This does not make sense to me the PM leaves #downingstreet to go visit the president of another country at his golf club in Your country?
Seriously.

It would seem that #POTUS is committed to creating news grabbing headlines on a daily basis just to keep the attention on himself.
4 years from now who will take responsibility for the economic damage and diminished influence globally

An #Economy being held hostage to the whims of an individual who sees no need for any other thing but a transactional relationship with the World
#America is sleepwalking into who knows what.

I long for a time when our leaders can call out wrongdoing instead of enabling it. What #Trump and #Vance did to #Zelensky is extremely worrying, unfair and a blemish to democracy. how did we get here??

While I’m not a fan of #cnn there is a critical point being made here. What happens when the Human ‘weapons’ turn on their creator. How does an individual with no intelligence experience make critical decisions that could potentially damage the country’s #intelligence apparatus for decades to come?

The CIA’s 7th floor is home to top leadership.

Some officers are quietly discussing how mass firings and buyouts already offered to staff risk creating a group of disgruntled former employees who might be motivated to take what they know to a foreign intelligence service.

How Trump’s government-cutting moves risk exposing the CIA’s secrets | CNN Politics

The CIA is conducting a formal review to assess the potential damage caused by an unclassified email sent to the White House in early February identifying some officers by first name and last initial,...

Approximately 1 in 3 people living in the capital are affected by the #Trumplonmusk cuts. That’s huge for the unemployment stats for any city let alone the Nations capital. It feels like #trump and #elonmusk have inadvertently setup a trap to impoverish #DC.

Another day another 1600 lives adversely impacted by ideologically biased policies.

#Trump’s first month and few days seem to be a distant echo of the Amazon movie “Civil War”. There is no way that thousands of #federal workers including Trump supporters are just going to go and sit at home quietly.
Its astonishing just how badly #GOP are responding to the chaos

Sam Odekunle @samuelodekunle.co.uk · Feb 18

At some point the unemployment figures from the federal worker purge will start to create #macroeconomic pressures. Is this conversation happening?? #DOGE

Sam Odekunle @samuelodekunle.co.uk · Feb 6

On a separate note. #deepseek is dangerous and biased and should not be used in any sort of production environment. Try asking “who is Xi Jin Ping” and watch the answer

Musk has always been clear about his agenda. Musk can never become president as He wasn’t born in #USA he can however use money and access to influence government in a very unbalanced way. #Trump is his tool. It’s unfortunate that #potus can’t see this yet

Sam Odekunle @samuelodekunle.co.uk · Feb 5

An #American living in Hong Kong as of yesterday, can’t send his daughter, who lives in stateside, a present for her birthday because the #uspostalservice is not receiving large packages from #China and #HongKong
Surely there is something illegal about this.

Ramaphosa calls #Musk to calm #Trump down is the dumbest thing I’ve heard the leader of an independent country do. This is why #African Leaders are not respected on the world stage. Pandering to a bully never ends well!!

Sitting here watching with extreme disappointment at how #governments are teaching their citizens the wrong way to deal with a bully!! And we thought #putin was a problem.

#Tariffs #TarrificTrump

Sam Odekunle @samuelodekunle.co.uk · Jan 31

Has the issue #Trump loves the media attention. It’s an addiction of some sorts. He loves the ratings. And the #MSM keep feeding the addiction as if there’s nothing else to report.

The worst thing about this whole debacle is the families of the victims having to watch their memories being used as a political football. Is this #America now?? Really?

This is definitely worth a read.

I’m in the mood to watch a #movie that’s intellectually challenging….any ideas!

There will be a point of No safe return when it comes to all things Musk…

AFP News Agency @en.afp.com · Jan 23

The gesture was controversial enough, but now come the sub-controversies: Elon Musk is trolling Wikipedia and encouraging its defunding after a description of his recent flourish, seen by some as a Hitler salute, appeared on the encyclopedic website.

You’ve got to respect the fact that He is doing what He said he would do no surprise.
What every American needs to be watchful for is the systematic and quiet erosion of civil rights that has echoes of 1932 Germany…

Just remember He said He will be dictator for one day. This was rhetoric before he won.
So let’s not be surprised tomorrow or the day…

Sooo….when do we actually stop saying #happyNewYear
I’ve always wondered

Sam Odekunle @samuelodekunle.co.uk · Jan 5

It’s worrying to see just how many people want to speak but just how many of these so called influencers truly understand some basic principles of just life. The absence of critical thought is worrying
