Of course, we're the only country Tough Enough. The Australians have their Rules football though.
Funny how the silly game sells out every time they play in one of the less manly countries in Europe
That is such a lump of nonsense. I guess you've never spent any time in the Muslim world, there are hundreds upon hundreds of millions of Muslims who are either moderate or totally secular, and do not in any way shape or form support Sharia nonsense, nor extremism, nor death to the West. If you don't believe that you need to get out more and do some traveling.
President Trump who fashions himself to be a great negotiator promised months ago that he would have trade deals done in weeks, yet so far we have one trade deal with the UK, and the framework for another one with China.
Is it possible he is not as good a negotiator as he claims he is, is it possible he has the wrong team working for him, or is it yet again possible that these tariffs were a really, really bad idea?
With just a week and a half remaining of a 90-day pause on President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs, the White House is running out of time to negotiate its long-promised trade deals that could bring some certainty to an increasingly uneasy economy.
For months, the Trump administration has said deals are imminent, working with 18 key partners to lower trade barriers while hundreds of other countries wait in line to get out from under the burden of higher tariffs. But the timeframe continues to shift.
“I’ve made all the deals,” Trump said in a Time interview in late April, saying trade negotiations with foreign partners were nearly complete. “I’ve made 200 deals.”
“The idea that uncertainty will be resolved early this summer appears to be completely dead,” Justin Wolfers, an economics professor at the University of Michigan, told CNN. “This means tariff aggression is not dead. That’s probably not super surprising but some of us allowed ourselves moments of optimism.”
Inflation is ticking higher, job growth is slowing and retail sales are sinking. That’s a concern, because consumer spending makes up two-thirds of America’s economy. I was recently back in the US I have a business back there and I can say with absolute certainty consumer confidence is the lowest I've seen it in the 30 years that I've had this business. So, where is all this heading? Is Trump simply going to continue to make America and far less relevant version of the nation that it used to be?
