Threaten and posture, then back down when somebody stands up to you.

GM cuts and pastes.

So what is wrong with the last trade agreement Canada negotiated with Trump ?

I am amazed that GM hasn't quoted today's Daily Telegraph headline; "Trump blinks first in trade war. 90 day suspension of tariffs as he bows to criticism from key backers". Or the Daily Mail.... "Trump blinks" The I... "Trump backs down in global tariff war"

Prizes

Considering that last week it dropped 2200 points in one day, not really worth boasting about.

Trump says that the US is making $2Bn a day from the tariffs, oblivious to the fact that it is US importers, and ultimately consumers, that are paying this.

She owes over $300 thousand dollars as a result of a failed election bid in 2022, most of which is supposed to have been paid back to donors within 60 days because the donations were actually in breach of electoral regulations.

But the results didn't matter, it was the style of football that was important.

Trump says that "all these countries are ringing us asking for a deal.......kissing my arse...". Goodness only knows when these deals are likely to be negotiated or how long those negotiations might take. The last trade deal successfully negotiated and concluded by the US was the USMCA agreement with Canada and Mexico, signed off during Trump's first term; it was a reworking of the existing NAFTA agreement yet still took 2 years.

Of course the players loved him, they got paid and didn't get dropped despite shit performances every week.

A Trump appointed Judge has ruled that the Associated Press should be restored to the White House press corps after it's exclusion over refusing to rename the Gulf of Mexico was deemed in breach of the First Amendment.

Or, as Dave Gorman would have it.....

"One for the ages".

Elon Musk on Peter Navarro ; "Navarro is truly a moron............ Navarro is dumber than a sack of bricks."

So he is half an Adam Armstrong.

The Supreme Court has ruled that whilst Trump can use the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged gang members, they must be given due process and the opportunity to challenge the decision in Court.

Republican Congressman Keith Self said in a Congressional committee meeting "It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion" - a direct quote from............... Josef Goebbels. ( Self even acknowledged this ).

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2lzjnj79rdo "A billionaire backer of Donald Trump has urged the US president to pause his recently announced trade tariffs, or risk "a self-induced, economic nuclear winter". Amid market turmoil, hedge fund manager Bill Ackman said the president should take three months to allow countries to renegotiate their trading relationships with the US." "In his post on X, external on Sunday, Mr Ackman acknowledged the Trump argument that the global trade system had "disadvantaged" the US. But, he wrote, tariffs that Trump had imposed were "massive and disproportionate", and did not distinguish between American friends and enemies."

We hoped that Juric could get a different tune out of the squad, but all that happened was we went from beginners' keyboards to beginners' strings.

I wonder " What is a point"?

Send the whole bloody lot of them, on one way tickets.
