It's always something, isn't it? I need to learn to avoid these topics that will now probably run 40+ pages and end up having no effect on me. Back to the Bangkok River Flood Level thread.
And, as a result, there will be a natural inclination in the UK to prop up Starmer and criticize the US for interference in British affairs. Trump will only make it worse for those being harassed and locked up for social media posts.
I came to Thailand right as the iPhone was being introduced and before it and its competitors were commonplace. Life was less hectic. Still had access to digital archives and banking with online desktop computing. More ATMs were present. More bank branches were available. Immigration extensions were easier to go through. No cameras on every street. Faster and easier to rent houses. It was simply better.
No alternative now. Either Trump is an idiot or a Putin accomplice or both. It is true that Europe needs to take the lead in Ukraine and the US needs to shore up Asia. But Trump isn't doing either. Instead, he's threatening Japan, Taiwan, and failing on the Philippines. And wants a Nobel Prize for peace.
Now tariffs are delayed until July 9. Crash stocks on Friday, and buy while everyone is selling, and pump stocks on Sunday with a "delay." He played this dump and pump game all throughout his first administration. Insiders making fortunes, while the country and its businesses burn to the ground. Self serving pile of dog crap.
Yea, he's finally done it. I've always held GW Bush as the worst president in American history who inflicted the most damage. But Trump over the past couple of weeks has surged past him to become the worst by an easy margin.
How can any business plan to do anything, outside or inside the US, when Trump's chaotic policy of tariffs up, then tariffs down, then up, then down, then up is changing based on his personal whims?
