The extra investments pledged under the trade deal would come from private companies, which Brussels conceded it has no power to control.
After the trump admin said it had “secured” 600B from Japan when the finance minister that negotiated it himself said nothing was finalized I knew the EU deal was also likely mostly hot air.
which Brussels conceded it has no power to control
Bullshit, you just said a quiet part out loud and now you’re trying to sweep it back under the rug but you absolutely have soft and hard powers to incentivize these companies to do what you want, you just don’t want to admit it because you’ll face uncomfortable questions about why you never seem to pressure these companies into serving the general public and this kind of thing only happens when rich people’s yacht money is at stake
Trump is a snake oil salesman, and the bogus product he sells is himself.
He is the clown they put in front to distract from the truly dark shit the actual rulers are doing behind the loosely drawn curtains.
Project 2025 is HALFWAY DONE, btw. In five months.
Yes.
He’s not just a clown though. He’s an emotionally stunted, psychopathic, delusional narcissist who happens to be mentally ill in a particular way that leads to him generally making just the sort of demands they need to complete their goals.
For instance, they want to be able to arrest anyone at any time in order to shield themselves from criticism and opposition. Trump also wants to be able to arrest anyone at any time, but for him it’s because he’s a racist piece of shit and a thin-skinned crybaby who wants to hurt people who say mean things about him. So they can sit back while he does all the work to make it possible to arrest anyone at any time, then reap the rewards.
And since he’s a delusionsl narcissist and has not just the emotionsl development but the attention span of a child, any time he’s not quite on track, all it takes is for somebody to whisper the right words to him, and off he goes.
But yes.
Makes no odds. He is only after headlines anyway.
