In Berlin today and went to the Topography of Terror which meticulously explains the rise of the Nazis, how they took power and what they did to consolidate it. Ringing any bells? I spent much of it thinking about Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. It’s a cult. So was Hitler.

Not the first time I've said it, but I do think we should sit with the fact that the folks likeliest to have predicted we'd elect a reality TV president who'd create a fascist police state where people would be put into unmarked vans for criticizing Israel have been widely ridiculed my entire life.

If it turns out yesterday was the greatest day for white collar crime in American history, I won't bat an eyelid. Crimes in plain sight. And Barbie Bondi won't do a damn thing about it.

do I have this right? Donald Trump is just going to crash the world economy every three months — and then pretend to save it, over and over, while his cronies rake in untold billions on his shameless market manipulation, is that it? fucking hell

Let’s break this down: in summary- he’s shat his pants because US treasury bonds were being sold off like lemonade in a desert. He’s fucked up big time. And any other spin is bullshit.

Absolutely damning. Seems that the British government made not attempt to find out if the Russians had interfered in the EU Brexit referendum.

So Fanta Bonespurs Fuhrer who called US servicemen suckers and losers wants a big shiny military parade in his honour (cost $98m from you, American taxpayers) I think we’re about a month away from him starting to wear a uniform.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

I guess someone thought they’d pop out the 90 day line in the hope they wouldn’t lose everything. Bad luck. The crash is still on.

Donald Trump just posted this shortly after the markets crashed as markets opened

Reminder. Whatever happens today is the consequence of a deliberate choice being made by one man who doesn't understand economics and is basing policy on crackpot theories dreamt up by an economist who doesn't exist. Crazy Town doesn't even start to cover it.

It is mind blowing to me that the world is allowing one crazy man to wreck the world economy.

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

60 minutes have reported that 75% of people sent by the US administration to a prison in El Salvador have no criminal record. Tell you who has a criminal record: Fanta Fuhrer. Send him there instead.

PRAYING a journalist tricks him today by asking why he put a tariff on Heard and McDonald island. Let him answer. And then tell him it's only populated with penguins.

The UK exports £360bn of goods to the EU, on which we now struggle with big non tariff barriers, compared to £60bn to the US. Imagine looking at this sh1tshow and thinking it vindicates Brexit in any way.

Confirmed: Russia has been spared from Trump's reciprocal tariffs because current sanctions "preclude any meaningful trade," the White House says. However, the US trades more with Russia than it does with some of the countries that have been targeted, like Mauritius or Brunei, @axios.com reports.

Wait. No tariffs for Russia, Belarus or North Korea? HA HA HA. OF COURSE THEY DON’T GET PUNISHED.

The fact he’s put a 10% tariff on the Heard and McDonald Island which is solely populated by penguins is AMAZING.

Had an old fashioned cold last week; pyjamas, bed, mountain of damp tissues, everything smelling of VICKS. Played South Park Stick of Truth and Fractured but Whole on my Switch. LOVED them. Any recommends for games like them? (I've just played Thank Goodness You're Here which was also very funny)

Multiple nations facing tariffs from one nation can stand together. As difficult as it may seem, we can all increase our trade with each other and cut out the rogue state. Because you know what? If we all did that, America will come off worse. No more pandering to Fanta Fuhrer.
