Of-fen/Off-ten. Both forms are acceptable.

Proxy PM. How anyone could possibly argue against this is beyond me.

Thaksin will be throwing fits. His mates have paid good money to get this through parliament. My guess is they'll have to cough up more to grease the palms of the holdouts.

I was talking in the past hence the use of past tense.

I remember China putting large tariffs on Australian wine because the Aus PM had the tenacity to say Covid originated in China. Xi always acts like a little spoilt kid that doesn't want to share their toy.

Please remind me. Who is the PM?

Not much retaliatory tariffs from what I've seen. Only Asian country going to do this is China and that should not surprise anyone.

I'm sorry but you have to be trolling. You seriously can't be this stupid. Here's the thumbnail. Guess what the video is about? Oddly enough the same as this thread. BTW Thailand joins more than 50 countries to negotiate about the tariffs.

Once again the entire vid addresses the topic. I'm not going to clip it. As for the site being primarily about dialogue why is it that vids and images can be attached? Try thinking. It's like exercising your brain.

So nothing about Vietnam then? Nothing about Nike shares going up? Nothing about Israel? All this post of yours does is show you didn't watch the vid.

The video is the point. Had you have challenged your set in concrete anti Trump opinion and watched it you would've realized this. As for time stamping there's no point as the entire video is about tariffs and countries wanting to negotiate. Again had you have watched the YT vid you would know this.

The video is self explanatory, can stand alone without need of comment and is directly related to the topic. My guess is you didn't even look at it.

Poster can post vids and the vid is newsworthy pertaining to the topic of this thread, so up yours. This is what happens when tantrum throwing children don't get their way. They sulk.

Countries are negotiating with Trump, Why don't you look at the vid I posted. How can it be "losing to the rest of the world" when 50 countries as it is want to negotiate the rate of tariffs Trump's put on them?

Expats??????

I did. Complete rubbish and here's just one example: A grab from your OP which I'll italicize.. "....will the Trump regime realize that expats are outside his massive tax hike bubble and in response craft a financial penalty targeted at expats?" Expats? He's threatening the global economy with tariffs and for some reason you think Trump will consider expats, If you're serious you have a problem if you're not you're trolling,

Rubbish. What do you base this speculative comment on? MSM by any chance? There's no possible way that Ukraine will be totally annexed. Get a grip. As it is about 20% has been taken.

The premise is will particular individuals, in this case US expats, be shielded from the tariffs. Give me one good reason why this would happen when entire countries are thinking about what their going to do to minimise the tariffs and why this isn't trolling. If it's not trolling what's the alternative? A genuine question? Nobody can be this stupid.

To judge from his history of posts it's simply nonsense. Governments aren't shielded FFS why would expats be. Again I say this thread is simply trolling.

Are expats shielded from Trumps tariffs? I say again this is nonsense. These tariffs that Trump's imposed will have an affect globally. Positive or negative in the long run is speculative to say. What is certain is there's no special little bubble for US expats which the OP's questioning.

Thread topic is: Are U.S. expats shielded from the massive Trump Tariff Tax Raise on Americans? This is simply crazy. How can anyone actually think US expats would be shielded is beyond belief. The only logical reason is this is simply a troll thread.

How do any of the above frothing at the mouth Trump haters address the topic which is expats. You guys are crazy.

I've previously stated the markets will go bear. That's what they're doing. Investors worrying about their profits from cheap labor being eroded. The markets will level out and come back up. Let's see what they look like in a month or two. This is the Dow Jones over the last five years.

Beef: Agree about the beef in a way. Best beef is grass fed and the best of this in Aus comes from King Island. Not cheap but fkn great. Don't be fooled though, grain fed beef happens in Australia a lot. Cars: US cars are gas guzzlers. Sure the good ones are so if you believe the whole EV's will save the environment thing then buy a Tesla Ah! Wait. Musk is a Nazi. Can't do that. Better to buy a cheap Chinese EV from the worst dictator on the planet.
