    No repercussions for China after national address on the crisis.

    Tariffs for Canada for smoke wafting in his direction, but no firefighters.

    What a fucking clown.

      Why do people keep calling him a clown? Genuine question. I thought clowns were supposed to be funny or at least try to make people laugh. This guy is not a clown?

        To “clown around” is to be inept or incompetent at a role. Calling someone a clown in a derogatory context references that meaning.

          He’s not a clown, though? He’s been scamming his way through life his whole life, at the expense of others. That’s not really clownish.
