His threat was directed at countries in the so-called BRIC alliance, which consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates.

    Something I think Trump is great at is pointing at other factors for why things would be bad. For instance he will point to the imigration and other thing instead of his own actions. I fucking hate this guy but I have to admit he is good at what he is doing and that is lying.

      Mostly because even the mainstream media will never call him out on it. There’s never been a headline like ‘Trump lies about ___’, despite him constantly, knowingly lying.

        That is not really true. Also if the news would have to constantly say he was lying (which they do) then thry would use all there time on it because he lies constantly.

          ‘They’re Eating the Cats’: Trump Repeats False Claim About Immigrants

          Not ‘lies about immigrants’, it’s ‘repeats false claims’, implying that he has no agency or responsibility when he does this, just the same passive voice reserved for officer involved shootings and spontaneous explosions in Gaza.

          They never dare to use ‘lie’. If you’re going to write the article anyway, call things what they are.

            Of course they don’t, otherwise they get sued, then the onus is on them to prove that Trump knew it was false at the time he said it.

            Good luck proving that.
