[Politics] Donald Trump, US President

[Bakero]

economic factor i hadn't appreciated, as import reduce in response to tariffs confusion, the goods that do come through will rise in price due to the lower supply. so even if tariffs are suspended, lowered, whatever, there will be some inflationary effect. imports apparently down 64%, similar to Covid.

and any local US suppliers will put their prices up too, as competition from abroad is removed, and supply/demand becomes an issue in the short term.

And we should also tell Trump that as you are acting in bad faith by adding these conditions to the trade talks, we have cancelled your state visit.

I think there's a golf course or two in Scotland that ought to be annexed

Would be great to hear Biden pop up and say "it wouldn't have happened if I was president"

Unfortunately, Biden is more like to pop up and say, "I was president?!"

Is there actually a date set for this state visit, or was it just a general invitation for some time in the future?

I read the other day that Antonio Salazar was replaced as prime minister of Portugal because he was in a coma after suffering a stroke. When he came out of the coma a month later, nobody bothered to inform him of this and he lived the last two years of his life geniunely believing he was still in power, with people around him playing along.

I thought then, a similar arrangement for Trump would be absolutely ideal.

This is what David Lammy had to say of Trump’s last State visit but of course he’s Head of the Foreign Office now



Much easier to be a conviction politician when your Party is in Opposition.

Jesus, poor bugger. I had a nasty accident and was in an induced coma and would hate to think people couldn't be honest with me. Anyway, can't stay on here, I've got a country to run.

He gave a televised speech 2 or 3 days ago. Even The Guardian covered it.

Yep, that sounds like a dictatorship

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

And Newsmaxxxxxx!

I saw the other day that the person who asked the question (it was more like a eulogy, really) about his medical was something to do with Mike 'My Pillow Guy' Lindell. That well-known media outlet...

But Trump is all about free speech. No-one knows more about free speech than him, he's the freeist speakerer in the world.

Best bigliest tremendous beautiful free speech. And he’ll sack/ban/sue/prosecute anyone who says otherwise.

No, we NEED that state visit to happen so the UK public can demonstrate their views on Trump which will then be televised around the Word. *


* possibly not on Fox News though.

Down the road he’s going to cause the mother of all USD bond crises, the moment he makes political interest rate cuts after he’s free of honest Jerome Powell. The headline of temporarily lowering mortgage rates, in this case would bear little relation to the damage to global bond market sentiment in Trump trashing the prior US reputation of sound, independent monetary management. The interest rate demanded to lend to the US government would increase.
