I read the WHO has offered to let us back in for $39 million.
We were paying the WHO $500 million/year. That's $461 million less than we were paying. Trump said he'd think about it.
It just occurred to me that it looks to me like Trump is treating our money like it's coming out of his pocket unlike the rest of the politicians that don't give it a second thought because it's just someone else's money. The peasants are just there to cough up whatever they feel like taking from them. I think that as a non political businessman Trump realizes this.
When I realized that a lot of things fell into place. Trump is Trump and really isn't the most presidential president we have ever had. He's pretty rough about the edges. However he is both an opportunist and one hell of a dealmaker.
He's not a cheapskate by any stretch of the imagination. He'll pay good for an good product but it had better be a good product and the price has to be reasonable.
Right now he's in the process of doing what he does best, negotiating. Colombia refused to take illegals back and refused to accept our flights. Whap! 25% tariff!
Colombia then backpedaled and agreed to take them and bam! No tariff. Done deal.
I see where many Mexicans are self-deporting and I have a feeling that (hopefully) those that are will be going to the head of the line for work visas so they can return. Fair enough! They're sure welcome back to work and live here...after they've been vetted properly. We can use the help.
Anyway, it's going to be interesting to watch Donald Trump wheel and deal for the next 4 years.
I just read his book, The Art of the Deal, and it perfectly explains his actions. I love it!
