I'm a dual citizen, living in Canada. The exhaustion that ensues when he does the whole cary bluster routine, which cannot be ignored, only to flipflop to a one-month "pause" is, I believe, intentional. All weekend, many of us slept poorly, stressed, agonizing about how we'll change some basic, daily habits in response to Trump's tariffs.

And that is just the tariffs. For the hundreds of USAID projects around the world, lives are on the line. Lives will be lost or harmed. How could it be otherwise if the USAID project helps supply clean drinking water and other basic human needs. This is utter cruelty to people who are already among the most vulnerable. And why? Through some twisted logic, it distracts from the situation in South Africa, of great importance to Peter Thiel and his acolytes, Musk, Vance and others? 90% of farmland there is still owned by whites, with blacks owning about 4%. By trying to redress this inequity, Musk and Trump have spoke either vaguely of how "they're treating people poorly" there or by talking of ethnic cleansing. The problem is, it is not ethnic cleaning, but the knee jerk reaction gets the wanted attention. With Trump and Musk, it is about appearances and distraction while ensuring the greatest wealth for the overprivileged few, in the US and elsewhere. (Sorry for the long comment!)
