As further evidence that they have fully lost the plot, NY Times reporters make a clear case that Trump has no shot at being the next President of the European Union:

U.S. Tax Bill May Inspire Cuts Globally, While Fueling Trade Tensions

To President Trump and congressional Republicans, the overhaul of the tax code that became law on Friday will make the United States a better place to do business. To the rest of the world, it has the potential to challenge the global economic order, creating an uneven playing field and setting off a race among countries to cut corporate taxes.

The overhaul is already threatening economic relations, adding to concerns that Mr. Trump is advancing a nationalistic agenda at the expense of other countries.

Weird. On a normal day we are told the tax bill is a giveaway to the rich that will do nothing for the working class. But today we learn that world leaders are concerned it will lead to investments and business activity in the United States that would otherwise occur elsewhere and Trump is to blame. That's a heckuva message: Europe and China wouldn't have to worry about US competition if Hillary were in charge!

For the umpty-bumpth time I am reminded I will never have sufficient intellectual agility to be a progressive.

So if the rest of the world cuts corporate taxes there will be a worldwide investment boom.

Let the old economic order be challenged.

The voters of the EU hate Trump and won’t elect him as EU president? I guess they can elect an idiot - Hillary instead. Meanwhile, we will let him make America Great Again!!

What makes this statement even more absurd is the fact that Donald Trump couldn’t even campaign in the PU because he does not speak arabic, molest young boys, and otherwise grovel at the feet of muhammad.
