Surely the BBC have made this up to malign the genius that is Trump?

'Trump criticised the "ridiculous" amount of time he says it takes to wet his hair in the shower'

BBC News - Trump signs order to 'make America's showers great again'

Shirley he just takes his hair off and washes it in the sink.😂🤣

The US will have an enormous success, the biggest ever, out of this world, squillions of money will flood in.

Meanwhile, ordinary Americans will face massive inflation, reduced incomes, job losses, poorer health, worse education and will vote for him again.
Well between the orange rapist's claim of how many billions tariffs were raising for the US each day, and the claim by Der Auto Furher of how many billions were being saved through his activities, the total was around 1/3 of total government spending. These market people seem to know SFA.

To me one concerning aspect of Trump's recent actions beyong tariffs is that he seems unable to see risks to what he intends to do or is unable to mitigate those risks or to carry things out in a manner that reduces those risks.

And that he and his team can't identify those risks is concerning when he's also marching into several ongoing wars, etc.

I suspect he could have got to where we are now without the crashes and market grief had he gone about things with a clear aim and in a different way.That might have meant no Prime Time TV spectacular but what's he want. If it's attention grabbing can any of them justify the damage to so many people just for Trump's brief centre of attention time?

Even now the end goal seems to be frequently changing eg if it's to bring manufacturing back into domestic US then negotiating free trade deals won't achieve that. If it's about trade barriers then pushing companies to return manufacturing to US won't achieve that. Seems so much of what is happening doesn't have and clearly defined goal.

When you are Emperor Narcissist you don't have to justify anything to the plebs, or to foreigners. The only thing of any significance is what feels good right now.

"To tap a finger on the contract and say what needs to be signed now, I could only tell him: "Stop tapping your finger and let's talk in a substantive way." Probably, he expected a different dialogue, but I don't consider Ukraine a third—rate country, we should communicate on equal terms," Zelensky said.

Now I am pondering if The Don asked if Zelensky has a horse.

China up to 125% tariffs on US goods.
Where will the willy waving stop?

Also interesting suggestions that the spike in US Treasuries yields has been caused by Canada, the EU and Japan selling off holdings to spook the TT. Certainly has worked if true.

Canadian business man on CNN said USA should raise tariffs to 400%. China steal intellectual property, copy and flood markets with cheap price products.

I'm now seeing him as Dr Evil demanding 125% and Vance as Number 2 whispering in his ear that isn't enough so the next demand will be 100 billion percent.
