Trump threatens to block opening of bridge from Canada to Michigan.

@ArishMell
A new report from the New York Times says the billionaire owner of the Ambassador Bridge met with the White House hours before President Trump threatened to block the opening of a new publicly owned bridge between Detroit and Canada. Seems like Trump is using leverage in his art of the deal. He holds the cards as US President.

@sree251 The whole idea of the worlds reserve currency is based on the notion that America and its dollar can be absolutely trusted. But your answer is quite correct. America twists and breaks promises all the time. Just openly and more blatently under Trump. And that leads nicely into my point that the world is turning its back on America, and on its dollar.They would rather deal with China. Its not that China has suddenly become the Emerald city. This is purely a measure of the cesspit America has become in international relations and trade.
You claim no one is fooling Trump? It is the rest of the world that is walking away while China watches and happily takes the global trade crown, which Trump pawned.. The only people Trump is fooling are Americans. If you dont see that, then you are vision impaired..😷

Sure, as long as we can afford to play the game as the gang running the casino.


Openly is right. What makes Trump obnoxious to us is that he doesn't give a damn about putting on appearances. He is what Jesus loves about children: their innocence. Trump is truthful in his spontaneous knee jerk responses. I would rather recoil at what Trump does and say than to be sickened by the lies of Ursula von der leyen, mother superior of the EU.


America is the most powerful economy and its dynamism is mind-boggling. This is what Jamie Dimon of Chase Bank said. He isn't concerned about China beating us anytime soon. Despite the fact of our national debt, our selfish, crooked politicians hijacked by self-interest, our culture of credit card borrowings, I am amazed at the energy of cars and trucks speeding down our highways. We may all be heading for the cliff but until then, we are sure moving at a pace no slower than China's. And we are a society open to the best and the brightest who want to come to America. The Chinese may not stupid but they can never beat the best in the world.


We Americans are an obnoxious lot to the rest of the world. Trump also stink but only to the western world mired in a dead ideology. Trump could step over into North Korea. I have a strong feeling he is going to do another step-over, when he makes his state visit to China in April. Trump is a businessman. Money talks and it has no principles. Just like Trump. China, economically, is a good fit for the USA. Only Trump can cut through the think tank bullshit that views China as a threat. American business has been doing well in China since 1970.

@sree251 Clearly we are not going to agree. From your perspective, Trumps actions and attitudes are justifiable. Maybe inside America, if thats who you truly are, you are right. But in a global situation, with a population of around nine billion, your ageing, declining, non self sustaining population of about three hundred million is going to fade away into the background in a generation or two. The numbers dont lie..
You be careful out there..😷
