Trump turning China’s yuan into world’s next safe haven

As Trump batters the Fed, dollar and US credibility, China’s yuan bonds are slowly but surely filling the safe-haven void  

Trump - US Reputation

Trump himself has hurt the US more than the Soviets, the Chinese, Free Trade, Antifa, The Vietnam war,  the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, etc...

MAGA my ass. Fucking idiots. 

Miscellanea: The War in Iran

But the United States is likewise going to bear diplomatic costs here. Right now the Gulf States have to shelter against Iranian attack but when the dust settles they – and many other countries – will remember that the United States unilaterally initiated by surprise a war of choice which set off severe global economic headwinds and uncertainty. Coming hot on the heels of the continuing drama around tariffs, the takeaway in many places may well be ‘Uncle Sam wants you to be poor,’ which is quite a damaging thing for diplomacy. And as President Trump was finding out when he called for help in the Strait of Hormuz and got told ‘no’ by all of our traditional allies, it is in fact no fun at all to be diplomatically isolated, no matter how powerful you are.

Trump is such a dick.

The world has realized that standing up to Trump works. 

Now if only Republicans would.

Fox Propaganda

Around the world the war and spiking energy prices top the news but not at the Fox Propaganda network. Here's what they think is the top news story.

 

 

CNN Misinformation

It would have been nice to see some corporate media articles about this over the last 20 years instead of the constant drumbeat of "Iran is just two weeks away from a bomb". 

Cornered and wounded, will Iran now go for a nuclear bomb? 

 When Iran’s covert nuclear program came to international attention over two decades ago, Tehran insisted that its intentions were peaceful and that it had no plans to develop weapons.

The country’s then-supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, even went as far as issuing a fatwa, or legal ruling under Islamic law, banning them.

But his death at the hands of the United States and Israel last month could clear a path for the regime’s hardest-line factions to rethink the ruling. The public discourse in Iran is already heading that way.  

Trump Says ...

Trump delays strikes on Iran’s power plants by 10 days, says talks ‘going very well’

or maybe... "Hitler says Stalingrad going very well" 

Trump Media

The Middle East is in flames. US marines heading that way. Oil prices rising. Gas and diesel prices up. Overall inflation Up. 

All other major world news has WAR at the top. 

So what is the Fox main Headline today. 

Fuck Fox News.

Trump's ICE

Trump plans to send ICE agents to airports to handle security from MONDAY amid government shutdown that's become a nightmare for spring break passengers

This probably won't happen as it sounds like normal Trump bullshit bluster.

But it what if it does?

It points out one of the big issues with ICE. Who really controls them? Are they Trumps private army? If so then they seem very dangerous, very SS in the NAZI way. 

I mean could Trump send them to the NY Times because he didn't like an article? Apple because he doesn't want them importing from a certain country? Could he send them to gas stations in a big city to force lower prices? Could he send them to arrest a governor?

I don't know but ICE would be a lot less threatening to the people of the US if they 

• couldn't wear masks.
• had to wear identifying clothing. 
• were held accountable when they fuck up. 
• Had to answer to Congress or each state rather than being thrown around like they the Village Idiots own personal army. 

 Fuck Trump!
