To emphasise how bad he is in a shorter time period. That's what media does. People don't have endless time to read everything. Trumps lies. He obfuscates. That's the truth. You don't need the media to tell you that.

This thread is about tariffs, Cambodia dweller. The thread isn't about your totally off-topic generalised question about the "American economy". Stick to the subject and stop writing 💩 Two things you are unlikely to be able to achieve.

A quarter century later, another populist billionaire is promoting an updated, expanded and renamed NAFTA, which he rebranded as the United States Mexico Canada Agreement in an effort to avoid any association with the “giant sucking sounds” many Americans experienced from “free trade”. No mention that NAFTA was negotiated and signed under a Republican presidency, by George H W Bush. https://theconversation.com/the-giant-sucking-sound-of-nafta-ross-perot-was-ridiculed-as-alarmist-in-1992-but-his-warning-turned-out-to-be-prescient-120258 https://theconversation.com/trumps-tariff-threats-show-the-brute-power-of-an-imperial-presidency-247524

Amateur hour. Trump needs to get a grip on this idiocy. His whole team just seems.....not right. It's painful to watch.

How many deals have been done, Trumpettes? Is there a Plan B that gets all manufacturing back to the USA and at prices affordable to the American public? Isn't that his stated purpose for the tariffs? That's the reason why he is increasing them....to try to make it look more attractive to set up in the USA, as it is obviously not financially viable. So the tariffs charged to Americans on their goods, are they way he hopes to convince them. We won't rape ourselves if you do as we say. Some MAGA idiots are claiming the price of corn is cheaper in the USA now. Have the noticed the price of Thurian in Thailand? When there are problems with trade, there can be a surplus of goods that now have to be sold domestically. An unintended win for the consumer, not so good when you've got no money coming in from trading. Do you think that Trump finally understands that no one actually likes nor respects him. Not Putin, Not Xi, not Kim Do you think that threatening foes and allies alike is a good policy?

Speaking of nutters deflecting... Ask an American. One who lives in the USA, rather than slumming it in Cambodia. They won't be talking about the stock market, that's for sure. How is it in your Gamblers Anonymous meetings? Now we've done with that idiot, would anyone like to comment on the success or otherwise of Trump's tariff gambit?

I see the Trump nutters have been let loose again. On the subject of tariffs they start ranting and trying to deflect as usual. Derangement indeed. It's embarrassing to see how they try to cover up for him. 90 deals in 90 days. Where are they? How many have been done? Let's stick to the subject, rather than trying to deflect the subject on to something else. What comment do you have about the letters going out with regard to the tariffs? They make a mockery of Trumps continuous lies about countries rushing to do deals. It seems the majority have simply ignored him altogether, so he's reduced to writing poorly worded letters in a vain attempt to grab their attention. This is the reality. Trump fanettes here are like gamblers who fail to mention quite how much they lose, so try to deflect the conversation onto what they might have won. True derangement and a perfect anecdotal riposte to their continued gaslighting. Don't try to start any left/right nonsense with me. Stick to the subject. The success or otherwise of Trump's tariff gambit. Let's keep to known facts. Trump's fanettes won't be able to do it. They'll collapse under the pressure and start ranting about something else. Truth for them is a stranger. Just like their dear leader.

Container of peanut butter as little as 50 baht per jar. What's wrong with that? Unless you are referring to poor quality American imports. Then yes, they are overpriced...even if they were 50 baht. Do they have anything with no additives over there?

^^ For you... 💩 pie. Enjoy.

@scorecard Has the problem been solved? If not, what is the model description of your AIS Router? In the interest of science, I used an AIS mobile connection to get to the site you mentioned earlier. No problems with No VPN nor with VPN. So it seems there is a problem with your settings. We can take a closer look at those. But firstly, have you tried another Browser, as suggested?

I don't understand the post above mine. Where did Anutin state that Thai casinos are bringing more tourists in? I don't see that.

What does backpackers going to tourist ghettoes have to do with anything? Does that mean that the local people you meet along the way are somehow less valid? You remind me of those foreigners who would proudly announce that they "lived in Thailand". 😊 But yet, here you are posting nonsense most of the time. Where are your friends?

Really? I see it advertised from as little 4 baht per gram.

As a former backpacker, I have a completely different perspective. Without meaning to be disrespectful, quite a different experience to someone who married someone who came from a small village. They are probably used to communal living and sharing resources. So someone helping themselves to your cigarettes and sharing them out was probably elevating your status in the village. As one of them. Though to the uninitiated, the action might appear disrespectful. Thais are brothers, sisters, aunties, uncles... If you view yourself as an island, you are going to struggle. Treat everyone as if they are you. Be nice. Be kind, Be generous. Be lovely. Just don't be stupid. 😊 Don't bring your western ideals and assume that you are superior. When in Rome...

Keyboard warrior? That's your perception. A bit aggressive, don't you think? I make observations. It seems to me that someone who posts hate every day, is going to struggle to find normal balanced friends. Do you disagree?

No. Good people make friends anywhere. Pattaya is no different. If you cannot make friends, then the problem is you.

As I wrote before....mental imbalance. Perfect example on this thread. Their latest thing is 'negativity'.

Many of the regular posters here are either fake or suffering from some kind of mental imbalance. You don't ever see any kind of balance in their behaviour. It's almost always one sided. Like, for instance, a unnatural hatred of foreigners. So most of their posts will be along those lines. You will hardly see a post from them where they are actually showing kindness to others. No balance, just hatred, baiting, argumentative... how could someone like that have any real friends? That kind of attitude is too draining in real life. They don't have real friends, full stop. Let alone Thai men. Money is usually their pull.

Ironic that one of the most unpleasant people on this forum is complaining about foreigners being argumentative. You literally couldn't make up some of the madness we see on this forum every day. I doubt he has any friends at all for whom he doesn't pay.

I met a girl from Billingham 😊 Personally, I would not be so harsh when commenting. It's easy to sit in an ivory tower and criticise, but when you come from poverty, money can turn some people's heads. People need to look at themselves and ask themselves why they are ranting away with such hate, at something they have merely read. It's that tendency to want to feel that you are somehow better than them. Never mind the old men coercing young local women here to do sexual favours for money. That doesn't count. What counts is that they adjudge this young woman as somehow below them. When the glaring reality is that they are one and the same. Imperfect humans.

As usual, this forum is full of sad old men who view women as some kind of alien species that can only be bought. Not understanding that there is good reason why they are paying for their company. Look in the mirror baby. I'm not referring to superficial looks.

In a game of hypothetical questions, Lord Beaverbrook asked the American woman: “Would you live with a stranger if he paid you £1,000,000?” She answered “Yes.” “And if he paid you £5?” The irate lady fumed: “£5? What do you think I am?” Beaverbrook replied: “We’ve already established that. Now we’re trying to determine the degree.”
