Declaring war on Canada and Greenland paid for by selling beef to Hindus. Trump’s fascism has one saving grace - it’s the stupidest form of fascism that’s ever existed.

Democracy isn’t really about elections or having a well written constitution. Useful though these are. A country’s culture is its constitution. No amount of elections or well drafted constitutions will save you if enough people - and particularly enough influential people - want klepto-fascism.

Once again for the slow ones at the back. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION. In fact, as constitutions go, it’s a pretty good one. What’s failing America is not its constitution. What’s failing is its culture. & that’s going to take an awful lot of work to rectify.

Trump will destroy anything of value in America. Simply because they do not worship him, do what he says or give him protection money.

Trump govt is a coalition of 2 main forces Intelligent people who assumed Trump was lying when he told low information voters he’d bring in tariff trade war. Low information voters who believed Trump, but didn’t realise it was a stupid policy US politics is a game of bluff with a dishonest monkey

The question nobody seems to be asking is: “What if he’s already dead?” He fled to the US and testified against the El Salvador gangs. He’s now been sent to a large lawless prison gulag in El Salvador. I mean there got to be a reasonable chance he can’t be brought back..because he’s already dead.

Just found out that the American made F35 (& other US made military equipment) requires rare earth contents that only China is supplying in large enough quantities at present. If I found this out today I’m assuming Trump will find this out sometime this week.

I hope this doesn’t sound excessively maudlin… …but I’ve recently been thinking about my gap year when I travelled Europe in the late 80s mostly meeting lovely American gap year students. These students, like me are now in their 50s. I can’t help wondering how many have become Trumpist fascists.

It’s the end of the US as a western nation. And the west without the USA.. Lord knows. The lights. They are going out.

This is a very common mistake. The last thing I want is for Labour to compete with LibDems particularly in non London south. I want Labour to be the biggest party in the north/midlands and LibDems to smash Tories in leafy south areas. & if these people just thought for a moment - they would too.

You remember all those films about prohibition with all the millions made from smuggling liquor from Canada into USA? Now imagine that but not just with liquor…instead with EVERY SINGLE GOOD produced in China. The only way high tariffs work with China is with a fully militarised 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 border.

I’m starting to doubt (for want of a better expression) the “psychological sustainability of modern society”. In my lifetime my family went from having not a single luxury but a guaranteed low rent home to people who download all of history’s music to their phone but live on edge of homelessness.

Suggestion to get us out of the present mess: Trump should announce that tariffs will be replaced by an “enhanced Covfefe strategy”. Americans, Canadians & Mexicans will publicly welcome this proclaiming it “another example of American genius”. strategy. And we can all return to normality

This is a mistake by Bill Maher. His success depends on his key demographic audience - white boomers who self identify as liberals - thinking he’s a plain talking liberal guy who still likes rock music & weed. …not realising he been a right wing comedian since almost a decade.

++UPDATE++ Trump caves on tariffs & exempts ALL China's main exports from USA tariffs. Exemptions now include: Smartphones, computers, chips, other electronic devices & components, semiconductors, solar cells, flat panel TV displays, flash drives, memory cards & solid-state drives.

So here’s a thing If US economy continues to grow then it’ll increase imports from Europe to replace high tariffed Chinese goods. If US declines then Trump’s tariff revolution is toast. Either way Europe has an interest in keeping its head down, mollifying Trump & waiting to see how it ends up.

The US is not a Christian country. What you are seeing now in the USA is a post rational, post civilisational cult. Anything is possible now. Absolutely anything.
