Trump wants to buy Potash from a state run entity whose nation is under sanctions by all the countries around it.
Trump would probably be better off just outright subsidizing US Farmers.
US Farmers better hope this Belarus deal falls apart quickly. If the deal gets 1/2 done and Canada's major producer sends their Potash elsewhere .... We will see blood on the plough... Again.
There is no Belarus deal. There is no Belorussian potash. There is no punitive Canadian response targeting US vulnerability to potash to solve using a deal. Nothing is going on. Trump has imagined a world in which Canada attacked and then he has imagined a world in which he saved the day by being an amazing dealmaker and he is asking us all to go along with that.
It’s just this.
Remember though: The truth is almost anyone in this thread would melt within hours, or a day at most, in the lives of any of these people. You would turn into a crying ball of no idea what to do. Not an issue by itself but have some decorum about it.
It really says a lot about our resident election denier that he idolizes these morons so much. By says a lot I mean it reveals how dumb he is to be so impressed by clearly unimpressive people.
It's the new American Dream - I can be a phenomenal dummy, but if I keep boldly inventing truth in the face of reality, maybe I too can become rich and powerful.

Americans wagered $166B over the past 12 months. in 2025 the movie industry brought in less than $9B. Americans lost $78B of that $166B wagered.
DraftKings caught targeting gambling addicts. 50% of DraftKings profits come from 6% of users. Wadaya wanna wager these are the gambling addicts?
i feel bad for alcoholics and gambling addicts. Alcohol and gambling are omnipresent.
when i was a teenager we'd watch baseball and talk about what might happen in the next at bat or next pitch. Now, people are staring into their phones making bets between hitters and pitches. sad man, just sad. These days I watch the CBL no more MLB for me. When I used to go to Chicago, Boston and New York games there was a constant din of conversation for 3 hours. Baseball is still super social in the CBL. MLB games feature more and more people staring into their phones.
Washington has taken notice. Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Rep. Paul Tonko of New York introduced the SAFE Bet Act, which would forbid sportsbooks from using AI to track betting habits and serve personalized offers, according to AboutLawsuits.com. DraftKings and rival FanDuel, meanwhile, poured record sums into federal lobbying in 2025, with DraftKings roughly doubling its spending to about $900,000, OpenSecrets reported.
Matt Walsh responded this with the question I've asked on here before: " What Is A.I. ?"
Trump has fox “news” trying to keep up with the stupidity.

“That $5,000 check, Dana, that is not a bribe. Okay? We're calling it an enticement. We don't know if the check will ever get there. What happens if the Republicans take the House and they balk and don't write the checks? It's not Trump's fault. He just blames Congress. It's like a woman. Sometimes a woman can entice you, okay? Maybe she lowers her brassiere or she pulls her... It doesn't mean you're going home with her, but it keeps you interested. It keeps you intrigued and wanting more. That's what this is about.”

What would Ayn Rand say about this anti-gambling rant Jimmy?
Keep the government out of business, you are describing a booming business and you want to destroy it by allowing big government to fuck with it!?
Sarcasm aside, I find it very funny that you have the audacity to complain about sports betting when Trump made it federally legal in 2018 and enabled this to happen.
Hell, his son is a strategic advisor of both of the crypto gambling "prediction markets" bullshit apps, but you, a Trump voter and supporter are here complaining how gambling is bad?
It's your fault sports are being ruined, own it, stop trying to pretend you don't like it, this is late stage capitalism, it's what your whole world view rests upon.
Stop being a whiny little bitch and let the leopards enjoy their meal.

Sigh…
Doesn't this basically say "Lol, you aren't ever going to get those $5k, you idiot. Everyone knows Trump is a massive bullshitter who never keeps his word! But we sure are going to dangle it in front of you. Now be a good horsey and chase the carrot!"
