Ronald Reagan’s most famous quote that changed the world: ‘Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.’

Donald Trump’s most infamous quote that triggered another Great Depression: ‘Mr. Commerce Secretary, put up this wall.’

😅 He won by a larger margin in both the Electorate and won the largest popular vote in History. 👍👍👍👍👍

     Biden won the most popular votes ever cast in a Presidential election--81 million plus in 2020.  Trump got 77 million plus in 2024. That's a distant second, not first.    In 3 presidential elections, Trump has never received even 50% of the vote.   Now in his second term as the worst president in US history, he is, once again, a minority president, wanted by less than 50% of the voters--the majority of whom seem to be regretting their choice--as well they should.

Do you always lie?? A MAGA trait perhaps or is it just that you are unable to understand that trump is a compulsive liar, so you want to follow his dumb lying traits?

 

And as @Lacessit rightly said......Biden got 81 million popular votes in 2020, Trump had 77 million in 2024. Not so smart on your part. But then as a trump supporter you are not going to be smart are you S Mart!!!

Anyway, the basic R and D is NOT coming out of Thailand.

These assembly factories in Thailand can be moved OUT....

At the drop of a hat.

 

And, probably soon, the assembly process will become completely automated.

 

And then, these factories can be moved almost anywhere.

 

Thailand is just an assembly point.

 

You are clearly out of your league...just stop.

What about all the absurd high import duty rates in Thailand ? So it's plainly tit-for-tat. As usual, it will always be the common people who may feel the pinch at first. But the big risk for the world is that all the foolish brands will start to shut down their production lines in Asia or Europe and move in the US thinking it's the only market in the world. Europe and Asia a paying the price for their foolishness and for depending so much on America all these decades. But there is always China who is smart and will be the next global player.

What about Norfolk Island. Slugged with a 29% tariff.  Part of Australia.  Zero tariffs on the USA.  Clearly the guy is bonkas!   

 

BTW strike me roan if you find bonkas in a Septic Dictionary.   
 

 

Norfolk Island, despite forming an external Australian territory, was slugged with a 29 per cent tariff from the Trump administration.

Locals have been left confused about the move, with the island's administrator saying its main business is tourism.

I don't like Trump. But on this i agree.

 

We've seen it in the UK ... the vast swathes of the country have had their industries taken away, that were providing jobs, and exported to Vietnam and Bangladesh for cheap labour. 

 

I believe it does make mass bulk ordering of clothes cheaper, but the main profiteers are the owners whose profit margins go massive.  

 

If you can get industries back your own country, and reduce the tax rate burdon of them then it's a positive outlook.

 

For example get clothing manufacturing back to the UK. Reduce all business rates for anyone opening a factory, reduce the tax burdon for these companies. THen all you have for companies is the wages essentially. No tarrifs and you get a local market. The cost of shipping products over from Vietnam can be closer.

Disney share price is pretty where it was July 2022 . and has hovererd around the same price since then.

 

Slight fluctuations and falls are normal.

 

People were going crazy saying Tesla had collapsed last month, but then it quickly rose. If you follow closely you get these up and down troughs all the time.

 

Whilst Disney isn't as high as it was during it's peak years in 2021, it's about the normal price it has been for a decade, and certainly far higher than it's lower years.

Man I would hate to be a guy from the US living in S.E. Asia now. This could get VERY ugly fast .

Very mysterious.

 

Someone.

 

And, as well, very cryptic.

You really should not be afraid to say what you mean, and state it clearly.

Because, as your comment stands now...

 

Your comment clearly says absolutely nothing....

Let's be clear.

 

Say what you mean.

No point in having everyone guess what you MIGHT mean, if, in fact, you had intended to convey any meaning, at all.
