Someone finally got through to Trump that Belarus has no potash to spare. All of their production is under contract.
Someone is feeding Trump fake news, and Trump is making very public announcements based on it. The bad intel, one might suspect, is designed to make Trump look foolish, having to backtrack. I wonder if that’ someone’ is Vance, who desperately wants to evict Trump from the White House after the mid-terms?
“Why would we lower the price? You just said you’re going to buy it. “
“In fact, sounded like you tried to find alternatives and failed utterly. Kinda thinking we might be charging too little.”
Especially now that there is a huge fertilizer shortage and the demand has skyrocketed.
And they already know the other people you would buy it from don’t have any to sell you
I think Canada should announce that the prices will start at current levels, and increase by permanent 5% every time the orange shitstain (or the dumb fucks he hires) makes a threat/unilateral demand to the Great White North. Trade war? +5%. Annexation/51st state bullshit? Oh look, another +5%. Keep it going and make it crystal clear at every opportunity that it’s his fault
I would like to see Canada make a statement that the potash won’t be sold until after the midterms, and any sales afterwards, to states supporting the current administration, will have to pay a premium in taxes on the potash.
Sounds like an ideal time for Canada to add an export tax on potash destined to the US.
What an idiot.
Best I can do is go fuck yourself.

“No.”

If Republicans blame midterms on trump and dump him after January, then Vance still could have 2 full terms after.
If it happens before, it counts as a presidential term.
But honestly, rather than fracturing the base by him walking away, I think it would be more likely (but more crazy) that they just let him die. He clearly has serious health issues, and the White House medical team is corrupt as fuck.
Incoming Republican admin would be able to quickly hide any cause of death and just toss him in the ground before an autopsy.
Hell, even if they just switched his blood pressure pills for tic-tacs, that would show up in a basic autopsy as a heart attack or stroke. Then Vance gets full control over MAGA, and even if it took a year for the heart attack, the closer to 2028 election the better for Vance.
They just have to stop giving him golf cart rides everywhere. Let him walk and his heart will give out.
Why would Vance need to hide it. “He was a threat to national security”. The courts/congress already showed they won’t charge a sitting president, and he can write himself a pardon for it so they could never charge him for it if he left office.
Because Vance wants to win in 2028…
He was a threat to national securit
Would mean he gets zero maga votes…
