Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Imagine having a crucial business meeting about YOUR company or a discussion about your divorce, but you're not invited as your arrogant husband/wife/business partner & arrogant additional partner think they can make decisions without you! Situation in #Ukraine www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

This brings me great joy! By all means #Elon, do what you want, but people don't have to agree with you. I love it when consumers quietly demonstrate with their wallets - #Tesla sales are down. And in a separate comment - go #Canada for actively buying Canadian products in protest to #tariffs

Go #SouthAfrica! Ramaphosa’s message to US or #Trump in his national address: “We will not be bullied.” But the untruths from US are deadly serious as they affect 17% of SA’s #HIV budget and about 15,000 associated jobs said Rise Mzansi leader Songezo Zibi www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2025...

For this who don't know, the #Superbowl is NOT the biggest sporting event in the world. As a single event, UEFA Champions League Final (football - the kind where you use your foot with a ball) gets almost 4 times the viewership. World Cup #Football (or soccer for American) is by far the most watched

Dear America I think your dad is one of his manic phases! I was watching the news with #tariffs left & right, went to make tea & is was fire 20% of FBI, freeze USAID. I closed the window & suddenly US wants to take over GAZA never mind it being a crime. Is everything okay?! #Trump

Love that both Canada/Mexico have reacted with their own #tariffs to Trump's tactics. Trudeau says 25% tariffs on $155b US goods & Mexico says US could have dealt with fentynol issue. So much business fluctuation, but #Trump is a bullying overlord www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIEe...

Way to go USA! Your bright spark of a President! Spain is NOT in the BRICS. He's also called Namibia, Nambia, and referred to developing countries as 'shit hole countries'. He will keep on making faux pas and being uncouth #Trump www.theatlantic.com/unthinkable/

Wonder how US got itself to where it is today at #TrumpInaugaration. Half the population see #Trump for what he is & the other half believe it's made up or they don't care. Ever since Trump said "Grab them by the p*ssy" he's been a crass man to me & he proves if over & over for those who can see

France & Germany's differences on their US relationship: Berlin concludes that European security must be constructed transatlantically, while Paris thinks Europeans must address security challenges independently of the US. The #Trump presidency requires that they rethink and work on an #EU approach

Trump & his trade wars puts AGOA (trade agreement betw US & 32 sub-Saharan Africa countries) in jeopardy as it expires in Sept 2025. South Africa is particularly out of favour due to our allegiance to BRICS. Once again, in the Trump presidency, time will tell! www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2025...

Something to cheer about at the start of 2025! As much as some conservative men don't like the idea of #equality, it's been a long slog for women to move away from the 1950s housewife (and all generations before that) to at a minimum be given equal opportunities and access. And the work continues!

Sandwiched between the Nixon shock & OPEC oil crisis recession & the Reaganomics recession, #JimmyCarter's presidency is known for its foreign policy, diplomacy & human rights. He won the Nobel Prize in 2002 & could have won in 1978 when he successfully mediated a peace agreement betw Egypt & Israel

Barely recovered from the 2008 global financial crisis and then the UK government let the average person decide on whether the UK stays in the #EU or not. #Brexit was not the best move - £27bn in lost trade and considerable more paperwork for British companies

Do Americans realise how weird the normalisation of their gun violence is? 83rd school shooting for 2024 in #Madisonshooting. As of end Nov, the US has had 547 mass shootings in 2024 where 4 or more are shot in one location.

McKinsey settles for $122.8-million with US Dept of Justice & South Africa's National Prosecuting Authority for the #bribery scheme to win Eskom & Transnet contracts as part of Guptagate.

Got the popcorn ready to watch this tit-for-tat of bullying #Trump. Threatening Mexico & Canada with 25% tariffs & #BRICS with 100% tariffs if they create their own currency & undermine the US$. Interested how this will trickle down to the ave. American consumer & MAGA voters. Time will tell!

"Thanks to #Trump, we (US) now know that most of us are selfish & self-centred. It is also abundantly clear that character doesn't matter. Trump should also be commended for reminding us that racism, xenophobia & misogyny are alive and well." Yes, the US is no longer the shining city on the hill

I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around & uses women for his own power & ego.

How can an import/export business plan properly with so much #Rand/#USDollar exchange rate volatility? Strengthening is due to more confidence in SA & US interest rate cuts. Could break through the R15/US$ in 3 - 6 months according to Johann Els, Group Chief Economist at Old Mutual. One year chart 👇

Great to see #SAA posting a profit of R252mi - first time since 2012. Was my favourite homebound airline in my London days, and before Dudu & Zuptas plundered it. Revenue is R5.7bi. Wondering when the flight to London will be back? #SAAVoyager #airline businesstech.co.za/news/governm...
