I too could look like a big spender if I borrowed to the max and spent to make it look like things were better than reality.
Tweety’s life has followed a pattern and it continues in his political life.

More sarcasm from one who calls others sarcastic.

ABC News has confirmed that attendees to Trump WH Rally were paid.
Pretty bad when you have to pay to get a audience

Love has it’s price
Bottom line: after four years of “Fire and Fury” and “We fell in love”, North Korea has more nuclear weapons and a more advanced ballistic missile program.

It was a near impossible mission. Kim Il Sung has only power and potential nukes between him and a Ceausescu type execution. His people would kill him if they could. He ain't giving up his power. He ain't giving up his nukes, or at least the always imminent threat that he's about to have them.

Trump had a reasonable idea which pertains to rational people who are willing to make deals that are win-win. But the current dictators in NK and China are in the precarious positions of losing everything including their lives if they give up their power and democratize their countries. China's dictators have no intention of making fair trade deals because they would require ceding too much power to their own people to create the competitive capitalistic workforce and businesses to generate the wealth to compete in the Western marketplace and the growing capitalism in the Pacific Rim. The CCP requires an actual slave labor force and coercive economic relations with struggling nations who are willing to be seduced into the Belt and Road initiative as well as the theft of Western tech intellectual property and the ability to sell cheaply to others while it puts barriers to those others from significantly penetrating the Chinese market.

The old notion beginning with Nixon that Trading with China would eventually make it a Westernized capitalistic free market economy with democratized governments has proven a pipe dream because the CCP leaders have too much invested, including their lives, in holding dictatorial power over their people, and in becoming militarily strong enough to threaten anybody from toppling them.

And they conveniently spread this strange virus into the rest of the world just as Trump was pushing their economy to the brink of destruction.

Trump is no longer singing the praises of Xi.

Trump thinks he's competing with him and wants to flash his negotiating brilliance, while previous Presidents knew they were ABOVE him and could dictate terms or let North Korea suffer the consequences. Kim's now emboldened by the promotion of the Trump Org.

Decided for my next chain saw carving I’d attempt a portrait of Trump, I think it captured his essence don’t you?

Yeah, those previous Presidents really did a bang-up job of dictating to NK--sarc (for Got Strippers).
