Trump says the US and China have a trade
00:00:01
deal again. It's essentially the old
00:00:03
deal going back to zero. You know what
00:00:05
he should have just done is settled the
00:00:07
situation in Gaza and settled the
00:00:09
situation in Ukraine. He get his famous
00:00:11
Nobel Prize, right? That's all he had to
00:00:14
do. And shut the [ __ ] up. There's an
00:00:16
expression I use with people I I use it
00:00:18
when I was a manager that people that
00:00:20
confuse activity with productivity.
00:00:23
People that are manic and move around a
00:00:24
lot, they look like they're doing
00:00:26
things. It's sort of like look busy,
00:00:28
Jesus is coming kind of thing. This guy
00:00:31
confuses activity with productivity and
00:00:33
none of this is productive whatsoever
00:00:35
and it makes us look stupider and it
00:00:37
gives an enormous amount of tells to all
00:00:40
kinds of people whether it's Europeans
00:00:42
or Chinese or whoever we're dealing
00:00:44
with. Everyone can tell what's going to
00:00:45
happen here. You know, world's worst
00:00:48
poker player. When you don't know who
00:00:49
the sucker in the room is, it is, as
00:00:51
it's turned out, Trump. I find this just
00:00:54
ridiculous waste of our time and not
00:00:56
good for the US economy.
