As the markets have all bounced back you can probably suspect this is all about insider trading for his mates. 

Was just about to post the same- make ludicrous demands, rattle the markets, buy some stock, back track, markets bounce back, sell stock at profit 

old as time 

he’s still bitter about only getting Infantino’s peace award and not a Nobel one though…

Won't be long before we're buying desalinated water from Nestle because all the natural water sources are being consumed by data centres to power the AI bot farms that are convincing your Granny that Al Qaeda is coming for her pension.

A couple of our acquaintance, have just informed us they have a fallout shelter in their back garden of their Aberdeen home. Built underground, for maximum safety.

They both read every bit of conspiracy shit online, for the past few years and are now at the point where it is really impacting their mental health. 

I'd laugh, but they have an eight year old Son and this can't be doing him any good. 

He already has to suffer overnight 'survival trips', for when Armageddon comes.

Fucking hell that’s grim

That is indeed grim.

They might be getting the WD40 out for the doomsday clock though.

Small consolation but K.O times will be 3:30 and 6:30 pm for the Scotland games here:

Home - Coober Pedy Experience Motel

I think?

He seems to be having a bad week. Thousands out protesting, nobody sane joining his board of peace, he’s three different colours, ripping the pish out of his allies war dead & sending his lovers husband to make deals with Putin. 
 

Shan't be long now I don’t think

Interesting. I’m reading about how good a week he had. Davos, strengthened connections with other leaders, trade deals, increased access to Greenland for military use, further arctic trade opportunities, other countries taking ownership and responsibility, including financial, meetings with Ukraine, Russia, and china, and a booming US economy.

i ignore this thread mostly because it’s all who you read, and what’s believable.

Be fair and honest. I’m not defending trump. But trade deals were made. Relationships with certain countries developed. Trump demanded other countries step up, in actions and funds, a that has happened. Meeting with both Russia and Ukraine. US stock market is booming. 
much like the media here, may of you seem to ignore half the truth. Again, not defending trump and some of the things he’s doing, but progress was made. The threat of tariffs had an effect, got results for trump and the US, hence the threat was dropped. 
I know people hate trump and see negatives, but good things are happening too. For the US at least which obviousky doesn’t please everyone.

ive openly stated problems with trump, I’m not one sided.

Another person monitoring ICE has been shot and killed by Trump’s SA. Government claiming he was armed but videos on line show him being held down a number of SA…..I mean ICE agents before they shoot him. Hopefully people of Minnesota protest this peacefully and do not give Trump the excuse he is looking for to enact the insurrection act.

It’s fucking disgusting. Guy was an ICU nurse who tried to help a woman that was pushed to the ground and in return got pepper sprayed, bundled to the ground and executed. Doesn’t matter what any of these fucking ghouls say, it’s on video.

At this rate the World Cup is going to be the modern day equivalent of the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

It was already going to be that anyway. Now it is probably going to involve lines of security “for your protection” and any sign of dissent or protest hammered.  
 

Really not regretting my decision to give this a miss.
