Not really.

Owe the bank $1,000,000, the bank owns you.

Owe the bank $1,000,000,000, you own the bank.

Well, corporations get tax cuts with no 'sunset date', Donny wants to help save jobs in China, and Americans get tax cuts with an expiration date. I think he's made up his mind that the American people are hardly his first priority.

Now, I realize that Trump has to keep it at 140 characters at a time for his Base, but no, Tweets are not how America communicates.

Don't worry - at the exact same time Trump is demanding forgiveness of ZTE, his admin is pushing to punish our European allies.

"Trump adviser says US could sanction European allies if they continue nuclear deal with Iran"

My guess is that China has been forcing north Korea to the table for a while and they will use the peace talks to get the DoC sanctions dropped.

What does that have to do with imposing bans as a result of a company selling American technology to North Korea and Iran?

I thought Iran was the bad guy, or is that only when Bolton wants to invade and not when American technology is being sold to them?

Are we cool with North Korea now? I know Trump was threatening nuclear war mere months ago, but lately Trump is heaping praise on Kim Jong Un.

There was no point to it. There is little or no point to any trump 'policies.' They are shoot from the hip, think about it after the Law of Unintended Consequences kicks him in his arse.

No way to run a country. Other nations cannot trust us when we act like this.
