Financial Complications

[dewline]

I am wondering after today...what happens to the banking connections. The main credit card companies operating in Canada are American-based. I have one of those. All our major banks - including the one I deal with - now have American operations. The Boston Bruins operate out of a rink with the Toronto-Dominion Bank brand all over it.

No tariffs on financial transactions.

That would really, really tank the markets. Not going to happen.

This is something that the weird old felon doesn't understand: the world is fundamentally interconnected.

Then again, a list of the things that he doesn't understand would be limitless.

"weird old felon" is just you being nice b/c there's a thesaurus of applicable terms that would aptly apply.

It's not even that faux Mob Boss lil-donnie 'doesn't understand', it's that his dementia has him unable to understand and doesn't allow him to separate his fantasies from reality.

Have to stop now as i want to not 'go low' b/c i can't 'go low' enough to reach his level.

I don't want to call him by name, and he hates being called weird.  So I like the three word moniker. :-)  During his first term I favored calling him the Cheeto Benito.  One referent that I like seeing used is DonOLD.  But yes, between his poor intellect and expanding dementia and unwillingness to learn, the pool of things he doesn't understand is ever-increasing.

Hang in there!
