Sometimes its hard to see yourself as others see you.

Easy he’s living in the US we don’t want him and he admitted to taking drugs so that should invalidate his visa which would make him an illegal. Isn’t Trump supposed to be deporting all illegals

And they wonder why Reform UK is gaining so much support

With a bit of luck Trump will deport him to El Salvador. We could always try to encourage him to by making him Lord Trump of Turnberry

Entitled pompous prat

I was watching the TV this morning Ryanair has a lot of 737’s on order but they have said they will not pay the additional cost of the tariffs so who will pay Boeing and lose money or will Ryanair cancel the order and switch to Airbus

Another big unknown is whether Trump’s America actually has any allies left.

Trump has already declared economic war not only with China but the world. There are a lot of phone calls and meetings taking place not as Trump says begging him for a deal but between other countries making new supply chains seeking new markets and new suppliers cutting out the US altogether. All trading together without Trumps bull<deleted> tariffs.

Sounds just like a certain President I could mention

Why should 642 British soldiers have died for the USA in Afghanistan or the 2000 that were seriously wounded

At one time they were termed US forward bases there to protect the USA. It is about time all US forces were removed from Europe and their bases closed.

The only people who understand less about trade deficits than Trump are the MAGA morons who voted for him

As a non American is seems as though Trump is ruling more like a dictator with all his executive orders. Not something I would of expected or even imagined possible for a President of the USA.

Thanks for that. Appreciate it.

Serious question for our American friends who has the most power Congress, The House of Representatives The Senate or The President and could the President be removed stopped or overruled.

I just had my Covid booster on Saturday and last time I checked I was still alive.

Not to worry when everyone sees their 401k's evaporating big price rises on just about everything and unemployment rising the KKK will ride to the rescue torches blazing and hang him from the top of Trump Tower. On the other hand what just might happen is the Reps will be decimated in both the Senate and the House and Trump will be removed and tried for Treason. Or Trump will revive the great American industry with a new line of MAGA merchandise that will sell all over the world and he will have billions of new converts.

The GOP needs to grow some balls and reign him in before he does irreparable damage so far he's been reigning like a king with his executive orders.

Most likely other countries will take a sensible approach and counter with targeted tariffs that will maximise the damaging effect on the US while minimising the effects on their own citizens and economy. Everything that the US imports is now a minimum of 10% more expensive some are nearly 100%.

When Americans realise the affect these tariffs are going to have on their pockets they just might drag him out of the White House and Lynch him. A 50% tariff on a country doesn't mean that country pays 50% it means the American consumer pays the 50% and the 50% ends up in Trumps pocket Treasury.

The best way to predict the future is to study the past. Trump is repeating the policies of the 1930's not a particularly good idea. I've just looked according to Trump the UK imposes 20% tariffs on goods from America that is a lie. What he is refering to is the 20% VAT that is in effect a sales tax that is imposed on just about everything sold in the Uk no matter where it originates from even domestically produced. The EU has VAT as well Trump is obviously not being truthful with the figures or he's too thick to understand which I doubt, more like he's playing to the MAGA faithful and those either too stupid to understand or just accept everything he says as gospel When other countries retaliate and impose their own tariffs things are going to get very expensive in America of course that also means a lot more money going to the treasury collected from ordinary Americans that are paying the higher tariff prices. The result of all that will enable Trump to give massive tax breaks to the millionaires and billionaires that bankrolled him.

Trump has effectively just declared economic war on the world. I would hate to be an American right now.

I still have the memories though even those are fading nowadays I would struggle to even climb the stairs.

European defence stocks are way up one example Rheinmetall up 119%. Then there’s Rolls-Royce Holdings (UK) Thales Group (France) Leonardo (Italy) Saab (Sweden) BAE Systems (UK) all up - the main question to ask is have they peaked.

Or a snake they eat rats bugs and lizards too and they're more lovable they like nothing more than sneaking into bed with you at night.
