.Hmmm...the plot thickens. No doubt
Musk is taking extra ketamine to help work through the loophole. I know, they'll fire some people and bribe others!

In January 2022 I was finally persuaded to move some of my savings (not a lot, as I don't have a lot) from a cash ISA to a stocks and shares ethical ISA - to "make your money work for you" apparently.
Then Putin invaded almost the next day - and the value plummeted. It's taken 3 years to get back to something approaching parity, and I considered putting it back into a cash ISA, but didn't. Now Trump and his tariffs have had the same effect.
I won't be doing this again.

I’ve got some ideas.
1. Trump negotiates an end to the war in Ukraine
2. Trump negotiates as end to the war in Gaza
3. Trump drops all tariff threats ‘to make the world a better place’
4. Trump rules out an historic third term
5. Inflation tumbles in the US as stock markets recover and Trump’s trade strategy brings increased wealth to those that voted for him.
And one for the Daily Star:
6. Rumours of Trump’s micro-penis finally proved wrong.
What I wouldn't give to see this. The stupid deranged orange twat being dragged out of the wreckage of his Tesla and hauled off to a lifetime in jail after a 30 minute slow motion car chase towards mar a lago.

Nottingham Forest found to have fielded an ineligible player in FA Cup tie versus Brighton
And the Express:-
7. Trump to release CIA confirmation of Diana conspiracy.
8. Trump confirms it will snow for 30 consecutive days this Xmas.
Yes, it's been an unforgiving rollercoaster the past few years
Buy oil.
And guns.
And when you have sorted out your civil defense you can think about how to invest what's left of your money.
Re your first post . . . . There was a lead weight which made the ball oscilate . . . .he would have saved it. . . . .
9. THat would be the purest
Guns yes, but if Trump triggers a global depression then oil won't be worth much and then Russia may go pop....hmmm...

Was it Peter Bankes?
Orange-utan is calling tariffs announcements Wednesday “Liberation Day”. For over a century equity investing means everything to the average American, in planning their retirement or key future family events. Unlike other Republican presidents, he’s literally damaging hopes and dreams.
Rather gallingly - my in-laws are from Barrow, and of course any stock they buy is BAE! We took the ethical route.....

Thats not exactly right, That loophole isnt closed and it hasnt been legally tested. The election of the President and VP comes under the 12th ammendment, but its how the 12th correlates also to the 22nd ammendment, that many legal brains argue, would allow Trump to be appointed as VP, and then as VP be eligible to assume the presidency if the elected President was to resign. Some believe it would unconstitutional. It would ultimately be decided by the pro Trump supreme court and I wouldnt be as confident as you seem to be.

Interaction with the Twenty-second Amendment
The Twelfth Amendment explicitly states the constitutional requirements as provided for the president also apply to being vice president and the Twenty-second Amendment bars a two-term president from being elected to a third term, but it is unexplicit whether these amendments together bar any two-term president from later serving as vice president as well as from succeeding to the presidency from any point in the United States presidential line of succession.[22][23] Some contend that the Twelfth Amendment concerns qualification for service, while the Twenty-second Amendment concerns qualifications for election, and thus a former two-term president is still eligible to serve as vice president.[24] Some legal scholars propose the contention above would inadequately consider the opportunity it affords for one to serve as president more than two terms plus "[acting] as President, for more than two years," resulting in a violation of the Twenty-second Amendment.[25][26] The interaction between the two amendments has not been tested, as no twice-elected president has ever been nominated for the vice presidency."
