“If you were setting out to design a trade policy that would harm the American economy while undermining political support for its leadership, you might come up with something like the tariffs that Donald Trump just imposed on Canada, China, and Mexico.”

Trump’s Most Inexplicable Decision Yet

The tariffs are real, and they are spectacularly foolish.

Guys, I get that the instinct is to save face, but don’t downplay this as mere rhetoric. This is the U.S. abandoning all its international integrity and dismantling the post-war, rules-based order. You need to do something about it now!

This seems like pretty classic rhetorical posturing tbh, classic Trump cheap talk.

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and “TRUMP,” will never be able to settle. The United States has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe’s money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back. Why didn’t Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important to Europe than it is to us — We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation. On top of this, Zelenskyy admits that half of the money we sent him is “MISSING.” He refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden “like a fiddle.” A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left. In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only “TRUMP,” and the Trump Administration, can do. Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring Peace, and Zelenskyy probably wants to keep the “gravy train” going. I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died – And so it continues…..

Ukraine’s battle for freedom is the world's, too. If the rule of law is to triumph over tyranny and darkness, President Zelenskyy and his country need unwavering support.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.

The right's finger-pointing at "DEI" completely ignores positive selection: Black Americans who have made it to top echelons of historically white occupations -- fire chief or NYT columnist, to give two nonrandom examples -- are on average better than their white peers, because they've had to be.

Erik blev syg og skulle hjem fra Chile. Bagagen og benpladsen måtte han selv betale for

I november skrev vi om en KU-professors bureaukratiske besvær med en simpel arbejdsrejse. Det fik en læser til at kontakte os for at fortælle sin historie om de vanskeligheder, det gav ham, da han bestilte flybilletter på den måde, som hans arbejdsplads, Syddansk Universitet, kræver af sine ansatte.
