I cannot wait until we are out of weapons. I hope we're invaded by lots of countries all at once.

If that's not a "We beat Medicare" moment I don't know what one is.

I call dibs on my city being invaded by Hungary. I've visited there several times and it was great. Tell the invading troops to bring pálinka.

I think he's confusing bond markets with Bond... James Bond, the guy who keeps defeating villains like Trump in all those movies.

must be that same guy that suggested to nuke a hurricane...

Subtext: if you dump your treasuries/US bond holdings you get invaded and/or bombed.

You get the government you voted for… unfortunately those who voted differently are along for the ride no matter what.

I don't think there is a country that wants to invade the US, not even out of spite. Maybe Canada will take a bit of the top, and Mexico will snoop a bit of the south, but I don't think you should expect much more.

Woke left communist bond markets

I can only hope the west gets absorbed by Canada and labled a new terrority of cascadia. Anything east of that mountain range can get fucked.

He thinks the bond market is a place

He must have loaned out his one brain cell again.

I don't even understand how he could get from A to B here. Where are the neurons going?

I WANT Minnesota to be the next province of Canada. Hell, I almost speak in a Canadian accent. It's really flat, with a hint of a twist.

I make an exception for Minnesota.

I'd actually be okay with texas breaking off to do their own thing, so they can build a million data centers with their shitty power grid, only to regret it when the next mild winter hits.

Then they can do their Republican version of sharia law where they hunt down any female who has a penis or an aborted baby with flock cameras and bounty hunters. Oh and the armed masked unmarked millitas roaming the streets to fill detention centers like its some third world country that has CIA backed insurgencies.

I call dibs on Minnesota being invaded by Canada.

This is dementia.

What happens is that pathways in your brain start to break down, so when you're trying to form a connection, the connection just isn't there. But what your brain does is it tries to be "helpful" by routing around the damaged pathway without even telling you that it's doing this.

So part way through trying to talk about bond markets, something he doesn't really have a deep pool of knowledge on to begin with, Trump's brain ran into a block. To fix the issue, it took the last word - intervention - and formed a pathway from there. This lead to "military", kind of like an LLM losing context but continuing its next word guessing.

He probably finished out the sentence without even realizing that it has zero connection to the original question he was supposed to be answering.

I mean.... Good luck, USA? Doesn't seem like a really viable strategy.

The only way it'll work is trump saying..."You're selling our debt?", turns to Stinky Pete, "Bomb them!".

I dont understand how he's allowed to do this jesus christ the secret service needs to take him to walter reed and put him in a straightjacket literal mad king brain rotting in front of our eyes and nobody does anything fuck this stupid country dude

He's going to arrest people and lock them up in the federal reserve.

Well, there was a war on drugs. So wars on abstract concepts seem to have precedent.

UK 🤝 USA

Getting fucked up the arse by FPTP electoral systems.

Maine and Vermont are super Canadian too a bunch of Mainers are really just dislocated Québécois.

We are only ever a week or so away from running out of oil. That's what this is all about. America is too big, and consumes too much to maintain itself. As theres less to take and as America doubles down on the past, the country will degrade until it breaks.

You sound like me every morning. I don’t get it either.

Someone just needs to tell Trump what building the bond market is in and he can station some tanks in front of it and let them know he'll start shooting if they don't do what he wants.

"So I was talking to people, very smart people, the best people, about the bond market, which is, you know, it's a market, it's right there, it's a beautiful market, some people don't know this, but it's real, there's a floor, there's traders, there's guys yelling — I've seen it, I've been there, tremendous energy, tremendous — and I said, we gotta go in. We gotta send in the — I'm thinking Marines, maybe the Guard, somebody strong — and just, you know, straighten it out. Because right now the yields are doing something, nobody can explain it, they use words like 'basis points,' sounds made up, sounds like a Scrabble word, and I said, if it's a market, and it's un-American what's happening in there, we go in, we clean it up, like a — like a raid, a beautiful raid.
And this actually — this reminds me, because there's a very famous story, everyone knows it, tremendous story, where Jesus — good guy, great guy, maybe the greatest — he goes into the temple, and there's a market in there, and he doesn't like the prices, the vig, whatever they were charging, and he goes in, flips everything, tables everywhere, coins flying, unbelievable scene, and the lesson — and this is the lesson, folks, this is Biblical, you can look it up, I'm not sure you can, but you should — the lesson is: when the market's ripping you off, you send in strength. That's it. That's the whole Bible right there in one story. He didn't file a complaint. He didn't write a letter to the — to the temple commissioner, there was no commissioner, there was just him, and a table, and boom.
So that's what we're gonna do to the bond market. We're gonna flip some tables. Metaphorically — or not metaphorically, we'll see, I've got people looking into whether there's an actual floor we can send people onto, physically, and if there is, boy, are those yield curve people in for a surprise."

Trump, probably...
