agreed its not like the cold war. Its a situation where a small country is trying to survive by making entry into the MAD club. The problem is these weapons are real and you dont make it into the MAD club by only bluffing, you get in by being a legitimate threat, like the cuban crisis proved. Now still, before NK wasnt much of a threat, but now we have a president who unironically thinks the issue is trivial and worth escalating through fucking tweets, while at the same time, NK is making steady progress toward actually being a threat. Think about the grand context of the entire NK situation, and think about how absolutely absurd and reckless it is to risk escalation by way of dumb ass tweets. Dont lump me into the huffpo camp where nuclear annihilation is only days away, I am this concerned because even one bomb dropped as a result of the ignorant mishandling of this type of situation would be one of the stupidest and most destructive things to happen in human history.

In the worst case scenario, the greater US population will have to confront the fact that we murdered tons of North Korean civilians in the Korean war and that their hatred for us isn't entirely unjustified -- but the US the pretty good at ignoring the innocent civilians we murder, so that probably won't happen.

It doesen't hurt him to appear dumb. Remember Bush?

What impact did that have on his presidency, I mean, his ability to hold office and exercise his powers as president, and not "you're not allowed to laugh at daddy points." If anything it neutralizes the opposition from taking political action in exchange for cheap laughs.

I love how the most pretentious head-stuck-up-their-ass dumbasses are so proud and sure of themselves. I don't like Trump as a president at all, but you have to be a 19-year-old girl who frequents Tumblr to fall for Trump's shtick.

Watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAgJAxkALyc

It's obvious he has a greater intellectual capacity than he shows himself to has and is capable of eloquence and critical thought. His whole persona as some man-of-the-people, straight-talking aggressive anti-PC is mostly made to keep playing into a group of dumb conservative American voters who'll fall for it, and also to enrage PC-idiots, thus further making these conservatives more sympathetic for him the more the leftist media keeps taking easy shots on him. They're literally playing right into his hands.

Again, I don't like Trump, I think he's a cynical and somewhat dangerous man, but he's obviously much more calculating and intelligent than he shows himself to be.

Trump is better understood as an hyperreal dotard-feedback loop fuelled by cable news. It's futile to try and evaluate him as a statesman, because Trump is not a statesman, he's something different. There's something very Nietszchean about Trump, check out his review of Citizen Kane, he barely understands the movie and yet is ready to live it over and over again in a sort of Eternal Return. He's probably the loneliest president in America's history, but that's another story.

How is it at all obvious? While it’s not apparent in the top line poll numbers, his base is cooling on him. His approve has been stable (and bad) but polls which measure how enthusiastically they approve has consistently seen a cooling from even his hardcore fans.

You know what else has the apperence of ‘making the media play right into his hands’? An angry old man, struggling with the early effects of dementia, one who doesn’t really want to be president and spends his time watching cable news and angrily tweeting about stuff he doesn’t like. There is no reason to think he’s playing some sort of Art of War ‘make them think you are weak when you are strong’ game.

That North Korea tweet doesn’t ‘outrage PCs, and endears him to conservatives’, it’s even making conservatives very nervous, and it’s going to have huge consequences for all the republicans who are seen as not doing anything to check him.

Back during the election everybody knew that he was only running as a marketing ploy, trying to boost his brand, and we all saw how horrified he looked on election night. But after he was elected everybody seemed to forget that, and stopping reading his actions in that light. The man never wanted to be president, he’s not clever, just in way over his head and struggling to deal with where he’s found himself.

He still seems sharp, just playing a much more bombastic, aggressive role because that's how he started his campaign and if he turned back now he'd look weak-willed and it'd be useless.

Also this >>10493096
I don't much like Trump, but his, uh, "strategy" is pretty impressive, the guy pretty much revels in his own invincibility and bombast.

I absolutely agree he sounds at least articulate and indeed sometimes eloquent back in his prime, and that’s a big part of why I’m saying it’s dementia. The moment I think is really tell was that press conference he did shortly after Flynn was fired, I think that moment was the biggest insight we had because he had no control of what was going to be said to him and he just had to respond to the questions given. He was a disaster there, immensely inarticulate, what a lot of reporters accurately called ‘unhinged’.

He doesn’t sound sharp at all, except when he’s reading off a script written by his team, and that only highlights for me how degenerated he has become.

>>10493096
You misunderstand me then. Where am I predicting an immediate fall? Trump’s not going anywhere. He will serve his four years or die trying. The democrats will never have the numerical strength to unseat him, and I don’t see a world where he becomes so much of a liability to the republicans that they do something as drastic as an impeachment. Republicans have already successfully muddied the water enough on the Russia probe that the worst case scenario could come back and most republicans would feel safe in ignoring it. I agree that asides for the will of god stopping his heart, he will continue to serve.

It's also a matter of him talking on subjects that he doesn't know so well, and he's generally talking around the point, not making promises/commitments he hasn't cleared out ahead of time

It must be quite tiresome to remember what you are allowed or not allowed to talk about

So many fags hating on Trump while he's passing a huge tax plan, reducing regulations at a record rate and making defining presidential positions that will put him in the history books.
He's surrounded by people who are making huge plays behind the scenes and everyone is still foaming at the mouth waiting for the next tweet. Even if you hate his policy you have to respect his administration's effectiveness and quality of work. Compare him to Obama who was in a similar position in '08 it's just sad, watch Tillerson and Mnuchin, those are the major players right now.

At least 60% of it’ll be fabricated. Wolff has a reputation for exaggeration.

That being said, it’ll probably be more accurate than Ed Klein’s trash. You know, the guy who said Bill and Hillary Clinton “politically outmanuevered” President Obama; who ended his career as a “lame duck”, an amateur to be forgotten. The guy who said the restaurant named “Le jardin du Roi” was owned by a guy named Roi.

I love stupid muckraking shit like this though.

A decent chunk of it'll be true, crazy shit about Trump. It'll likely be overshadowed by whatever exaggerations/sensationalism, and the right's outrage over it. The most fucked up thing about this whole situation is that the book's basically saying "Trump's unstable, likely unfit for office" and his supporters will go "Yeah, but he didn't do [x falsehood in book]"

As a Catholic I long for the crippling and neutering of America. This disgusting country, high on materialism, positivism, and capitalism, has been an active foe of Jesus Christ for nearly its entire existence on the Earth. I long for the downfall of Protestant and atheist America, so that Our Lady of Guadalupe may take her rightful place as empress of both the American continents.

Christianity does not teach that people have an immutable aspect of their being which governs which sex a person is attracted to. A person's actions and being are not conflated, thus the condemnation of an action or an inclination is not the condemnation of a person.

>he appears to be an idiot and acts more or less exactly like a poorly disciplined child

Banks have already showns to be responsible economic agents and will never abuse a deregulated financial landscape only to chase short term profit.
Also with highly competent advisor such ex-Goldman Sachs Mnuchin, you can bet this administration has Average Joe as his main concern, especially since he got a staggering 26% of the 1 bln campaign funding from him.

Yeah except MAD doesn't guarantee nuclear conflict won't happen. Nuclear powers have their arsenal ready to deploy in a very short amount of time so as to deter a first-strike. This means misunderstandings and errors can quickly compound on each other until there's a nuclear launch, which will in turn lead to all out nuclear war. A soviet submarine very nearly launched its nuclear weapons during the Cuban Missile Crisis because they mistakenly thought war had already broken out (and they only didn't because ONE of the three officers on board veto'd it).

He has some decent political instincts (realizing that much of the polling and consultant class is a scam being one example) but he's also a very dumb and ignorant person. I don't think his persona is a put-on at all or that he's particularly cynical (he's just incoherent and doesn't really have any convictions or interests outside of his own ego) but rather that his personality and position happened to be right for the political climate of the time.
