April 12Apr 12 Trump is repoetedly "scrambling for help" in hid trade war with China by ... approaching Europe LMFAO. I guess being isolationist and insulting your allies wasn't a good move! Oh well. Enjoy!

He's made smartphones and computers exempt from tariffs as otherwise they would skyrocket in price given most are made in China!
April 12Apr 12 Yeah Trump is turning out to be a disaster. Tariffs that exclude items like that are tariffs that purely affect small business. I would have loved to have seen Apple try and sell iPhones at supposedly 50% more. Nobody would buy it. So many older models and alternatives out there which are not very different. They’d either be forced to sell at the same price or see huge decreases in sales. I suspect Apple knew the game would be up and put heavy pressure on Trump or promised various things. So far he’s made the Gaza situation a million times worse, got lost in his attempts to end the Ukraine conflict, made a mess of tariffs and now he’s doing PR for Douglas Murray after that guy made a fool of himself trying to defend Israel. If he’s not careful he will lose all support
April 13Apr 13 Trump has removed tariffs from electronics, the main things they import from China LMFAO!!!! Art of the Deal, indeed!!LIIAAAAAM LIAAAAAM!!!! When are these iphone factories returning to the US, then?? As those tariffs have now been removed. Is that now somehow good???

The tariff situation is just bonkers. Just reeks of people not understanding the global economy and how things work. Genuinely anyone with a basic understanding of economics could have seen what was going to happen.You can hate the system and want to be disruptive, but I think ultimately it weakens any negotiating hand.
April 13Apr 13 Ttump is clueless. That narcissistic beast should never, ever, ever hsve been elected, and THAT is why we are "uncharitsble". We don't run with fssh here on BJ. He's totally out of his depth and does everything for populism, just to feed his ego. He was given Dana White's brosphere hero's worship welcome on the UFC last night. Why? Bread and Circus. Distract everyone from hid atrocious handling of the economy and silly tariffs and trade wars. China didn't back down, but he did. He was clueless about Ukraine, showing total ignorance and a lack of understanding; he'd sort the war our in one day, didn't you know? He then blamed the invaded country for, um, defebning itself. Imagine him as Orange Cheeto in Chief during WW2...I haven't seen ONE good decision by him, oe ONE good take. Ever. Not once. So why would we EVER be charitable with this charlatan suffering from a narcissistic personality disorddr?
April 13Apr 13 The tariff situation he was doing well then messed it up. Same with the Gaza situation and somewhat the Ukraine situation. Trump went from America first to Israel first and that’s really where it all went wrong but it’s inevitable that country is completely run by AIPAC both parties and in the end nothing changes. They’re literally deporting people on student visas for criticising Israel never seen nonsense like it.

The tariff thing is still bonkers, mad to think how quickly that’s been abandoned.

Given his historical comments he truly believes in tariffs so that’s one thing he should see through but so far not so good

May 4May 4 President Donald Trump sacked his national security adviser Mike Waltz because he was plotting with Israel's leader to attack Iran, it was claimed last night.Mail OnlineTrump fired adviser for 'plotting with Israel's leader to...Mr Waltz, 51, was thought to have been fired because he accidentally added a journalist to a group chat about plans to attack Yemen's Houthi terrorist group.Could be spin but good if true
May 5May 5 If that is the truth fair play, they def aren’t the neo cons of the 2000s in these policies anyway!
May 5May 5 Vance now coming out and saying the Russia/Ukraine war isn't going to end anytime soon, Trump wanting to Tarriff films and re-open Alcatraz. Just more classic wisdomm and dumb ass ideas.The only saving Grace is when the car crash comes in to play, judging from what's happened in Canada & Australia, perhaps the UK might be able to keep Reform at bay.
May 5May 5 Problem is Davey is the most anti-Trump figure in UK politics so it wouldn’t necessarily benefit Labour
May 5May 5 There’s plenty of anti Trumpian in Labour too but they are the government so have to lick americas ass 🤣 like all Brit governments do.
May 5May 5 1 hour ago, Liam S said:Problem is Davey is the most anti-Trump figure in UK politics so it wouldn’t necessarily benefit LabourWhen the Lib Dems do well, Labour usually do well. I'd suspect come 2029 Labour would likely need the Lib Dems to govern in any case with a working majority.
May 8May 8 Trump said that an incentive for Putin to end the war could be Russia's possible admission to the '26 World Cup. The decision wouldn't be his though.
