The Charade of the past 18 months is over

 Yesterday was Super Tuesday, where many Republicans picked their candidate for the presidency.  If you thought there was suspense, think again, Trup who started with a 3:1 advantage got almost exactly that percentage of total support.  Now, and until November the US political system has shifted to the real elections. 

Of course, the question is will Donald Trump be able to turn it around.  Famously, he is unable to read from the teleprompter, he has a habit of saying almost anything that goes through his head, and his reality is the only one that counts.  As one politician once said, it takes advanced narcissism to run for the highest office, this characteristic is not particular to Americans, it's exactly the same thing here.

As for the Americans each Trump and Biden present challenges, but for foreigners there is no discernable difference between the two.  Both are economic nationalists, fundamentally isolationist, one because he believes it and the other because the only person that is of any importance is him.  Trump will be more forthright, with the abandonment of Nato because he is a huge admirer of Putin.  Biden knows that America's adventurism has always been punished, America doesn't need the world.  

For Americans there is a massive difference between the two; Trump will first seek vengeance against his real and perceived enemies, and further push America's legal system to the far right.  That is now evidently the right's plan.  Biden will be 84, and the reality is that voting for him is likely to mean a vote for Harris his vice president...time will tell.  That analysis is also true for Trump.

In a few days Trump got the Supreme Court to give him his 14th amendment walking papers with a 9-0 vote that he is allowed to be in all ballot papers. for the primaries.  This is of course a double-edged sword since it is entirely possible that the Supreme will vote against his Presidential immunity -- but its too early to tell if he will get away with murder.  

The other dates that are of importance are the two conventions where each Trump and Biden will be confirmed as the pick for their party.  The real race has finally begun for America as the world watches on

The end of Tesla?

 it takes a special kind of idiot, to think that he can antagonize his entire customer base, and think that it will not impact his business. When Elon Musk went to work for Donald Trump, and created the doge department, he antagonized every liberal, and these people represent 90% of his client base.That’s not a brilliant move. Now Elon Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollar, so he shouldn’t care a great deal, however, he needs to care because of several other issues. The cyber truck has been a disaster, most have had to be recalled because of defective glue, it’s not a truck, it’s not a car, it’s noisy, relatively uncomfortable, but great as a development platform. What Tesla has learned in making car manufacturing more seamless is truly amazing. The problem was that Elon Musk was so pissed with the Democrats, and with Joe Biden, in particular because of some slight, which were just plain stupid too. By the way, that he decided to support with hundreds of millions of dollar, ...

Donald Trump‘s bad bargain

 The entire of 2023 and 2024 when Donald Trump was running for the White House, his mantra was no war, that the Ukraine conflict would be resolved in a day, and that he would do everything not to involve America and war. How the world has changed! He finds himself facing three conflicts; Ukraine, still going on almost 5 months after he became president. Gaza, an unspeakable crime against humanity, is obviously going to go all the way to its bitter end. And finally, Israel’s attack against Iran. It’s important to note, that Benjamin Netanyahu first indicated at the United nation that the Iranian were 3 to 5 years away from having the nuclear bomb. He made that statement in 1995. Therefore, no one is surprised that he uses the same two lines every so often. It’s entirely possible, that 30 years after he first announced it, that Iran has finally developed the bomb. It’s also remarkable that Iran, local power has been destroyed, from Yemen, to Syria, via Lebanon and Gaza to small exten...

TACO again, but worst!

 Donald Trump got the rare earth metals that he had thrown away on April 2, liberation day as he called it. What did the Chinese get in exchange? The whole deal, is on the wrap right now. But let’s be clear. It’s the Chinese that have the upper hand.Some of the materials made by the Chinese, are simply unavailable anywhere else. suspicions are that the Chinese got the high-end chips that they lost under Biden. Tariffs will probably return to the level of April 1, and in the end Donald and his friends got nothing for it. It gets worse, Chinese exports to United States are down 40%. The Chinese have found new markets, I probably never gonna buy American grain again. Once again, Donald Trump proved he’s a great negotiator. He got absolutely nothing for his Showmanship. He told the world, that everyone would come and kiss his ass, instead they’re laughing At him. There’s no joke about Donald Trump, a 25 and inherited a huge fortune and proceeded to make it a small one. Bottom line, the...
