things are still up in the air, with this whole CV thing and rump's pure incompetence in dealing with this matter (after all, his incompetence triggered the entire downward trend of the markets when they were not getting any answers whatsoever from rump).

Rump is actually blaming the CV on the Chinese etc., lashing out at everyone using all the lame excuses he can, but CV is branded into his forehead. That's why he's finally stopped the stupid daily press conferences. Everybody saw through them. Everybody. What does he think we are? Stupid?
