Liberation Day: when Trump freed the economy from the burden of functioning.

"We buy Australian beef, but they won't buy American beef...."

Yeah Don - they have loads of good beef!

How long before he realises that the world just doesn't want to buy American shit, because.... it's shit!!

@lewisgoodall.com - re: Trump having an economic plan. I don't get why you and Jon didn't discuss the Mar-a-Lago Accord?

It's the modern day equivalent of the Plaza Accord on steroids.....

Trumps failed Ukraine strategy could have horrific consequences.

He and his Tech Bros dreamed of Absolute Technocratic Power - but China will make it a reality..... 😕

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war!

How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

Less than 20% of Germans voted for Nazis.
Compared to nearly 50% of Americans.

This is a brilliant and realistic appraisal by @lewisgoodall.com of the geopolitical switcheroo that Trump has performed in a month, siding with Putin against Ukraine (and the Liberal West in general).

To his list of 5 reasons I’d add a 6th:

The belief that financial gain justifies any action.

Ukraine having an election under martial law is unconstitutional. It's as if the safeguard exists for a reason - so that the aggressor can't attempt to insurrect democracies, spread misinformation, and place a puppet in Washington.. Cough.. I mean Kyiv!
Guess thats too close to the bone for Trump!

So now we wait to see how Trump sets about pretending he isn't the biggest moron in the world right now with an economic strategy from a 19th Century handbook.

And depressingly, people will believe whatever excuse he comes up with...... Ffs.

Obnoxious man enters a club with $5 entrance fee:

"You should pay me to enter!"
"No, you pay us!"
"No, you pay me!"
"No, you pay us!"

The queue gets bigger. Nobody wins!

Trump Tariffs in a nutshell.

If I were Canada, I wouldn't accept the delayed start to the proposed Oil Tariffs. I'd impose them from day one, take the initial hit, and play Trump at his own ridiculous game.

Wall Street won't accept more than a fortnight of this self harming trade war from an Economically Moronic President!

Rachel Reeves: "We have been listening to the concerns that have been raised by the non-dom community."

Me: Why? 🤔🤦

"The Mexican Cartels are terrorist drug gangs. But also, I'm going to pardon the creator of an international online drugs marketplace."

I literally can't keep up with the hypocrisy or randomness...

Historic couple of weeks ahead of us: a Lame Duck President will pass the baton to another Lame Duck President. It might feel chaotic, but Washington is already thinking of 2028. #LameDuckTrump

At some point @teamlabouruk.bsky.social is going to have to say the word #Brexit.
Not as an excuse.
Not for political gain.
Just a statement of fact that it has 100% f*cked us!
