Donald I, emperor of the world.

So you're saying I might need to increase the tariff to incentivise moving to a home based food production model?

If you are in danger of running out of food, simply annexe a neighbours garden, preferably one producing the food you need)

 

[Blazing Saddles]

So the baseline 10% tariff has been put in place for 90 days………but given this is Trump, it could last 90 minutes.
He’s so far gone, they need to turn the Oval Office into a padded cell.

Do genuinely wonder if this episode will sow the seeds of Trump's fall. Not because of all the 'little people' he's shafted, but because Republican politicians are now having to mop up his vomit and at the same time try to explain to the nation why the vomiting was such a great idea.

As U turns go, this one will be quite hard to explain... not that they won't try, at least in public.

It makes the Truss Lettuce gambit look like a masterstroke of political assassination, and does give me a little pride in the UK's sense of humour.

Trump and Musk tell lies and Fox repeats them without questioning.

To be assimilated and regurgitated by their endlessly credulous assault-rifle toting Red Cap Cultists. And all the bin-burning MAGA wannabes in the UK.

I would hope - maybe forlornly - that if he U-turns on his U-turn, that Congressional Republicans and in the Senate will find the courge to say enough's enough.

Haha, who am I kidding? But if this doesn't make them realise he's killing both the US and the Republican Party, nothing will.

He's made a massively inflationary tax into the relatively sane seeming option.

He wants it to raise money.

 

[briantrumpet]

Who was I kidding? "Brilliantly executed". He'd have said that if Trump had crapped in his pants and somehow not wiped his own face with them.

No no it's because he's had 70 calls to negotiate. Okay, 68 were missed calls from Keir Starmer, one was from Vietnam and the other was Mark Carney telling him to fark off. But look it's a start okay?

Wouldn’t surprise me if his entourage were coining it in with a bit of insider trading.

AOC openly admits her fellow politicians do insider trading.

How come so many life career politicians on the left predominantly, earning around $100k per year as a senator, governor etc have tens and tens of millions in personal wealth?

Democrats literally importing voters

Why yes, famously left wing politician Donald Trump only yesterday said was a good time to buy.

That's not insider trading. Being given confidential information about businesses ahead of the stock market is insider trading.

Openly announcing is not
