he’s living in an 1890s bubble that no one around him is willing to puncture

I think this is a Simpson's reference. Trump is literally Mr Burns confirmed.

People somehow still think Trump is an expert businessman who actually has a plan. If you assume that, it becomes plausible that this is a negotiating ploy, talking tough to get concessions out of other countries.

The market may question the extent to which a sufficiently structured planning process for major economic decisions is taking place," Saravelos said.

This is a joke, right? There very clearly is no planning process at all other than Cheeto Benito's unhinged whims.

The bar is on the absolute floor, but I'll take it. Better than that one guy who said he didn't regret his vote after ICE got his wife.

Silver lining, the fact that the child of such a terrible person can turn out okay gives me some hope.

Good thing the Democrats already gave up all their leverage for the next six months, or else they might be expected to do something to capitalize on this.

Elon truly is a genius businessman. Letting him run the government is clearly a great idea.

I'm not a fan of the US military, but as a supporter of LGBT rights it is important to acknowledge that military service has historically been an effective means of gaining public sympathy for expanded civil rights in the US. (The most obvious examples being African-American service during the Civil War and WW2.) In the context of the militaristic US culture, forbidding people from the military is inherently a clear declaration that they are lesser and unworthy.
