    After Trump’s remarks, however, it remains unclear whether he and the president are even working from the same toolbox.

    Mango Mussolini despises the military, but wants to use them for his power grab. If it really happens, the American better hope for cooler heads within the military that fully understand their oath is to protect US Constitution and not a rotting bag of orange shit.

    This is more an example of advanced senility dementia that spouts more and more absurd out of his mouth, rather than any imminent declaration that any bon seller is a commie traitor insurgent. Though central banks around the world might want to consider this out of control spiral, and sell before they are threatened not to be allowed to sell.

    Still this is just the dotard mixing up his talking points, although technically he could claim winning this war. The bond market no longer has an air force or navy, and its missile production facillities are down at least 90%.

      That response is the level of seriousness anything Trump says should be given. If only he wasn’t the president of one of the most powerful countries in the world.
