Hard to see how people can still complain about Trump. Within the space of a few days he's U-turned on China, the Fed and NATO. Add to that he's bombed some brown people and played numerous rounds of golf.

Basically the same as every recent president that's come before him.

Trump seemed to represent a much-needed change.

I'm not condemning him just yet but it seems he might be going soft...

Soft? Perhaps not.

Gaga - definitely. Gawd help us- and the Iraquis- or the Syrians perhaps

Anybody who believes the promises of a compulsive liar will sooner or later face disappointment

It does sound like a pretty mean choc cake. Apparently Xi was all over it.

Trump taking the opportunity to market his country club deserts; pretty soon they will be available in boxes for on line orders!

The article mentioned standards had declined since Trump no longer has time to make regular checks-

Soft? He's very tense, I reckon..

Wasn't his whole platform (and by association the fact that he won the election) that he wasn't going to be like every recent president?

Well, yesterday he dropped the MOAB...



(It is the biggest non-nuclear bomb that exists... so far...)

Seems they want to send North Korea a message that they can destroy their missile program with out having to drop the big one and saying within the bounds of the Geneva convention.

So far Trump has proved all the naysayers of the previous democratic government wrong. He is ramping up military and conflict in the world. So all those who accused Obama and Hillary of heavy handed bombing and covert militarism and involvement in the many ongoing global conflicts well they were at least being a bit subtler about it.

Honestly I think the sh*t is hitting the fan now, we have conflict upon conflict, being ramped up by America, Russia, China and North Korea and then a total cluster of proxy wars being funded and fought by smaller but no less aggressive actors in Africa and the Middle East and Asia.

If we aren't actually being told so, I could easily believe we have slipped unwittingly into WWIII. In no small part, thanks to the electorate in the US and the UK and because of the Internet.

I just hope they dont start throwing nukes everywhere... If they want to fight, let them fight but old school, WWII style, no under the desks dropping nukes and ruining the world

Putin, Trump and Jong-Un are all lunatics, I wouldn't put anything past any of them. If they want to fight we need to stop them, these are not wars about anything other then small pen1s complexes.

The MOAB blast radius is a few hundred meters less then the Hiroshima Bomb, so almost as devastating with out the radioactive fallout, but a pin prick compared to modern nuclear warheads.

Just remembered! Gotta pay my tax bill!

Somebody has to pay for that 16 million dollars of warhead I think it works out around 400'000 dollars per head killed. I guess there is going to be a little section of picket fence instead of a wall somewhere along the Mex/US border.

There is nothing brave or 'hard' about dropping bombs in the ME.

Standing up to those in the US who constantly push for war and saying no, we are going to put the American citizens interests first before rushing off to ''save'' other countries, now that takes a bit of grit.

Unfortunately the Russians have a much bigger non nuclear weapon, FOAB,

Yup. Disappointing, isn't it?

I wouldn't use the term "disappointing", to be disappointed one would have had to have hoped or believed that he would actually do what he claimed he would during the election.

For me personally "unsurprising" would be more apt.

If dropping the MOAB is indication that he might be going soft, I wouldn't like to see him when he's mad.

I always interpreted your stance on Trump as being that you embrace chaos. Seeing as we're now tiptoeing on the edge of the ultimate chaos thanks, in some part, to his actions, why are you disappointed? I totally get the "bombing brown people" point that you've made a few times.
