Trolling blah blah...😆

More lame deflection. It's the Americans who are paying tariffs, not Vietnam!

Blah blah. Tariffs are not paid by the exporters, they are paid by the importers who forward it to the final customer. It's a tax and it's a domestic tax! Trump is lying, as usual. Vietnam doesn't pay any tariff. It's a lie for the gullible! 🤣

Inflation down because of opec (see chart) Biden food inflation in December 2024 and January 2025: 2,5%. Trump 2.9%. Not only are food prices not going down as oromised by Trump (and as you wrote in your post), but they are increasing more than at the end of Biden's mandate! 🤣 https://www.bls.gov/cpi/

Cherry picking the year with the highest global inflation! At the end of Biden's mandate, with a similar economic context, food inflation was lower than currently. And Trump promised to bring prices down (not inflation rate down). It will never happen!

Inflation similarly peaked in other countries as it was a global inflation phenomenon. At the end of Biden's mandate it was 2.9%. If one excludes the oil inflation decrease caused by opep as it's external, Trump's inflation numbers are similar.

It's you who claimed that food prices were dropping. Another 'rhetorical device'?

Complete MAGA B.S. The IG confirmed the investigation was properly predicated, and the Durham investigation failed

Inflation is down because of opec. Food inflation is higher (2.9%) than under Biden (2.5%).

His comment may not be the wisest, but it raises a relevant issue. If the US withdraws its nuclear protection, should it be replaced, and by what?

Wasn't there a MAGA claim that layoffs in the public sector would be compensated by an employment increase in the private sector?

That sums it up! Nukes can only be countries' own weapons. The reason is that the one who sends nukes is the one who will be struck by nukes in retaliation. Will France or UK accept to be nuked in order to defend another country such as Germany, I doubt it. And as you mentioned, the EU is unlikely to react quickly as it is not a Federal state and there's no one with executive power. Defense is also currently not a prerogative of the EU. For both reasons evoked, it would require a new major treaty. I also doubt it will happen. The only solution would be nuclear proliferation in Europe, with the French transferring their independent technology to other countries, such as Germany or Poland. Of course, France is likely to negotiate something else in exchange.

More lying from Trump! It's American consumers and businesses who will pay this 20% tariff! 🙂

More winning..... 😆 Private employers shed 33,000 jobs in June https://adpemploymentreport.com/

Which countries? European countries that now have to increase their military spending? That's very unlikely. It may well lead them to decrease their aid budget, rather than increase it.

Quite interesting. 🙂 The GDP of the EU is around 2/3 of the US GDP. If you add the EU contribution and the individual contributions of EU member, you get a number which is much higher than the US contribution! QED!

They have allocated their aid budgets to other projects (or to a part of projects shared with usaid) and already started to finance them. And the projects they are financing also need that money. And a large number of them proportionally pay more than the US did. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/foreign-aid-given-as-a-share-of-national-income?time=earliest..2018

What should also not be forgotten is that it's the Americans who are paying these tariffs. It's like taking back with one hand what has been given with the other. People with money get tax cuts to buy a new BMW, but folks who can only afford cheap products from Asia are taxed with tariffs!

Which percentage?

No problem, they can still take yaba it's more discreet.

Using an 'intellectual' expression doesn't hide the vacuity of your comments...

Budgets are already allocated to programs. It cannot be changed at once. And, as usual, you have no proof that half is wasted...

Unemployment is at 4.2%. It's not particularly low. Inflation is a bit lower, but it's due to OPEC, not Trump. Food inflation is higher than under Biden despite Trump's promises. GDP growth is decreasing and is expected to be half the level reached under Biden.
