Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already (14 Viewers)

If it was Biden that had been coming out with all of this shite everyone would just accept that he'd lost the plot.

Listening to him go on in the unedited TV footage isn't that different to Biden. The stuff about Hunter Biden's bathroom was hilarious.

Won’t they just make it more expensive for jus consumers to buy stuff
And where that stuff is stuff that is a need an not a want isn’t he just being a litttle stupid

He either doesn’t understand how tariffs work or doesn’t care how it will affect US citizens (or both).

Yes some US manufacturers may benefit a little (and that’s debatable), but US citizens are going to be bearing the brunt of the inevitable price increases.

Why didn’t he just tell Americans not to buy as much

There’s also the speed at which the US could ramp up their domestic manufacturing with limited reliance on external raw materials. All well and good (well, it’s not, but just a turn of phrase) trying to make your domestic produce more competitive but if you don’t have capacity to support the demand it’ll just bring everything to a halt.

It’s all a bit of a balancing act of whether the US imports are more ‘necessary’ than their exports. Without knowing the balance of trade, I’d suggest that “electricity” (lol) is going to trump anything they’re exporting. May be wrong.

Fair to say the USA needs more stuff than canada does the other way but if USA doesn’t but the stuff is there another market Canada can sell to?

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

I read somewhere that Canada is the only country capable of supplying the amount of potash that america needs for fertilising their crops. Trump really doesn't seem to think about stuff in much depth does he.

So , not far how far this has progressed given the date. A Coup?

Suggesting that the US election result was statistically impossible.

I tend to not believe anything these days. Even when my Emma tells me she loves me.

Is it an age thing? I’m constantly skeptical about 99% of things. The other bit…whatever percentage it really is, I’m not sure…

 

[Otis]

You definitely get more cynical with age. Stopped trying to change the world and given up on the theory that the CIA killed Marilyn Monroe and Bob Marley.

Ironic really given the only time that Article 5 has been invoked was when Europe came to the US' aid.

Trump is literally whacking tariffs on loads of countries to restrict imports and move jobs back to the USA.

Well, the real reason appears to be economic conquest

Other than some aspects of his foreign policy I don’t think I’ve said anything especially complimentary about The Donald have I Charles?
