If he gives up Big Macs, he'll live to be 200 per Ronny Jackson.

I really felt like the media was focusing too much on the third term shit. Not going to happen.

Oddly trump is even admitting it now

Tim Simmons · 1:03PM

Steve Bannon is the one who lit this fuse and he’s a bad actor and shit stirrer. And of course Trump and certain Republicans love a good troll job too. They are saying this to flood the zone.

Tim Simmons · 1:06PM

But I get it because this Admin just pisses all over norms, this seems in line with that. So of course it’s gonna work people up.

But American life is not trending in the direction where that deciding middle portion of the public would want a third term from the dude. Remember Trump is wildly unpopular, more than ever.

Cue Lerx: “Remember Democrats need to figure out how to win an election first”.

It's another distraction.

I do get the TDS statement now. That whole camp mentions something and people lose their minds.

He is literally trolling every single day. It's like a schoolground.

I think it’s pretty important to acknowledge that both parties have turned the other way when their own party leaders or members ignore a norm. I think it’s exceptionally dangerous to have any reliance on norms, when you’re always just one indecent person (or weak persuadable one) away from having a norm dissolved. And they don’t seem to come back.

I think the issue is that he’s a troll who sometimes actually attempts to execute the outlandish things he says. There’s really no winning for Dems here (by design).

South Korea awards Trump gold crown amid deal to unlock $350bn trade talks

Seoul says it has reached broad agreement on investment and shipbuilding as attention shifts to US-China meeting

Just two weeks after millions of Americans joined No Kings protestsagainst Donald Trump, the US president was presented with a golden crown by South Korea.

After arriving on Wednesday for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) meetings, Trump was given the gift by the South Korean president, Lee Jae Myung, as part of efforts to push through a deadlocked $350bn trade deal with the US.

The gesture appeared to work. As attention turned to Trump’s meeting on Thursday with the Chinese leader, Xi Jinping, South Korean officials said Washington and Seoul had reached a broad trade deal covering investment and shipbuilding.

“South Korea and the United States have reached an agreement on the details of the tariff negotiations,” Lee’s aide, Kim Yong-beom, told reporters after a meeting between the two leaders.

“South Korea’s financial investment package for the United States, worth $350bn, consists of $200bn in cash investment and $150bn in shipbuilding cooperation,” Kim said.

Earlier, Trump told reporters a deal had been reached, but gave no details. “We did, we did. We did reach a deal,” he said at a dinner with Lee and other leaders. “We made our deal, pretty much finalised it.”

However, much of the focus of the trip will be on Trump’s talks with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, when they hold their first face to face meeting of his second term in the south-eastern Korean city of Gyeongju on Thursday.

After Trump landed on a flight from Tokyo, where he had signed a rare-earths deal with Japan’s new prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, the US president addressed a summit of chief executives before meeting Lee.

The crown was a replica of one from the ancient Silla kingdom, whose capital was Gyeongju. Trump was also awarded the Grand Order of Mugunghwa, Korea’s highest decoration – named after the country’s national flower, a pink hibiscus known also as the Rose of Sharon in English.

The US president is known to love gold. He has decked the White House with gold, and business and foreign leaders have given him gifts of golden objects ranging from plaques, to a gold-plated fighter jet model, and even a samurai helmet.

Trump said he expected to reach a “great deal” on US trade with China, with a framework already drawn up for him and Xi to sign. He said he would cut a 20% tariff, imposed on China because of the flow of products used in production of the synthetic opioid fentanyl.

“I think we’re going to have a deal,” Trump said, adding that it would be a “great deal for both” countries. Speaking at a meeting of corporate leaders at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, he said: “The world is watching, and I think we’ll have something that’s very exciting for everybody.”

A truce in the US-China trade war would be a satisfying end to Trump’s Asia tour, during which he has been lavished with praise and presents. But the prospects for a diplomatic breakthrough over North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme appeared to recede on Wednesday.

Speculation had grown that Trump could use his time in the region to arrange a fourth meeting with the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, possibly in a repeat of their 2019 encounter at the demilitarised zone separating North and South Korea. But Trump suggested a meeting was unlikely. “I know Kim Jong-un very well … we really weren’t able to work out timing,” he said.

Beijing said the talks between Xi and Trump would take place in the South Korean port city of Busan, with the US leader telling reporters “a lot of problems are going to be solved” at the “great meeting”.

For Trump’s host, South Korea, the president’s visit was a chance to try to break its own trade deadlock. The two allies announced a deal in August under which Seoul would avoid the worst of the tariffs by agreeing to pump $350bn of new investments into the US.

Again, its such a weird time to be living in where leaders, who are purportedly serious mature adults, absolutely revel in antagonizing a subset of people.
