online people are saying it's the stock market thing again—do a terrible decision on the weekend, stock prices fall, rich people buy them on monday, go back on terrible decision tuesday, stock prices go up, profit—but I don't know. makes too much sense for me, I don't think he's thinking that far

@elilla the fucking mind of donald trump is an enigma. WHAT IS HE COOKING?!

[elilla@transmom.love]

@mynameistillian I will grant Trump one thing, he manages to do or say something completely out of my expectations every week. I think it's the reality TV thing. he has one skill and it is to generate headlines

@mynameistillian @elilla speaking as someone who has worked with dementia patients before: dementia

[mirahimage@toot.cat]

@elilla I think he just truths whatever terrible shit comes to him while he's pooping on the weekend, and it takes everyone else all day on Monday to talk him back to a slightly less underpants on head position

Trump:

> “I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas.

I'm seeing people calling this (the USA declaring they'll hunt down random countries' ships and seize stuff by force) "piracy", the same word they used to describe the ships that the USA robbed from Venezuela. this is wrong. piracy is when normal people do it. when a State military does it, the word you're looking for is "act of war".
