What stupid shit has Trump done today?

[Don Troooomp]

Things are in the wind.
Kim Dotcom and Russia (maybe the same thing) are suggesting all countries and investors dump USD reserves, citing mounting US debt as the reason, then claiming the currency will be defunct (along with the US economy) in the near future.
As you might very well be aware, the US debt problem is held at bay by the petrodollar, and that's lost a lot of ground to BRICS over the last few years. Even Saudi, the place the petrodollar was first used, is doing more BRICS oil trade with China that it does with the US.
Russia is reported to be dumping US bonds at the moment, and it looks like they're trying to trigger a rush.
As Trump is playing this game as if he's working for the Russians, one has to wonder what they have on him.

Peter Strzok: FBI fires agent who criticized Trump in text messages

FBI agent Peter Strzok, who once helped lead the bureau’s investigation into Russian election interference and sent texts disparaging Donald Trump, has been fired by the bureau.

Strzok, a 21-year veteran of the organisation, helped oversee both the Russia inquiry and the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails, but sent texts critical of Trump including one where he labeled the future president an “idiot”.

Strzok was the dude who made this impassioned rebuttal of asnine comments from the Chair of the House Committee not long ago, which can be seen here.

(EDIT: Removed screen cap of tweet - account has now changed its name to "Not Peterstrzok" so it's not from the actual guy, but plenty saying sacking is clearly political.)

So, another phase of the purge begins.

So, it seems Trump has a habit of scribbling angry screeds over articles he doesn't like and sending them to the authors. Okay.

I can't imagine that those people consider it anything other than a badge of honor to receive one of these missives.

He's already well proven what a deeply petty man he is. We shouldn't really be shocked he does this as well.

How bizarre that Trump's written eVRYTHiNG iN CAPiTALS except the letters e and i which are always in lower case.

Come on you graphologists - what does that tell us about him?

Edited to add: lower case i's except when it's the first person singular (i.e. about him) when it's always I !

i do that when i write in caps with a sharpie....lowercase e's flow better...caps Es are a hassle....4 seperate lines
i do lowercase I's too not sure why...i think so its clear that its an I so put a dot on top

Time zones aren't hard to understand - unless you happen to be a fucking idiot

Trump reportedly tries to call world leaders at odd hours and has to be reminded of different time zones on a ‘constant basis’

President Donald Trump has to be reminded of differences in time zones on a “constant basis” as he impulsively attempts to call other world leaders, a diplomatic source told Politico in an article published Monday.

According to a former National Security Council official who spoke to Politico, Trump “wasn’t great with recognizing” that an older world leader might not be awake “or in the right place at 10:30 or 11 p.m. their time.”

Trump says there are no 'non-disclosure' agreements in the white house, then tweets there are.

Trump Appears to Admit White House Aides Signed Nondisclosure Agreements

FORT DRUM, N.Y. — President Trump appeared to acknowledge on Monday something his aides have declined to confirm for months: that his White House had aides sign nondisclosure agreements.

The president made the statement in a post on Twitter about Omarosa Manigault Newman, a former contestant on “The Apprentice” who became an assistant to the president, and whose new book makes unflattering claims about Mr. Trump and his family.

“Wacky Omarosa already has a fully signed Non-Disclosure Agreement!” Mr. Trump tweeted, using the type of moniker he often deploys against people who say disparaging things about him.

Bit hard to know which lies not to believe so I'm putting everything he says down as bullshit.

Russian Military Spy Software is on Hundreds of Thousands of Home Routers

The presence of Russian malware on the routers, first revealed in May, could enable the Kremlin to steal individuals’ data or enlist their devices in a massive attack intended to disrupt global economic activity or target institutions.

On May 27, Justice Department officials asked Americans to reboot their routers to stop the attack. Afterwards, the world largely forgot about it. That’s a mistake, said Rob Joyce, senior advisor to the director of the National Security Agency and the former White House cybersecurity coordinator.

“The Russian malware is still there,” said Joyce.

When you think nothing the Orange Twat says or Tweets will surprise you any more.

Then this:

"When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House,
I guess it just didn’t work out. Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!"

Fuck me

 

[Tankus]

I hope Muller subpoenas his son as his next move ....perjury , conspiracy to defraud the USA ...etc .....just to see where trump will go ....

He was just a heartbeat away from calling her a N*gger B*tch. Even so, his post isn't so much a dog whistle as a fog horn.

This is a dangerous move for Trump. Any legal action exposes Trump to the possibility of a court appearance, and a habitual liar could easily end up in trouble.

Trump takes legal action against Omarosa

Donald Trump's election campaign has begun legal action against an ex-White House aide and reality TV star for allegedly breaching her contract.

Donald J Trump for President, Inc has filed for arbitration against Omarosa Manigault Newman, claiming she violated a 2016 non-disclosure agreement.

Something to do with insulting a private citizen via a public platform apparently.

Nothing will happen of course, but hey ho.

Uh pretty sure he has insulted a lot of private citizens via public platforms of all sorts. Why would this be any different?

Fat chance of much happening when you consider the Repubes (Did I spell that right?) are knowingly protecting a traitor.

This one weird trick gets Trump to testify at trial!

 

[Don Troooomp]

Turkey is in a mess but Russia is coming to their aid, as is Iran.
Russia removed its own sanctions against Turkey about a year ago, now moving to support that NATO country against US sanctions.
The turkey in the Oval office is doing a fine job for Russia.

 

[Don Troooomp]

One hopes.
The twat can't stop his lies, and one on a witness stand or whilst being deposed under oath would be a killer blow.

The great dollar dump: Russia liquidates US Treasury holdings

Russia is continuing to diversify state reserves away from US debt. The latest data from the US Treasury shows that Russia's share hit an 11-year minimum and totaled only $14.9 billion.
.................Global geopolitical conflicts along with trade tensions triggered by the US earlier this year have made some countries follow suit. Turkey nearly halved its US Treasury holdings from almost $62 billion in November to $32.6 billion in May. Germany has reduced its holdings from $86 billion in April to $78.3 billion in May.

I'm no financial wizard but this looks a lot like countries are getting worried about more than sanctions.
EDIT - A quick look around shows a lot more countries moving away from the PetroDollar in favour of BRICS and a good few dumping Dollar reserves.
Big changes are in the wind.

Yeah, I'd have agreed with that a couple of years ago.
