Donald I, emperor of the world.

There's a good summary here from Wired:
https://www.wired.com/story/9-urgent-questions-about-trump-mobile-and-the-gold-t1-smartphone/

The TLDR is that there is no way it could be made in America by September, all the pictures on the Trump website are fake / AI generated and you are paying $500 for a low end Android handset with some trump trimmings.

Reminiscent of the $1500 Trump MAGA guitar which he shat out at the start of the year - in reality a budget, low-end Chinese Gibson Les Paul knockoff - something near-identical without the printed-on 'custom' finish would be sub £100. Plus it infringed Gibson's registered trade dress, resulting in a cease & desist order!

Trump has now said he will make a decision on Iran in the next 2 weeks.
It looks like he’s blinked first and is looking at some way of cooling this down.

TACO.

Is this 2 weeks the same length of 2 weeks as he gave Russia over Ukraine?

Donald Trump said on Thursday that he will make a decision on whether to launch a military strike on Iran “within the next two weeks”.
If there’s one thing this president likes, it’s two-week deadlines.
Three and a half weeks ago, Trump said that Russia had two weeks to demonstrate a willingness to end the war in Ukraine or face new economic sanctions. He has yet to announce his decision.
A week ago, Trump said that in about two weeks the US would be sending letters out informing America’s trading partners of their new tariff levels. Back in May, he set a similar “two to three weeks” timeframe for new import duties only for the mark to pass without action.
Back in 2020, the president said he would unveil a “full and complete health care plan” in two weeks. No such plan was ever released.
It was just one of a grab bag of two-week policy deadlines Trump set and then discarded during his first presidential term - on issues ranging from infrastructure to taxes to withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord.
Trump eventually followed through on some of these – and decisions on war and peace are some of the most consequential ones a president can make. But history suggests that for Trump a two-week deadline is seldom set in stone.

Bullshit ‘without excess force’. Maybe standard in the US, but they’re a very aggressive society. Why push him to the floor?

 

[pinkbikini]

Trump’s ‘2 weeks to try and maintain media presence on me’ again. Cowardly narcissist.

The worldwide tariffs are due for review on the 2nd July IIRC. That's not far away. Less than 2 weeks.

Yet another TACO.
"President Donald Trump has extended the deadline for TikTok's sale in the US for a further 90 days."

As someone pointed out, that in itself is illegal - there is no mechanism for a second extension. I know, I know, like its being totally illegal will stop him...

 

[Pblakeney]

At what point do even MAGA supporters realise that he is useless at negotiations unless he can bully someone into submission?
I know, I know, stupid question.

Or maybe he and his cohort of incompetents are clueless and don't know what to do. This is out with embezzlement and project 2025.

 

[Pinno718]

Poostain weighed in basically saying he didn't want the US to intervene (directly) in Iran and Netanyahoo is well, doing all he can to carry out something he has openly stated for 30 years.

I guess Trump will be sucking his thumb.
