Majority of Thais Doubt New Cabinet’s Ability to Cut Trump’s Tariffs
A majority of Thais are sceptical of the new Cabinet's ability to cut US tariffs. Suan Dusit University releases a poll indicating widespread doubts. A Suan Dusit nationwide poll reveals stark doubt among Thais, with over half questioning the new Cabinet's ability to convince US President Donald Trump to reduce hefty retaliatory tariffs. From July 8 to 11, 1,191 respondents voiced their concerns, with the results unveiled this weekend. Shocking figures from the poll suggest that 50.63% of respondents are not confident the government can tackle Trump's punitive tariffs, with only 28.97% hopeful of success and 20.4% undecided. This sentiment is further echoed in their belief that Trump’s 36% tariffs could severely impact Thai products, with 50.04% expecting significant damage. The performance expectation compared to its predecessor isn’t shining either. A substantial 41.56% of respondents foresee a decline, 35.01% remain unsure, while a hopeful 23.43% anticipate improvement. This pessimism casts a shadow on the Cabinet's start. Priorities outlined by respondents for the new government highlight urgent economic and social issues. Addressing living costs and economic woes tops the list for 65.41%, followed by support for agriculture at 52.73%, battling corruption at 50.80%, education reform at 49.12%, and bureaucratic modernisation at 48.03%. The public's expectations underscore the pressing challenges faced by the administration. Concerns about the new Cabinet mirror a deeper mistrust. A majority, 62.97%, worry about ministers' backgrounds, while 60.62% fear internal divisions could destabilise governance. Additionally, 57.35% feel the Cabinet is disconnected from everyday struggles, painting a complex picture of the challenges ahead. The poll paints a vivid image of a public torn between scepticism and the desire for change, emphasising the new Cabinet’s uphill battle. With the significant issues outlined, only time will tell if Paetongtarn and her team can sway public opinion and tackle Trump’s tariffs effectively. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Nation 2025-07-14 -

How many fake teachers do you actually know personally? Do you realize most adults drink? How many teachers do you have evidence of getting in fights? Check the stats on how many people drink and drive here. Creepy to you might be normal to others, and how many creepy people do you actually know that are teachers? How do you know anyone doesn't have a degree unless it's somehow proven? To stay here you can't be broke, or at least not for long, unless you stay under the radar, which teachers can't How would you know if they don't have a clue how to teach unless you know any personally, and that would only be a very limited amount personally wouldn't it? Back in 2015 you have experience with ONE teacher that did those things, so again, you can't lump all teachers into that category can you? -
