He should stick to being a car salesman...

Hopefully Don has a go on one of Elon's rockets soon.

Trump has introduced his tariffs under the National Emergencies Act. Under that Act, Congress has the power to declare the "emergency" has ended, and if a motion is so proposed it has to be debated within 15 days.

Knowing that many Republicans are actually ideologically opposed to tariffs the Democrats have announced they will submit just such a motion, thereby forcing the Republicans into a choice they really don't want to make.

To counter this, and avoid this moral dilemma, the Republicans have passed their own resolution, declaring that the remainder of the 119th Congress will count as 1 day.

Politics over there is completely fucked. I don’t usually take much notice of it but had a look on X the other day and it’s polarised to the point where rational debate is just impossible. Trump could literally say anything and some people will support it because it’s their side, and vice-versa. It’s like the Brexit situation we had here but on steroids.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Trumps whole stance on Ukraine is shaped by the fact that Biden supported Kiev. Whatever the Democrats thought and did has to be wrong, actual facts are irrelevant. I guess they have always had the two party thing over there but I expect the whole thing has been turned toxic by social media.
