As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

The president will address the media from one of his Florida golf courses.
Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasn’t already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.
Tell me you don't give a fuck without telling me you don't give a fuck.

Funny how Trump actions work in Putin’s favour 🤔
Rabobank on the unfolding worst case scenario:
Trump is bringing the oil price back to the levels seen during the Ukraine invasion, while also removing the sanctions on Russian oil.
Putin must be ecstatic about being saved this way.
Friends will be friends.

I must start calling him “Krasnov”!!

It will be interesting to watch JD Vance and others who've claimed that Ukraine needs to give in on territory because all wars end in negotiations, rushing to embrace Trump's demand for UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!

"Donald Trump is getting us into the same mess you did, only more costly and even dumber."
