The "moment" is the duration of the Trump administration.
Lots of people are keen to blame everything on Trump, imagining that if he would just go away everything would go back to "normal." But Trump is not the cause of this, he is the symptom of this. America has been trending in this direction for many decades now, with increasingly corrupt and authoritarian/isolationist governments that the electorate has been putting into power. It's not going to suddenly reverse if Trump suffers a fatal brain clog tomorrow. There might be a moment of respite but that's not something to depend on as a long-term change for the better, only as breathing room to further prepare for America's continued degradation.
agreed, if trump keels over the dems will go back to full time whoring for whoever has money and the republicans will go back to racism, home grown terrorism, and fascism-lite until the next fascist leader rises up. Trump is more a symptom than a driver. Even his being evil is based in mediocrity.

He's illiterate, he can't read or understand words. Glasses won't help.
Also, he is currently the dumbest human on planet Earth right now.

He still doesn’t damn get it “if those two countries make a deal I’m going to punish my own people.” What the flying hell. I know he’s stupid and he refuses to learn but damn.
He recently, repeatedly said, medicine prices were down by 500, 600 and 3000 percent (and whatever other numbers he made up).
The creature doesn’t understand even very basic math.

He can’t seem to grasp that the tariffs are the reason people are turning to China. China is a more stable business partner with cheaper goods that are consistently increasing in quality.

SCOTUS could have taken the move and saved us a lot of economic trouble but it's full of Nazis so we're fucked
Then some country can reject his board of peace offer, and he can focus on that country next week.
I mean, that's the play here... just bounce him around on different topics on a weekly basis.
We'll be back to Iran at some point... then it will be North Korea, then China, then Windmills, then Elon and SpaceX, then maybe another state/ice situation, then it'll be something who the fuck knows...
Nooooo, not the windmills again. We have way too high electricity prices and need our wind farms to come online.

Correction, Trump threatens US public with increased prices in already struggling economy.

I can’t wait for a moment where he slip, jumping from the last thing to the next, and use the epstein files as a distraction for something else out of sheer stupidity.
Boy, he got mad once someone explained that speech to him enough times.
Carney answer wss that he’ll be focusing on things he can control, which is the right answer. Trump will move on to the next shiny object in a week or two.

Do whatever you want, Canada. Mexico roots for you.
Graçias, hombre!
Indeed, do whatever is in your own best interests, Canada, Mexico, and China, the US government is experiencing an unfortunate moment of insanity.
It's not really a "moment", this is the cumulation of a long-term trend.
Please, define "moment", if you would? Are there any other editorial changes you would like to suggest?
The "moment" is the duration of the Trump administration.

The thing is he doesn’t actually represent most of the United States. Most of us are no better than plastic pieces on a game board.

There is no evidence that he can read.

Facts don’t matter to Trump. Just what he perceives to be the effects of the words he blurts out.
It’s more childish than that; if i bully them enough they’ll have to play with me, what are they gonna do? Find new friends?
You expect the stupid guy not to do something stupid?
Not expect but I do hope that some people will see the stupid and realize and maybe change who they support and follow.
That would be awesome.
An empty threat that’ll hurt us more than them. That’s like an ex threatening to get rid of her own dog.
But I loved that dog more than her!
That’s a weird phrasing for Kristi Noem
Oh boy oh boy, it’s going to be TACO day again soon!!
The man changes his mind so much Im surprised they havent renamed the White House the Waffle House.
Well we have NOW.
You caused this, you dickhead, you.
Not that it’s any of your business, either way.

This could be good, except that one move is shooting its own country in the everything.
Greenland was last week,
Canada will go this week,

So long as no one is focussing on Epstein, thats the main thing.

I’m also waiting for a moment where he slips but that’s not how my sentence ends.

yawn
Threatening our second biggest supplier of trade and our #1 provider of nearby raw materials is not going to end well for us. Doesnt seem very clever.
Trump is so useless
