The King of Israel, who lost his bid for Greenland, is now telling American companies to withdraw from China after China imposed a retaliatory $75 billion in Tariffs today.
Despite the assurances of Cheeto Mussolini that Trade Wars are easy to win, the current spat with China is threatening to send the U.S. economy into recession, even though his Royal Orange Geniusness wants to blame the bad wishes of democrats. This Friday night it is definitely time to put this week of bad craziness behind us.
Despite finding out the president is the “chosen one” and the “second coming of God” he apparently couldn’t keep GOP benefactor David Koch alive or keep the Amazon from burning and worsening the climate disaster now unfolding. In all of the ridiculous unprecedented madness of the Trump era, this past week may become especially noteworthy, and I’m sure Putin was certainly enjoying himself.
As a cap for the week, and an aperitif for Americans heading into the long holiday weekend next week, have a China Fight cocktail via Saveur Magazine. It is the creation of Aymeric Tortereau, of Café Juliette in Lyon.
The China fight is:
1.5 oz cognac
.75 oz Bigallet China-China
.25 oz elderflower liqueur
Stir over ice and strain into a chilled coupe glass, garnish with an orange twist.
Happy Friday, Cheers!
