... God he's just so stupid. Like I know abstractly he's an idiot fascist, but then shit like this drops and it's just getting beat over the head with how damn stupid he is. Fucking hell.

i bet that there's some historical and silly diplomatic dance that you have to do when it comes to this question.

Presumably his answer was "We don't need more overpriced crap we can't service ourselves, we already have Apple"

David Perdue told Fox News on Sunday: “President Trump continues to say, hey, we sell arms to other people around the world."

I think 3 or 4 presidencies from now Donald will manage to determine from first principles that the US "rules based order" is a protection racket.
