Thank you for comparing Trump to the Joker. I’ve long thought that Trump is closer to Heath Ledger’s Joker than any other person, real or fictional.

Agree 💯 - trump is motivated by cruelty, inflicting pain then enjoying watching the suffering.

It's horrifying to realise that Trump enjoys people being hurt, arrested, and put in prison on his command. I think that for him, it's a demonstration of power, and it's also a statement:

"I'm the winner, and I am superior to you. And you are the losers."

Does anyone know what made him this way?

I am convinced he enjoys the very thought of inflicting pain on others.

Listening and watching the manner in which he speaks on the subject is sadistic. He tries to come across in a way that he believes is socially the normal way but the opposite is the result.

One component of Malignant Narcissism is Sadism. People don’t fathom how much Trump is driven by it. In normal folk those impulses are offset by caring emotion. Trump has none, enjoys chaos. Of course he savored the Jan 6 insurrection as he does masked deportations and peddling fear. He's The Joker.

UK and EU Seek to Link Carbon Markets in Wider Post-Brexit Reset The UK and European Union entered a new era of climate cooperation by pledging to link their carbon markets to avoid trade levies and reset post-Brexit relations.

Quietly important stuff, particularly if Australia, Canada and Mexico join. All have domestic pricing so they’ve done the hard part.

Trump wants an investigation of Democrats' fundraising. His own campaign has issues When President Donald Trump directed his attorney general last month to investigate campaign fundraising, he cited concerns that foreigners and “malign actors” were laundering illegal contributions to...

“Foreign money in our elections is a legitimate concern...What’s not legitimate is to single out one political opponent and pretend the problem is limited to them,” @danw329.bsky.social told @apnews.com about the Trump administration's ActBlue fundraising investigation.

WSJ
Dollar Confidence Crisis Is Here, Deutsche Bank Warns
By WSJ Staff
The broad selloff in U.S. stocks and bonds, and the continuing decline in the dollar, represents a
"simultaneous collapse in the price of all U.S. assets," analysts at Deutsche Bank said Wednesday. They warned that "unchartered territory" lies ahead.
• Markets are dedollarizing, they said, citing the lack of evidence that investors are hoarding dollar liquidity- a dynamic that in previous market routs fueled Treasury and U.S. dollar rallies but this time is leading to declines in the prices of both.
• The administration is encouraging the Treasury selloff, they said, in a bid to bring down U.S. asset valuations-a decision they said now is exposing the fact that "reducing bilateral trade imbalances is functionally equivalent to lowering demand for U.S. assets as well."
• A financial war with China could lie ahead, they conclude, contending that "there is little room now left for an escalation on the trade front" and that
"there can be no winner to such a war."

What a night, what a performance from this far from 100% team, one of the great European nights at the Emirates.

Declan Rice has produced two of the greatest free kicks you'll ever see at this level, and we 100% deserved that third goal too.

Incredible. This team deserves so much love. #arsenal

Asian grocery stores, a lifeline for immigrants, brace for steep new tariffs Asian grocery stores are a lifeline to the communities they serve. But store owners say the prospect of sweeping tariffs are threatening their ability to stock up on goods and keep prices affordable.

I'm getting so into writing the sequel, especially being in an especially conducive environment in South India, that I haven't been checking on the reception the first one's been getting. So how are you all enjoying the world of Private Detective Lance Pomegranate?
