President Trump

Anyone any wiser? A fucking flip chart has all the info.

I attended meetings in the 90's that featured such "aids" and were equally as uninformative as usually the chart presenter was feeding out scripted bollocks that bore no resemblance to the reality that followed - the tossers who presented hoped the power point would fix things but what they never got was that it was the content not the presentation that made the difference. You could measure the desperation by what was on offer - cheap biscuits = early days . Posh biscuits = really gonna have to try here. Cakes and donuts = come on guys we are trying really hard please buy into this shit
 
he won in the USA - He is not President of the world - tell him to fuck off - refuse to export to the USA so he raises no tariffs - he will leave office or die so things can then be rebalanced.
BTW - saw a thing today - the most popular vehicle in the USA is the Ford F150 truck. It has 45% US made parts and 55% imported parts. Some bits are imported from Canada for assembly ( tariff) then sent back to Canada for sub assembly ( reciprocal tariff on the Ford subsidiary importing it ) then sent back to the USA ( further tariff ) to be incorporated into the finished article. He has no idea about what he is doing

I think he exempted vehicle parts a few days after he brought in those tariffs.
 
Ego trip after ego trip - anything for a sound byte.
'I call it one big beautiful bill - you can call it that, if you like...'
I wish the media wouldn't pander to his unquenchable vanity/insecurity.
Even hearing them refer to today as 'Liberation Day' sticks in my craw.
 
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is warning countries not to respond to Donald Trump's latest round of tariffs.

"My advice to every country right now is, do not retaliate," Bessent tells Fox News.

"Sit back, take it in, let's see how it goes. Because if you retaliate, there will be escalation," he warns.

"If you don't retaliate, this is the high watermark."


Sounds very much like the sort of talk his Ruski mate gives!
 

25% tariffs on auto imports​

In addition, the president announced the US would impose a "25% tariff on all foreign made-automobiles".

Those tariffs would go into affect almost immediately, at midnight on 3 April.

Shame Derbyshire is too professional to say "actually yeah feel to f**k off you gaslighting, grifting little troll". There is absolutely no point trying to conduct a sensible interview with the likes of Gorka, it's a complete waste of everyone's time.

'Grifting little troll' is a perfect description of Gorka, and he's a smarmy **** with it.

Indian railways is a bit of a special case. Paying for the building thereof effectively bankrupted UK.

What, all 14,000?

How did building Indian railways bankrupt the UK?

All the evidence seems to be that Trump genuinely believes this shit.


Just for instance:





He's appointed so many sycophants, entirely dependent on his patronage, that it doesn't matter how damaging the policy is, it's not as damaging to them personally as being dumped by Trump would be.

Am I really reading that Trump thinks that he is putting tariffs on Fentanyl? And by doing so he will make it unaffordable?
I cannot believe he is that stupid.

And Fentanyl from Canada? I think I read that the amount from Canada amounts to basically a car boot full.
Made in China, "imported" via Mexico mainly by Americans.

What is Fentanyl? Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use as an analgesic (pain relief) and anesthetic. It is approximately 100 times more potent than morphine and 50 times more potent than heroin as an analgesic.
Approved by the FDA, can be prescribed. Massively more addictive than heroin.
Anyone wonder why people get addicted so easily.
Drug peddlers mix a little with say cannabis and hey presto, that dealer is now offering highly addictive cannabis.

I'd like to see the BIK rate for Tesla cars to be raised from the current 2% to equivalent BMW Merc cars of around 31%.
As of all new cars registered tomorrow.

Not sure how many!
I’m sure the HoC debates can be googled. The cost numbers are astounding. It became a cause celebre.

I’m waiting for him to think that the “English” language should be renamed “American” language (Yes, I know we have English (UK) and English (US)) but he will think it should be renamed “American” due to them being responsible for English being used so commonly due to TV/Movies/Music produced over there…not to mention Commercial reasons…

I think that’s a great idea, nobody can understand a thing you island folk say anyway
