What Vance said:

Which is of course stupid isolationism because of course this war would cause major disruptions worldwide and if it went nuclear the consequences would be very far reaching.
So preventing this war is very much “our business”.
I imagine Rubio was the one who put an end to this nonsense.

Weren’t the HHR morons who said Russia is no threat “concerned” about China.
China has now declared it will firmly support Pakistan.
“China’s foreign minister Wang Yi has reportedly told his Pakistani counterpart Ishaq Dar during a telephonic conversation that Beijing stands by Islamabad in upholding “Pakistan’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national independence.” Immediately after the conversation, Pakistan’s foreign office released a statement confirming the same.”
Of course, now that China is taking sides in the conflict Vance will probably say it is still “none of our business” and the HHR morons will clap and cheer.

The problem is that it became a political tool for the Marxists to be used as propaganda, funding NGO’s with a political agenda.
Evidently, of the 5000 projects around the world, they have kept about 1300.
I hope USAID will continue with its original purpose, food, water projects, agricultural projects and medicine.

Zzzz…. Trump has been a protectionist and isolationist for 60 years, Chicon knows that. It is the ONE thing he has been consistent on.
I mentioned Vance because he was the one who said “a India-Pakistan conflict is none of our business”, not Trump.
Btw, still waiting for an answer on whether Chicon agrees with that statement.
Yes or no.

Trump is an isolationist by conviction. It is something he has defended and been consistent on for decades.
It doesn’t mean he will not take action to defend US interests as President if the need (or opportunity) arises.
I have given him credit for several actions where he DID act in US interests, as for example the war on ISIS, troops in Syria, the killing of the Iranian terrorist general, and especially the Abraham Accords. I supported his initiative with N Korea and his meeting with Rocketman.
And to Chicon’s point that I am more critical of Vance, this is true. I was going to vote for Trump anyway, despite my disagreements with him on Ukraine, NATO and trade, but I almost didn’t support the ticket because I viewed Vance’s positions as unacceptable.
So it is clear I don’t view Trump as being as much of an isolationist as Vance, everything is relative.

The Atlantic is full of crap
“Remember the days after President Joe Biden’s barely coherent debate performance, when Democratic dead-enders insisted that nothing was the matter? That was embarrassing. But apparently it wasn’t so embarrassing that everybody took away the correct lesson, because something similar is now happening between Senator John Fetterman and a coterie of admirers on the right. Conservatives are now doing the exact same thing that the Biden defenders did: denying the obvious unfitness of a politician because he’s politically useful.”
The hypocrisy is astounding. In the first place, even if true and Fetterman was in the same mental decline as Biden (doubtful), Fetterman is one of 100 senators in a legislative capacity. Biden was President, in the most powerful executive capacity in the world.
So the analogy stinks.
And who is the Atlantic calling “Biden defenders”? Are they looking at a mirror?

The trade negotiations in Switzerland with the Chinese seem to have been productive. However, details will matter, and more will come out Monday.
According to Jameson Greer, the trade representative accompanying the Sec of Treasury…….
”This was, as the Secretary pointed out, a very constructive two days. It’s important to understand how quickly we were able to come to an agreement, which reflects that perhaps the differences were not as large as previously thought. That being said, there was a lot of groundwork that went into these two days.
Just to remember why we’re here in the first place: The United States has a massive $1.2 trillion trade deficit. The President declared a national emergency and imposed tariffs. We’re confident that the deal we struck with our Chinese partners will help us to work toward resolving that national emergency.”

Zzzzz…
Trade deficits are not a national emergency.
You read it here first.
“Asking whether trade deficits are good or bad is like asking whether buying stuff with borrowed money is good or bad. The answer is pretty obviously “it depends on whether the purchase was worth it”.
One thing to remember is that not all purchases are for consumption — a lot are actually productive investment. If an American factory buys a Japanese CNC machine tool for $100,000, and the Japanese toolmaker simply stashes the money in U.S. Treasury bonds, that contributes to the U.S. trade deficit. But if the American factory uses that tool to make and sell $500,000 worth of car parts, it has come out ahead — and America has come out ahead too”
In other words if you use imported goods to grow your economy, for example, transporting, marketing, and selling those products, and building locations to sell them and hiring people to sell them trade deficits can be positive, not negative.

This very good.
I don’t remember Trump being that engaged in 2028 when Rs lost 40 seats.
I hope he is obsessed enough that he won’t endorse losers and deadenders.
The midterms are very important. Rs need to hold on to the Senate, obviously, so Trump can continue to appoint conservatives to the Federal bench and maybe SCOTUS. But the House is essential too. A Dem House will try to impeach Trump, run endless investigations, and completely block any legislation.

@MarkHalperin that “Biden Inc.,” the family business that generated millions of dollars in revenue to support their lifestyle, has dried up. “The trough is empty, the spigot is turned off,” says Mark. “Biden Inc. needs a source of revenue.” Joe’s earning power is not sufficient, and “Hunter does not have great earning capacity.” Joe and Jill Biden’s appearance on “The View” today comes amid these challenges.”
