Trump predictions, place your bets

Trump will continue, in his naked transparency, being a whiny little bitch. An emotionally stunted, immature, needy, whiny little bitch.

A real, secure man, even if as guilty as Trump and as lacking in shame, would power on without all the tween-grade histrionics. A crook with charm one might have some admiration for. The whiny little bitch type is beneath contempt.

Trump will make such a disastrous statement, or take such an outrageous action, that everyone finally sees he is unfit for the presidency.

Again.

And just like the countless last times, the 40% will continue to blindly support him anyhow.

I knew Trump would back down on the Mexico tariff threats. He predictably was looking for attention. As soon as he isn't the top headline he looks for another attention getting tactic. Cue the threat of tariffs on all of Mexican goods.

Tariffs on Mexico was a bad idea, the GOP legislators knew it and let Trump know. Surprise, Trump claims victory and backs down.

Anyone care to make the next prediction?

Mexico complied with his demands so why should he impost those Tariffs?

Time: Mexico Did Not Agree to Agricultural Deal Touted by President Trump, Officials Say
President Donald Trump doubled down on his boast of “large” agricultural sales to Mexico as part of a deal on border security and illegal immigration that averted the threat of U.S. tariffs. But the deal as released had none, and three Mexican officials said they’re not aware of any side accord.

Trump told his 61 million Twitter followers in an all-caps message on Saturday that Mexico had agreed to “immediately begin buying large quantities of agricultural product from our great patriot farmers.” He repeated the tweet shortly after midnight Sunday in Washington....

NYT Mexico Agreed to Take Border Actions Months Before Trump Announced Tariff Deal
WASHINGTON — The deal to avert tariffs that President Trump announced with great fanfare on Friday night consists largely of actions that Mexico had already promised to take in prior discussions with the United States over the past several months, according to officials from both countries who are familiar with the negotiations.

Friday’s joint declaration says Mexico agreed to the “deployment of its National Guard throughout Mexico, giving priority to its southern border.” But the Mexican government had already pledged to do that in March during secret talks in Miami between Kirstjen Nielsen, then the secretary of homeland security, and Olga Sanchez, the Mexican secretary of the interior, the officials said.

The centerpiece of Mr. Trump’s deal was an expansion of a program to allow asylum-seekers to remain in Mexico while their legal cases proceed. But that arrangement was reached in December in a pair of painstakingly negotiated diplomatic notes that the two countries exchanged. Ms. Nielsen announced the Migrant Protection Protocols during a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee five days before Christmas.

And over the past week, negotiators failed to persuade Mexico to accept a “safe third country” treaty that would have given the United States the legal ability to reject asylum seekers if they had not sought refuge in Mexico first.

Anything that threatens his personal ego will be met with immature name-calling and threats. Anything NOT threatening his ego that he remembers will be called "amazing" and "beautiful". He will lie his arse off about everything to do with himself to make himself look good. He will tweet and tweet and tweet, and golf and golf and golf, rather than actually be president.

After today's tweet-storm, I've scored two hits. ;)
 
If not tied down soon with impeachment proceedings, political calculus will indicate war with Iran as the surest bet for reelection, even if by a squeaker.

This afternoon I noticed there were not one, but two ammunition ships at the local weapons depot. I think that happened in early 2003 as well.

Mexico was "complying with his demands" for months before he even mentioned tariffs. He doesn't need a reason to start threatening tariffs, it's his go-to play when he has no other idea how to do anything.

Problem>Tariff>Solution.

That's my prediction. No matter what issue he's confronting internationally, he'll threaten a tariff at some point, and then credit that threat with solving the problem, without regard for any other work that may have gone into the solution.

It's been one of the themes of his entire presidency. Trump has no patience for "process", for career diplomats working at lower levels to make serious, mature decisions about how to resolve issues. He wants the Dramatic Confrontation between the Major Players that forces one of them to Capitulate and agree to the Big Deal, the Deal that fixes everything and lets him declare a National Holiday.

Which is exactly what his fans want, a strongman who just bullies other countries into doing his bidding. Boring diplomacy is for liberulz.

Sure the occasional FoxNews criticism will upset him a bit, but pressure?

A lot of it is self-generated but yes, I think he feels pressure. If nothing else than to keep seeking audiences that adore him.
 
The PDJT will punch back at Fox News host Laura Ingraham for calling him out on a lie about his holding up a D-Day ceremony by doing an interview with her.

"I never liked her. Everyone else at that network is great but I never liked her."
