Along the way he managed to call the prime minister of Denmark - a key Nato ally - “nasty” for refusing to discuss selling him Greenland, and approvingly retweeted a description of himself as “King of Israel” and “the second coming of God”, adding: “Wow!” He also:
Unveiled new rules that allow the US government to detain migrant families indefinitely while their asylum cases are judged
Blamed Barack Obama for his own family separation policy
Boasted about how much he was loved by survivors of mass shootings
Insisted that the second amendment, guaranteeing gun ownership, would “stay strong”
Said Russian president Vladimir Putin had “made a living” of outsmarting Obama
Railed against the “fake news’, singling out NBS, the New York Times and CNN
Touted a private drug for preventing suicide
and threatened to release European ISIS prisoners back into their own countries.
Mr Trump also addressed the state of the economy, insisting it was in good shape and in no danger of falling into recession. And he defended his trade war with China, suggesting he had the backing of a higher power.
Looking up to the sky, with his palms open, he said: “I am the chosen one!
He once again attacked the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, summoning up a film reference as he said he had raised interest rates “too fast, too furious”.
And he pushed back on the idea of a payroll tax cut, which he said only yesterday had been under discussion. “I’m not looking at a tax cut right now. We don’t need it. We have a strong economy.”
Unhinged doesn't quite cover it, somehow...

His mind sounds on par with a poster here who has an unwarranted air of superiority.
Trump is also clearly delusional and it’s a concern given he has the launch codes.
Spitting image would have a field day with this.

It's going to be pretty difficult to cause an Islamic uprising there or carry out regime change so .... they might just have to pay the going rate for it.

With his “blonde hair” he will claim lineage back to me and claim it on ancestral grounds.
But he will have to authenticate that by naming part of eastern seaboard Vinlandia.

It's gibberish but in essence true.
The Chinese are the thieving magpies of IP - they will get their hands on a product, be it patented or not, and copy and market it PDQ.
When working for Maxview Ltd a few years ago our mechanical engineer produced a new and innovative design for a fold-flat TV set-top aerial. We sent the first ones to B+Q to go on sale. 2 Weeks later he went to a trade show in China - his aerial (or rather a pretty perfect copy) was on 3 stalls...
It was this one
