"Fake News"

When Trump came into power he immediately attacked the BBC and CNN as spreaders of 'Fake News'. He did this in the style of 'faight and look at the other guy'. When we were in Primary School if we passed gas, we turned to look at the kid next to us. This was to divert, just as Trump did and does. Now I have listened to the BBC for most of my life. I call them the British Bias Centre because of how they frame the news. What they broadcast is true because they are easily sued but has a kind of tip in a particular direction. The moron on Youtube who says the cow jumped over the moon can't be sued because s/he is a moron with no credibility. The BBC can be sued because they are a real news service. Trump's version of reality doesn't exist in the real world. Although he tries to make it seem that the whole world is running behind him, begging, that isn't true. The world is looking for other markets. China doesn't need the US, it imports and purchases from other countries. It plays along with Trump knowing that prices will shoot up for Americans, for simply put, American products are more expensive than Chinese. That Trump can babble his discordant third grade words and get his mindless followers to believe him is his 'power'. But it only works in the US, for the rest of the world is enjoying the pop corn.

Believe me, we know he's full of something that isn't nice but for the 49% of us who didn't want him back in office, it's distressing to watch everything he touches explode in his face and know it's only driving prices up for us and not affecting other people at all. There's nothing we can do to stop him until Congress gets tired of his lies and impeaches him. But, as long as he can make the stock market jump up and down on command, the rich people will let him do it and make money from it happening.

@jaylar We know but can't do anything about it. I hope the judges force him to stop soon.

Oh yeah. His friends sold their stock at a high price, then the market plummetted. They bought at a low price, sold again. He is helping the rich and eating the poor.

Trump IS making an earthquake in every country but finally the worst of it will be in the US. I pity them.

@jaylar I know it is not much, but many people I know (including myself) are not buying anything made in the USA for now.
