If Trump had any imagination whatsoever he'd float Greenland Bonds as a proposal to finance a Greenland purchase


 

Instead it's just negative waves all the time. 

 
Trump could propose a purchase to Denmark, and finance it with Greenland Bonds paying 5-6% over thirty years. Insurance companies and lotteries would love it.
 
But No, all he wants to do is punish, punish, punish. 

Look at those UST yields pop

 


CNN poll finds Americans by 2 to 1 think the economy, not immigration, is the number one issue, and 55% say Trump isn't just failing but is making it worse

Trump job approval in Real Clear Politics average falls to new second term low 42.1%

 If Trump wants to lose the US House even bigger than he's going to, he should by all means double down, add fuel to the flames, and invoke the Insurrection Act in Minneapolis.

Donald Trump says, When you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election


 

When you think of it, he shouldn't even be president one minute longer. 

 

... “It's some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms,” Trump said. He boasted that he had accomplished so much that “when you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election.”

Some of the commenters on this video snarl over the absence of such protests in Minnesota over the $9 billion fraud schemes, not realizing that this street theatre is costing them $75 billion

The ICE agents in this video twice fail to find open doors on their own vehicles to dump their detainees in, the incompetence being a metaphor for the ultimate failure all this sound and fury will turn out to be, when in the end ICE will be lucky to have deported only 2.4 million of the now 25 million illegal aliens Trump says are present in the United States.

The rapidity with which one man has turned the relatively quiet streets of America into a heretofore only imagined police state exposes yet another failure of the American system of government to prevent the abuse of power.

If it were not so, this would not be happening.
