And the GOP just remains mum.

Hey Congress, aren't you in charge of the pocketbook?
They have relinquished/delegated whatever you want to call it to Trump and his goons. WTF? I’m not surprised most of the Republican Party is spineless and the rest are morons, and then you have the yes men.
 
I can't decide if this is "peace through strength" or "diplomacy through idiocy" but I guess I'll give props for now even though I know it's basically been bullshit political theater all along. I think Trump is an unimaginable moron but I like and cheer for our country and it's success far more than I hate Donald Trump, so whatever keeps the train on the tracks, I reckon.
 
421.6 billion dollars says that Trump will continue to allow Elon Musk to do as he pleases.
Maybe. But Trump is almost certainly not going to run for office again and even if he does, he can win without elon's money.

Would not be shocked if Trump is hoping that Elon buys truth social and makes him just a bit richer.

Peace through strength generally applies to military strength in dealings with adversaries, not economic bullying of allies.
Oh yeah I know, but we aren't in normal times or under a normal presidency so I reckon we'll have to grade on a massive curve.

Mainly I'm just trying to look on the bright side as best as is possible.

Props for what?

What has been accomplished?
 
I can't imagine how frustrating and humiliating it has to be for these other leaders to have to publicly kiss the ring - knowing nothing material is really changing - just to avoid a trade war and possible recession for their countries.
 

I guess we will wait and see what they treat as a threat, but “impedes” can mean a lot of things …
 
Several of us said that we don't like tariffs but Trump was simply using them as leverage in negotiations. Well, that's exactly what happened. They never went into effect and we have 30 days to negotiate an even better deal(s). We can disagree who got the better "deal" but the point is the tariffs were just the club.

Yeah, it's probably frustrating being an ally/neighbor of Trump's USA but we'll get their assist for securing both borders. See, you don't need a big "border deal" to secure the border. You can secure it simply using your Executive powers and foreign policy diplomacy.
