FRANCE 24’s Sharon Gaffney speaks to Scott Lucas, professor of US and International Politics at the Clinton Institute at University College Dublin, about the tariffs unveiled by Donald Trump. He says that Trump’s announcement on tariffs was filled with lies and distortions and it was the ‘dumbest and most economically illiterate speech I have ever heard’. #Trump #trade #tariffs

    There’s a lot of stupidity to point out with Trump, but I found myself focused on the pens.

    It was my understanding, and perhaps I’ve gotten it wrong, that the reason there are a pile of pens there is so that the president can use all of them, using one for each letter in the name, one to cross the T, etc. Then give them out to a bunch of supporters so that they can each have a pen that was used to sign the law, executive order, or whatever other bullshit this moron puts his name on.

    While I can’t imagine why anyone would want a pen this shithead put his tiny little hand on to sign something, I am really baffled as to why they would want a pen that happened to be in a box with a bunch of other pens, one of which was used to sign something.

    Lazy fuck can’t even put the most basic effort into doing something for his most brain-dead, sycophantic followers.
