It’s extraordinary that so much media still reports on Trump with the old, redundant tools of the trade. He lied about Ukraine, then he tried to extort Ukraine, and having failed he threatens to walk away from Ukraine. The idea that he was ever going to do anything unwelcome to Putin is ridiculous.

It was extraordinary. There is, for example, no earthly reason why a little-known radio presenter on a commercial station should have become a national rallying point for Brexit reality simply by telling the obvious truth. (He did have to step down from occasionally presenting Newsnight, though.) 😉

We were lucky to have this guy in a position of authority during Brexit, doing what he could to limit the damage. Canadians would be lucky to get him as prime minister. Let much the perfect candidate for this moment.

obscene lying from Stephen Miller on Fox News as he claims the economy was in "depression" thanks to Biden when Trump took office (the American economy was in fact the envy of the world three months ago ... )

It's extraordinary how many wise people still don't realise that much of the right-wing media and political establishment can never turn on Trump simply, and only, because he has made base bigotry mainstream & 'acceptable' again. 'Anti-woke' was always about being pro-racism, lies & misogyny.

One of the many great paradoxes in all of this is that despite millions of Americans believing and being told otherwise, the US economy kind of boomed under Biden. But in classic fake hero style, Trump got them to believe otherwise and portrayed himself as the white Knight who'd save the day...

From my perspective… Trump’s tariffs give the EU a huge opportunity… Namely to retaliate against tariffs on EU goods with tariffs on US services- in particular, those that have political & financial power within Europe. it can be phrased as a financial retaliation, but its value is much more.

Sometimes politics is simple. A man who speaks like an idiot will do idiotic things. That's really the sum total of the political analysis you need to understand what's happening today. But political commentators and investment advisers sought to make it more complicated.

I had this mad dream that the President of the United States of America tried to collapse the global economy by announcing tariffs on a bunch of uninhabited islands calculated by running Wikipedia information on trade deficits through ChatGPT. I must stop eating cheese before bedtime.

Yup. It feels cruel to deny deluded Brexiters their tiny sliver of a ‘win’ but, on the other hand, fuck ‘em. Weakening a country before an attack like this is an act of obvious treachery. We would, by any measure, be better off in the the EU with the 20% basic tariff rate.
