It doesn't come cheap to become a US president:)
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/22/mike-bloomberg-launches-5-million-ad-blitz-as-he-prepares-2020-bid.html
Billionaire Mike Bloomberg is putting up a $31 million ad buy as he prepares to enter the 2020 Democratic primary.
It’s the latest move by the billionaire and his team in the buildup to his likely run for the Democratic nomination for president.
Bloomberg’s team has previously said he plans to spend over $100 million if he runs.

To me it's like you are buying a presidency. Let the richest man/woman win.
But do Americans really watch those ads?

I find it amazing that a democratic country allow presidents to withhold information about it's tax duties. Presidents are lawmakers but apparently some think they are outside their own law. Only the suspicion that Trump now has something to hide to the public would make his position at stake in democratic countries. And his next term... I think Trump now need a great lawyer (rhymes on liar) like Roy "Pinocchio" Cohn:=)

The Blonde Bimbo said that he doesn't interfere in the elections of another country.
But...
He said he did not want countries to be "delinquent" and pay less than their share, adding: "Maybe I'll deal with them from a trade standpoint."
...if you don't kiss my butt & pay me...

Doesn't look good. But doesn't the Republicans have any presidential candidates beside Trump?
For me everything but Trump would be a good candidate:)

Mr Trump's trade actions - some of which raise legal questions - ensure he remains the centre of attention, while diverting talk from more pressing political problems, Ms Hillman said.
"I think he thinks it makes him look tough, it makes him look unconventional and it focuses all the attention on his actions," she said.

The remarks suggested another round of China tariffs - due 15 December - might become reality, sending US shares to their largest losses in weeks.
Some people just do not know when to keep their mouth shut. :-(

Have you any figures that compare the US deficit to the EU deficits as well?

ALL HAIL CHINA!!!!
She said farmers are aware of the monumental changes the Trump administration is trying to achieve with China and are focused instead on trying to secure other deals, like the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which the three countries completed last year but has yet to pass Congress.

"While we don't have time or much more patience with China, it's just the reality of what we're looking at," she said.

Some people just cannot face up to reality. :-(

#1 - France should stop crying over another Country doing the same as they are.
Indeed. The problem is that the EU is not a country. It's 28 countries that have different policies. What could possible go wrong?

When a country's National Dept is above their GDP you know that there is a serious problem somewhere.

Indeed. Sweden learned it the hard way in the 90's. You have to pay loans at good times but of course sometimes lend money at bad times. But the US doesn't care to pay loans ever. Warning bells are sounding everywhere and it's getting harder to get any further loans.
Hmm. It's sounds familiar. Trump and his Deutsche Bank AG connections seems to have some problems...

Well. Let's say we have some problems with the economic bit...
At the end of 2018, the government debt-to-GDP ratio ranged from 8.4 % in Estonia to 181.2 % in Greece.

Yes, both sides are the same.
But for now it's the Republicans that rule the US.

Nay, not Republicans, Not Tea Party, but Fundamentalist Christian terrorists.

I can't really see Trump as a Fundamentalist Christian. But Trump's spiritual adviser joins White House staff!
Paula White... Scary... She says the Trump pray a lot. My a*s he does! Oh. he pray for more money in his pocket. That's different.
