And every other country in the world is a nightmarish hellhole.

And the rubes believe it. And that's how they'll never drag themselves off the slag heap.

8. Holds grudges

He holds grudges decades later.

He feels he was snubbed in UN's renovation project of early 2000s.

They rejected his bids.

Summary of Trump’s speech to the UN today:

1. Your countries all suck.

2. None of you know what you are doing.

3. The US is better at everything.

4. All because of me.

5. I’m right about everything.

6. You should listen to me & do what I say.

7. And give me lots of awards.

In fact, the article states:

snip

Despite the grim outlook, the founder's message is not one of despair but of preparation. The key issue, according to the founder, is not whether to worry but "how you as an individual will deal with it." The founder provided clear and actionable advice for individuals to navigate the uncertain future.

Firstly, the founder emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility, quoting the Chinese idiom: "A clever rabbit has three burrows." This means having the ability to move oneself and capital from bad situations to better ones. The founder advised against tying oneself to a single asset like a house, as this could limit the crucial flexibility needed in a rapidly changing world.

I think this compares with that book The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy by William Strauss and Neil Howe. While it doesn’t claim governments “completely change” every 70 years, it does propose a compelling generational theory: that societies—especially America—undergo major upheavals roughly every 80 to 100 years, culminating in a “Fourth Turning,” a period of crisis that reshapes institutions and national identity.

Another book that builds on this idea is The 80-Year Cycle of Transformation: Why Liberals Are Winning by Vivian Harte. It argues that every 80 years, a “New Paradigm” emerges in American society, transforming its political and cultural landscape.

normal people. I really didn't want to try to explain that all Americans are not provincial bumpkins.

And our insane provincial bumpkin is now on full display to the world. It is such an embarrassment.
