Donald I, emperor of the world.

I see Rump is playing tariff whack-a-mole again. 25% on Apple, 50% on the EU.
Apparently not happy with the UK deal either, and may have to revisit it.
Is there any point in negotiating with this muppet?

No.

Next question?

It′s time to play the music
it's time to light the lights
it′s time to meet the muppets on the muppet show tonight.
It's time to put on makeup
it's time to dress up right
it′s time to raise the curtain on the muppet show tonight.

Too late. He'll be away to do his most important thing, playing golf.
The music restarts with his Sunday night ramblings.

Singling out a specific corporation is an interesting one. It makes it really quite easy to calculate an award of damages.

Particularly as there is apparently no way Apple can move production to US, not enough people with necessary experience.

Plus cheaper for Apple to pay the tariffs than pay what US staff would need.

I'd have thought targeting a specific company, specific product line would not be legal, bit like President deciding one CEO should pay a higher income tax rate than another on the same income.

But he won't follow it through, US consumers paying significantly more for their iPhones than people in that EU (whose only purpose is to fück over the US).

What happened to non-US film production other than getting the world focusing on Trump.

Leftist politicians are pretty much all the same.

Barron didn't get into Harvard but Obama's daughter did. This'll explain everything.

BBC Newsnight last night had Mary Trump in the studio being interviewed by Faisal Islam. She was asked/talking about how countries should stand up to Trump and she was saying (with reasoning) that the only way is to stand-up to him. Be obsequious and might work in the short term but he'll be back for more. Basically "Yes sir" to him and he knows you are easy and bullying you to gain something in the future is easy and gives him the "look what I've won ..." attention. And when interviewer raised Starmer approach she said it might have worked short term but he'll be back for more, expect ever higher tribute.
