What really is this "Board of Peace" supposed to be about? As wonderful and respected around the world as Trump is, why are there only pretty much crackpot nations there? - other than spaffing $1B to join, what do they think they'll get out of it. And what does Trump get out of it? Edited February 20 by Sweep Quote

And what does Trump get out of it? Trump probably gets the money It started off as a means to rebuild Gaza then it morphed into something that is about world peace then in the opening speech he said he might start a war in the middle east in the next 10 days and he renamed it to the "Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace" it basically looks like NATO but for authoritarian regimes Quote

Like him or not, I think most of us could agree that a single person can't just decide, on a whim, what tariffs are to be imposed Quote

kent_white Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Blimey - we were talking about this eventuality a couple of weeks back. And the amount of money they're going to have to pay back to companies is frightening! Just the administration of it is eye watering - and apparently he's already sacked most of the people who can administer it.Β Be really interesting this now. We'll find out whether he's a tyrant or not if he aggressively challenges the Supreme Court.Β Quote

Manchester_whites Posted February 20 Posted February 20 FFS Trump is talking about destroying (economically) foreign countries because the Supreme Court has ruled against tariffs. Absolutely unhinged!Β Quote

Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Heard that the money he used as his contribution to the board of peace wasn't ratified by the relevant bodies (Congress?). This could be some incorrect shit stirring of course, but it may also be accurate, and if so, you'd imagine there maybe consequences here. Quote

Given he's got a habit of doing shit on his own without Congressional approval it wouldn't be beyond possibility. Quote

Thing I don't get is how that money is actually transferred.Β Does he do it himself- almost certainly not. Somehow, there must be a process whereby someone actually hits some computer keys. You would imagine there maybe concerns by them, or their bosses as to the legality of their actions, if approval hadn't been ratified. Quote
