When you do something that people respond to, and then you start altering the blueprint for what worked, it's pretty fear-inducing.

Once upon a time Trump turned global economies - even for penguins and seals - upside-down with tariffs. Why did he do it? So he can claim that he solved the problem with countries like China - when all the while he started the tariff wars.
Somewhere in his mind, he has a convoluted notion that this would be good for people, that he can do whatever he wants and not uphold the constitution which is the only thing that separates us from dictatorships.
Monday: Dow soars 1,000 points after Trump team and China dramatically lower tariffs. By May 14, the US will temporarily lower its overall tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%, while China will cut its levies on American imports from 125% to 10%.
People worry. Thousands have lost jobs and much worse while Trump says he doesn't care. "Sometimes you must suffer before things turn around but it's all worth it in the end." Sorry but few people are buying that anymore.
Last week there were jokes about how many dolls a girl can have and something about the number of pencils. But the biggest joke of all sits on his throne in the White House signing executive orders into law - often targeting the most vulnerable. Sad.
Trump got what he wanted - attention and saying he is only person who can solve the world's problems because he "Runs the World" in his mind.
When you allow someone to be in charge who has mental issues and little idea of what he's talking about most of the time, and does everything possible to take away the rights, dreams, and livelihoods of others - then you know people will suffer. Sociopaths never really understand that.
Elon Musk departed much to the delight of just about everyone. The actual reason he left may never be publicly told - or at least not for now. It was probably because Trump asked him to leave. Trump doesn't want it on record that one by one he's firing people from this administration so early in the game as he did last time around.
For now Trump has changed his mind about running again. But bipolar people most often change their minds back and forth depending on mood swings. As Trump approaches 79, you can clearly see him slowing down as he takes on too much for a man of his age. Look what it did to Joe Biden. The age limit to run for office should be 70.
I don't think about what's going to happen in three years because we may not be here at all - as the simulation winds down.
In the meantime, Trump will make sure that he headlines the news every day - and is the most talked about person in the world. He doesn't care if you approve of him or not.
With his lilting voice and familiar hand gestures that are a 'tell' ... the world is forced to pay attention.
His programming is very different than anyone else - but he is an old man and the clock is ticking in more ways than one.
National Limerick Day
A limerick is a form of verse that appeared in England in the early years of the 18th century. In combination with a refrain, it forms a limerick song, a traditional humorous drinking song often with obscene verses. It is written in five-line, predominantly anapestic and amphibrach trimeter with a strict rhyme scheme of AABBA, in which the first, second and fifth line rhyme, while the third and fourth lines are shorter and share a different rhyme.
