Just wasted my life listening to Trump. What a ramble of absolute rubbish.

Fund managers have said that Trump’s Make America Great Again agenda has instead unleashed a Make Europe Great Again trade that is reordering global financial markets. www.ft.com/content/2e81...

Always interesting to hear from Stephen Kotkin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qKX...

Enjoyed this. youtu.be/C5CVP5h-gxU

They are arguing, endlessly, that illegally inciting acts of terror online is ‘free speech’ while silencing dissent, targeting journalists & telling an invaded ally what he is & is not allowed to say during a live television broadcast are all fine.

The Zelenskiy/Trump meeting went wrong when JD Vance got stuck in so aggressively. US Vice-Presidents have usually seen their job as trying to be emollient; Vance, by contrast, seemed actively to want to stir things up.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy. Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

Has there been any polls in the USA on how Trump has been dealing with this and relaitons with Russia? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Worse than I thought!

#Newsnight 1030pm LIVE President Trump tears into President Zelensky - what does it mean for Ukraine & Europe? Insight tonight comes from ex-head of MI6 Sir Alex Younger Plus an interview with Russian Ambassador to UK. I ask him about giving Ukraine its territory back - he says ‘why should we?’

The final chapter is called “Goodbye America”.

Can Trump replace income taxes with tariffs? www.piie.com/blogs/realti...

There has been a lot of talk and charts on tariffs. This one stood out for me, when you have much less to lose you often have the upper hand.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Aside from the general issues about Trump‘s tariff and his economic nationalism strategy, today’s actions against Canada and Mexico are inexplicable and dangerous. 1/8
