To be fair to the greedy companies who don’t care about human life, if developments of cures aren’t profitable they won’t do it so we need to make sure there are incentives.

At this point the greedy companies need to be paid by the government to develop cures and if they refuse then they need to be shut down and the corporate suits jailed.

Looks like a “strike bluff” to calm down the neo-conservatism branch still powerfull in US and UE/UK. Still a moronic move to strike the only one trying to get rid of djihadism based on so called assumptions, but it’s not as worse as I was expecting it to be. Macron is a moron, May is a moron, Trump still has to talk with morons in the Republican/Democratic Parties and give them what they want. Sad!

Trump is without a doubt the least intelligent person to lead a 1st world country in the last 70 years.

I would say the opposite, even if he takes questionable decisions sometimes, especially the syrian affairs.

Are you actually saying that Donald Trump is the most intelligent leader of any first world country in the last 70 years?

Of course you are.

I don’t like accusing people of being trolls because people throw that word around a lot when it isn’t justified, but I have no choice but to assume that you’re trolling with that statement.

It’s an age-old tactic – when the scandals are closing in, bomb someone to keep your base waving the flag and screaming your support. U - S - A ! U - S - A ! Mission accomplished.

Of course you are.

Saying he’s the most intelligent leader of any country in any year is either trolling or stupidity.

Not “the”, but obviously “one of the most intelligent leaders”. Those who don’t see that are either stupid or trolls.

Trump is very smart at branding and controlling the media narrative.

Media is politics, then do the math 😃

Not really. Working with Congress is politics. Making coherent policy is politics. Being an effective leader is politics.

Media is just one part of the equation, something that Trump still doesn’t understand.

Francois Hollande seemed rather dim.

He only knows how to get media attention. He doesn’t know how to effectively work the media.

I would say I’m not surprised you feel this way… but I guess I’m not allowed to do that anymore.

So, uh, interesting Mala! Unique perspective. Surprised you’d think so. Care to elaborate on why you think that’s the case? Not being sarcastic, genuinely curious.

Trump thinks being a leader is yelling on Twitter and berating staff in public until they resign.

Also, if he’s so great with the media, then why is he so historically unpopular? And why was he barely capable of even coming within 3,000,000 votes of winning the popular election? I don’t even know why I’m asking these questions.

Because 8 billion illegal criminals voted for Clinton in California, duh.

I love how right-wingers claim to love the electoral college now purely because it gives Republicans an advantage. They say, “Well, if it weren’t for the electoral college then people in California and New York’s votes would count for something.” Yeah, that’s how the democratic election of a representative works.

Well we’re a democratic republic, which I guess means that if you live in a more populous area, your voice matters less.

In case you missed it, Trump claims he only lost the popular vote because people cast illegal votes in California.

He probably thinks that any and all votes cast by Mexican-Americans are illegal.

Any and all votes by anyone that isn’t white, I’d wager.

Also, this is tragically hilarious.

In the spring of 2017, the newly elected president met with members of the Congressional Black Caucus. During that meeting, one of the members mentioned to Trump that welfare reform would be detrimental to her constituents— adding, “Not all of whom are black,” according to NBC News.

The president was incredulous. “Really? Then what are they?”
