12. Do you really think he's doing the "right" thing by manipulating markets

Or issuing constant threats in the first place?

He should be ridiculed for absolutely everything. I agree that it’s good he didn’t go through with “threatening to wipe out a civilization”. That’s a no brainer. Commiting genocide isn’t a good thing and no is saying he should have gone through with it.

That’s also completely besides the point. The reality is no one believes he’ll follow through with anything anyways. He did this exactly one year ago, and then backtracked once he saw how the markets reacted. This makes this country completely untrustworthy.

As his defense secretary has said, no quarter.

Fuck him. He never does the right thing. How about not issuing threats of genocide in the first place? Is the bar that low now?
