In the latest local elections England sadly did NOT reject right wing populism.

You can expect a Trump 25% tariff on eating a hot dog, a Trump 30% tariff on listening to children laugh, a Trump 20% tariff on smelling a flower…

He is underestimating the brand destruction.

Trump is happy as he wants a weaker $.

He should be focused on saving TSLA. They have fallen way behind their Chinese EV rivals. In the US TSLA is protected by tariffs. In the rest of the world they are not. Of course he will not do this. He is full of hubris and thinks he is a genius who will save the world. He is not.

Has he taken a hard look at the UAE? πŸ€”. Of course not.

Here is the fundamental issue. The demand for TSLA cars has cratered and will never recover. It’s not any more complicated than that. All the talk about self driving cars and robots is a bullshit smoke screen.

Can’t he run on a ticket in 2028 as the VP and if the ticket wins, the newly elected President would resign and voila Trump would be President again. That’s his plan.

Wait a minute. Our President has said β€œRussia is our friend. We will do great business deals together!” Now we have to save Greenland from Russia?

Her district is close to Canada. Could there be a backlash there against Trump’s Canadian threats?

Do you have any polling to support your 2026 optimism for the Dems? I haven’t seen any.

It is not clear to me that Snyder has left Yale. Is he simply a Visiting Prof at Toronto? I can find no news article confirming he will not be back at Yale this Fall.

I am very sympathetic to the Palestinians, however their political judgement in the November elections was disastrous. That it is not too strong of a word. Thousands more Palestinians are dying because the person they refused to vote for lost. It is not any more complicated than that.
