This just enrages me;

Speaking alongside El Salvador president Nayib Bukele, Trump once again took aim at Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyyinstead, saying:


On Putin, his tone was distinctively different as he argued:


Ultimately, he concluded that Biden, Zelenskyy and Putin are all at blame for the war:
So, after his ramble, he concluded that Putin started the war! Hu-effing-rrah!

US President Donald Trump is in "excellent cognitive and physical health", says his White House physician.

In the first annual physical of his second presidential term at a Washington DC-area hospital, Trump was also found to have "scaring on the right ear from a gunshot wound", after an assassination attempt last July.

"President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function," his doctor, Captain Sean Barbabella, said in a memo.

Reassuring news from the Beeb.
His memo was probably overseen and written by Trump himself…..

They’ve recently changed:


From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
So f*** off Trump, and die.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Among other things Trump really wants the rare earths which are under Canadian soil, especially as China is it's main/ony supplier. Same applies to Ukraine and Greenland. Canada and Greenland have the added strategic benefit of control over the northwest passage as climate change reduces ice.

So, we're saying it's safest to travel in the middle section of Air China flights...?
But I thought everyone on NSC was ‘left wing’?

I wonder if Trump might consider normal friendly trade with countries that have rare earths, rather than aggression, threats and extortion 🤔.

I take a lot of Americans to the O'Hare, Midway & South Bend Airports. If they are traveling to Europe I tell them to say they are Canadian and learn the Canadian National Anthem. About 99% of Americans don't know the lyrics to the Canadian anthem.
To be fair how many Brits know the second verse of our national anthem

It's a lot more complicated than that.

787 is just one aircraft varient. 737 will have a lot more made in USA.

Besides, this is the manufacturing diagram, these things are sent to US for final assembly in S.Carolina and the finished flying aircraft is sold as a US product.

Unfortunately it's not IKEA and you can't buy the bits separately and assemble it yourself to avoid tariffs!

We're looking at Canada instead. Or, failing that, Canvey Island.
Just got back from Toronto. To say that Trump is hated seems a little understated!

When things are made in Italy, France & the UK, then sent to America, don’t they now attract tariffs?

Trump has put tariffs on countries, not goods which is the more usual way of trading.
