No horses were harmed in the negotiations. In the world beyond Colonel Roosevelt is nodding and shouting “Bully!”

Any control taken away from China is always a good thing…Trump didn’t even need to try…just goes to show how weak the previous administration was.

“The jackals, hyenas, they’re barking at him, laughing at him. They nip his toes and eat the food that’s in his domain. They do this and they get closer and closer and bolder and bolder, till one day…that lion gets up and tears the shit outta everybody, runs like the wind, eats everything in his path, ’cause every once in a while, the lion has to show the jackals who he is.” – Christopher Walken

A very senior official in the new Trump admin who’s a history savant told me this week something that had me nodding in emphatic agreement:
’What NATO doesn’t understand is that Americans don’t really care what you do.
•Underspend for years.
•Refuse to let our ships dock.
•Protest our aid to Israel.
•Laugh at our ‘bad habits.’
•Demand we give more to Ukraine.
•Boo our national anthem.
•Call us racists. Call our President a tyrant. Say we’re fat and lazy.
Americans just roll their eyes. Sometimes we shrug for decades. We don’t care what they do or say.
That is—until we do.
Then we collectively snap, get pissed off overnight and all hell breaks loose.
NATO, Canada, and the rest are rapidly approaching that point. When it happens, there won’t be much Trump—or anyone else—can do to calm us down.
That’s just how America works. That’s the American psyche. And NATO is pushing us dangerously close to the tipping point.
Think it helps when your Secretary of State is named Rubio, and the cordial discussion in Spanish.
Vámonos China, Vámonos….
The deal is more important to him than the fight, but he will fight. It’s just he would rather do the deal. At heart he is a dealmaker not a fighter.
