Trump’s tariff implementation should be targeted against EU’s trading discrepancies rather than a broad sweeping tariffs. The sectors that US see as unfair trade are automobiles and agriculture. Mind you, US enjoyed a trade surplus with the EU on service trade. Not a zero sum game but Trump seem to just bulldozed his way forward without any proper process. Perhaps because he is dumb as a rock.

Good speech. Singapore is an open economy and zero duties and a trade deficit with US. Singapore also has a free trade agreement with US and yet they are hit with a 10% tariff. This is indeed trouble times for small nations with a bully in the White House.

I wondering if Trump know that US has a trade surplus in the service industry. Service industry growth outpaced real GDP growth. Over 1 trillion USD in services are exported. The service sector has been declining with Trump's trade policy uncertainties and now the tariffs will be a hammerblow as recessionary and global growth fears weigh on the sector. Trump is reckless and don't grasp the totality of his tariff war which will drive down the world economy. He is surrounded by sycophants and cowards who are gutless to speak out.

Just wait for the April Report.

What is also helpful is having DOGE be more transparent with their internal records.

Careful what you wish for. Those gonads are your own people especially the lower-income households. It's estimated that it will cost the average household $3,800 per year. Ouch.

Democrats favors a mixed economy and generally supports a progressive tax system. higher munimum wages, social security, universal healthcare, public education, infrastructure development and clean energy investments. Trump is bringing a chainsaw to wreck all these. I will give him credit for charming and lying to the people and winning the election. 3 months into his Presidency and the country is isolated by close allies and facing an impending recession.

Putin announced his biggest conscription drive to recruit 160,000 soldiers. The war is far from over and he is not packing up. Nothing that TRump said about Ukraine can be taken seriously.

Oh really ! 10% tariffs on Jan Mayen? The island is uninhabited. Trump is an idiot who doesn';t know what he is doing and poorly advised by his self-serving economic advisers.

I know what reciprocal meant but what I dont understand is how Trump calculate the reciprocal tariffs. You seem to be in the know. Please explain. Thank you.

Not the Democrats but the hundreds of mental health professionals warned of his cognitive decline. Waiting for his release of his health information, not his tax return. Anyway he failed to release his recent returns for the 2024 election.

Are you disagreeing with your dear leader that Russia started the war? Putin need the war to stay in power. He is stringing Trump all along. Trump has been played and is embarrassed by all his shortcomings that he lashed out at Putin. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/reversal-trump-says-russia-attacked-ukraine-rcna193299

He should release his health information. Why the secrecy. Harris revealed hers. He rambled a lot and his unintelligible speeches raised questions about his mental decline. Playing DJ and abruptly ending a town hall doesn't help dispel questions on his cognitive decline.

I thought you are intelligent enough to notice that he is a dumb sht. I am dissapointed with you.

Harris no way near Trump's uncouth, lack of discipline, decorum and toxic masculinity on the world stage.

Biden and Harris are passe. There are more serious issues now with a cognitive challenged POTUS who is dictating policies that affect the country and the world and has yet to show his medical report.

You think I work for FOX? https://www.foxnews.com/world/frances-far-left-won-parliamentary-plurality-stunning-upset-comes-next

A united left will always defeat the right in any election in France. Trump and Elon antics are not boosting the right wingers in Europe.

I must admit I am not a scientist but to say that no virus has been isolated is totally wrong. If I recalled, HIV and SARs virus were isolated by cell culture. I doubt whether you really have written any scientific papers on viruses. You do not sound like you have that kind of expertise.

Unless you are a virologist, your perspective or persuasion does not contribute much to your assertion. By the way, any of your posts made it to the Scientific Journal?

What if I tell you that Trump admitted existence of covid 19 virus and said it was deadly. Does that change your mind? Or you think Trump was talking rubbish. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-told-bob-woodward-he-knew-february-covid-19-was-n1239658

Extract from The Guardian. Kudos. "The French justice system chose courage over surrender. The law was clear, and so was the court in its sentencing: no special treatment for Marine Le Pen, no deference to the powerful, no using a candidacy for office as an excuse to break the law with impunity." US legal system submitted to the idea that the pursuit of justice and defence of the rule of law would create disunity. They lack courage to even protect the rule of law against an attempt coup détat and send the convicted felon to jail. Now US is in a sorry state and a global pariah.

Biden relationship with Putin is based on his decades dealing with Putin and based on consultation with his allies and aides. Biden has the wisdom and experience to see through Putin's tactics to confuse people meandering into the minitiae of policies. Biden can see those tactics a mile away and doesn't take he bait. Total opposite can be said about Trump and Putin relationship.

As expected, Trump has soften is tone on Putin in less than 24 hours. From threatening Putin with " very angry and pissed off over Putin to " big, big problems" to a softer pullback that he " don't think he's going to go back on his words" and pally reminder that he know Putin for a long time. Then back to his attack on Zelensky with warning of ' big big problems". TRump's incoherency on Russia and Ukraine continue on. This man is proving to the world that he is untrustworthy and can't be rely on to assure any security commitment to the allies around the world.
