Trump continues to make enemies out of friends

Perhaps few, if any countries in the world have a higher approval of America than the Philippines. They have that loyalty and positive feelings towards Americans, regardless of our leader. I live here and let me tell you, they love America. Yankee and Dodgers hats everywhere. Bulls too. I was in Iloilo yesterday and saw a guy with a full Boston Bruins shirt and another at S&R with a New England Patriot's shirt with Brady's name on the back. We spoke and I told him I saw Brady play on Foxboro and he told me that he's been a fan for years.

I purchase American goods and other "imports" at S&R and I don't see much difference in the price here as in America, so I don't think the Tariffs are that high against American products here in the Philippines.

But, anyway, here's an article from the Manila Times today.

"It was disappointing that the Philippines was not included in the list of countries that were served a baseline 10 percent tariff increase, given that it has a relatively low trade surplus with the US and has been an ally of the US for some time," Moody's Analytics Sarah Tan told The Manila Times.

1. As is his intent. He wishes to destroy everything anyone else values or cares about.

He is a psychologically deranged person. He seeks revenge on everyone and everything for not loving him enough or not gratifying him enough.

And with his insatiable appetite for such, that is just about everyone except the weirdo sycophantic grifters and opportunists that attach to him like remora.

2. Before you begin a journey of revenge....

First dig two graves.

3. A poor country

like the Philippines, doesn't have the money to buy expensive American goods. Even so, the trade deficit is negligible. The Philippines exports very little to the United States, maybe a few electronic components.

Why pick on them? Talk about the "Ugly American", we have really reached the limit of that phrase.
