be the wealthiest in history, with reported billionaires Howard Lutnick nominated as commerce secretary, Linda McMahon nominated as education secretary, and Scott Bessent nominated as treasury secretary. Together, Trump's expected cabinet is worth at least $7 billion.

Trump's ambassador picks also include several billionaires, including financier Warren Stephens, who has been tapped to serve as the ambassador to the United Kingdom, Conair executive Leandro Rizzuto Jr., tapped to serve as the ambassador to the Organization of American States, Charles Kushner, named the ambassador to France, and Tom Barrack, named the ambassador to Turkey.

… The wealth of Trump's current cabinet rivals only that of his first-term cabinet -- which had a combined net worth of $3.2 billion -- and dwarfs the $118 million combined net worth of President Joe Biden's cabinet. …”

Tell me again about Oligarchs?
 
Woody sang about it a long time ago:


The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting
The oranges are filed in their creosote dumps
They're flying 'em back to the Mexico border
To take all their money to wade back again
Goodbye to my Juan, farewell Roselita
Adios mes amigos, Jesus e Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
All they will call you will be deportees

And then there's this little ditty, which hasn't aged well ...
