China and the USA are biting chunks out of each other, raising the ante over tariffs. Incredible as it seems, China is the honest actor, by being basically rational and genuinely the victim in this battle.
It’s worth looking at what else is happening in the land of fantasy economics. President Bonespurs wants a strong military, and is planning a Pentagon budget of $1trillion. Maybe they’ve saved enough money from social security and destroying the health system to pay for this.
Savings from USAID will definitely cover the network of “detention centers” that they want to build around the country, in order to process “immigrants” or whoever else crosses their path.
There are plans for a large military parade through Washington to honour the president on his birthday. The timetable is a bit tight though. Maybe they will get it done in time.
Of course, the money wasn’t allocated for any of these things, but Congress doesn’t seem to mind. They aren’t doing anything to stop it at any rate.
Getting away from the money, there is one positive thing for us Germans – we don’t need to worry about any guilt about the shoah anymore. At least not according to the Leader of the Free World, who talked about the generous and kind treatment that the Jews received from the nazis. Netanyahu was sitting next to him. Unlike Zelensky – who answered back – Bibi just took it. Disgraceful.
