More likely he wants the Swiss able to play Fenders & Gibsons, eat God's own rib-eyes, drive blinged out Mustangs & Chargers and drink bourbon. Fair trade and an end to countries taking advantage of Uncle Sam here we come.

You think the Swiss don't have that option already? They can play Fenders & Gibsons, eat God's own rib-eyes, drive blinged out Mustangs & Chargers and drink bourbon, but choose not to.

Do you think imposing tariffs on imports of Swiss products into the US will change this?

I tell you what other Belgian chocolate is world class: Guylian. Their sea shells are pleasure for the palate and the eye.

 

😯 Please tell that you are joking! They are just about the most sickly-sweet creation known to man.

 

Imo most of the main stream Belgian chocolate makers e.g. Leonidas, Neuhaus are good and excellent value for money. Pierre Marcolini and Wittamer are ok but vastly overpriced. Much better - and better value - are the smaller, local artisan chocolatiers e.g. Sigoji, although they are obviously harder to come by.

But whatever the reason, if any, in his narcissistic brain, what he's doing remains the same.

He is indeed degrading the USA in a very radical way and very quickly as well. 

Decent Americans are horrified.

Maga cult members mostly don't realize it yet.

Self made billionaire, sleeps with porn stars, lingerie models, and twice(or thrice) elected President against the whole deep state and fake news media, owns the most valuable property in south Florida, living rent free in wokies heads. And you call him a moron? Presumably you achieved more in life?

Almost correct, other than the first 3 words.

 

Trump is not a self-made billionaire. He got a huge sum from his dad to start with, then of course had a large inheritance, and the rest he stole by not paying back the bank loans in his SIX fraudulent bankruptcies.

 

Good try..............no cigar

Fact check. 5 howlin' Pinochios. Trump never filed bankruptcy once. Like any serial entrepreneur he had ventures that failed. Omelettes and eggs my friend. Can we try keeping it real?😅

Please don't be so harsh on yourself, by admitting that you have no idea what you are actually talking about, and need to rely on other members who can hide your ignorance better.

With other members, do you mean you will now log in to an alternative user account, to reply to my post?

Rhetorical question, actually.

Im referring to Trump having never personally filed for bankruptcy, your claim he did is total BS. I havent the time to school you on the matter and you don't care for factual accuracy, only circle jerking nonsense about the man who the left have irrational fear and hatred for. Im not a psychiatric nurse.

In principle, Switzerland is a transshipment point for gold. Thousands of tons of gold come to Switzerland, are refined in refineries and then exported abroad.

 

However, it is important to note that in relation to the figures, the industry creates little jobs, and the value creation is manageable.

 

Switzerland produces class, not mass.

US produces gold too.

The Swiss have plenty of other countries to export to.

 

Audit Fort Knox too.

And Gold revaluation is openly talked about.

 

I don't see why it's a problem for Switzerland. China will buy all the gold they can refine. They are on a massive gold buying spree.

Throughout history gold has been used in palaces and by kings/rulers.

 

Even the Thai use it on their Wats.

 

I think Trump did a good job putting the gold in the oval office.

I would guess he means Switzerland 🙂

Very funny, 90% think that Switzerland has only chocolate, cheese, mountains and banks. Maybe now some have also found out that pharma is also playing a very big role for swiss economics. Next to Roche, Novartis and Lonza there is a huge amount of labs doing research only. I worked in quite a few of them, and it's unbelievable from how many different countries worldwide scientists are working there.

 

Specialized machine building is also a important export value. A small anecdote: Did you know that all Espresso machines from Starbucks worldwide are produced in Switzerland?

 

Swiss economy has had already quite a few shock moments in the past. But the economy always managed it. And all those that survived got better and stronger.

 

The biggest issue that Switzerland has, it doesen't belong to the EU. Something that I hope it will change once.

I have had some excellent dark chocolate while traveling in Russia, excellent beer also. Russia’s 5 most valuable export products in 2024 were crude oil, refined petroleum oils, petroleum gases, coal and unwrought gold.

Never had Russian beer or chocolate - will keep an eye out for it.

The U.S. constitution wasn't designed for a King or "Ruler" as president.

If you're American and think that's how it's supposed to be, you really had a crap education. 

If the U.S. ever gets past maga authoritarianism which sadly is not certain, I'm sure the first thing a new president of a recovering American democracy will do is to trash all the tacky crass gold of the Trump era into the dustbin of history where it belongs.

To avoid this, the "Founding Fathers" have decided that everybody should bear arms. =To chase away potentional Kings.

 

They had no perception that those arms could be used in a civil-war. 50% against the other 50%.
