    Hum… Trump has been throwing lavish praise on Brazil too recently.

    He may have discovered that the US can’t stay rich by isolating themselves. But he has been praising countries that are mostly economic competitors, instead of customers or suppliers. I don’t understand how he thinks.

      I would think our competitors are the most likely people to give him something under the table to buy him off. What does he care to do it anyways?

        I don’t think on this specific case anybody has given him anything.

        Again, I don’t really understand anything about what he’s thinking. But on the case of Argentina the money seems to be flowing the other way around, and on the case of Brazil the president would reap lots of benefits if Trump antagonized him further.
