    The only way it’ll work is trump saying…“You’re selling our debt?”, turns to Stinky Pete, “Bomb them!”.

      This is dementia.

      What happens is that pathways in your brain start to break down, so when you’re trying to form a connection, the connection just isn’t there. But what your brain does is it tries to be “helpful” by routing around the damaged pathway without even telling you that it’s doing this.

      So part way through trying to talk about bond markets, something he doesn’t really have a deep pool of knowledge on to begin with, Trump’s brain ran into a block. To fix the issue, it took the last word - intervention - and formed a pathway from there. This lead to “military”, kind of like an LLM losing context but continuing its next word guessing.

      He probably finished out the sentence without even realizing that it has zero connection to the original question he was supposed to be answering.

    Subtext: if you dump your treasuries/US bond holdings you get invaded and/or bombed.

      That is your opinion of what he might have meant if his brain were working. In reality, we have no idea what he means, and neither does he.

    I think he’s confusing bond markets with Bond… James Bond, the guy who keeps defeating villains like Trump in all those movies.

      I call dibs on my city being invaded by Hungary. I’ve visited there several times and it was great. Tell the invading troops to bring pálinka.

      I don’t think there is a country that wants to invade the US, not even out of spite. Maybe Canada will take a bit of the top, and Mexico will snoop a bit of the south, but I don’t think you should expect much more.

        I can only hope the west gets absorbed by Canada and labled a new terrority of cascadia. Anything east of that mountain range can get fucked.

          I WANT Minnesota to be the next province of Canada. Hell, I almost speak in a Canadian accent. It’s really flat, with a hint of a twist.

            I make an exception for Minnesota.

            I’d actually be okay with texas breaking off to do their own thing, so they can build a million data centers with their shitty power grid, only to regret it when the next mild winter hits.

            Then they can do their Republican version of sharia law where they hunt down any female who has a penis or an aborted baby with flock cameras and bounty hunters. Oh and the armed masked unmarked millitas roaming the streets to fill detention centers like its some third world country that has CIA backed insurgencies.

    You get the government you voted for… unfortunately those who voted differently are along for the ride no matter what.
