My bet is whatever new chaos Trump creates, π―π΅ and π¨π¦ will still run rings around him.
I am glad that the greatest minds in Maga America are grappling with this thorny question.
The rest of the world waits with bated breath for their conclusions.

FFS.
It would be hilarious in a sitcom. For the leader of the free world?
Downright embarrassing.
With the planned massive infrastructure investments straight out of Chinaβs development playbook, Vietnam is all set for a mega boom.

This is my street in Hanoi. Itβs pretty typical.
Everyday I watch an embassy staff neighbour struggle to reverse their SUV and round the corners into a garage.
Itβs highly entertaining.
Sure the US will sell a ton of SUVs here. π€‘
I like the way you are flexible to evolving your system. Keeping up with gin really is a full time job!

I was on my way to Doha but with missiles flying around Qatar turning the plane around seemed like a good idea!

Not very much.
