I remember some of our products got roped in when he put tariffs on EU things but now we are out of that. Do we sell them stuff they could tariffs on?

It was absolutely ridiculous that they put themselves in this position. A lot of humble pie needs to be eaten by lammy especially. Re the tariffs, I think the UK as a whole will be ok, if nothing more then the fact trump is wanting to build/expand his golf courses over here, plus as much as he won't admit it publicly, the USA likes/needs the UKs support.
The idiots in charge over here are just going to have to grow up and do what's best for the country they where unfortunately elected to serve
Who said they were thick or morons?
I understood exactly what her plans were for the economy, she was very clear on it, people just didn't listen because Trump's message of "I'll make everything better, you'll see" just got through louder.
They'll pay for it, unfortunately, but then such is the way with people like him. They do everything to get what they want, then there's no substance when they get in. I just hope for their sake there isn't another pandemic.
Lol I can't see that happening. Doesn't seem very popular up there.
I’ve no doubt the ‘special relationship’ between us and the US will continue but Labour were really reckless in their rhetoric about this election. Having members go to the US to canvass for Harris (a federal crime) and some cabinet ministers’ comments. Farage is the same though. That prick’s done more work for Trump in the last few months than his actual job in the UK representing his constituents.
Only with the local people close to the courses ( the same as pretty much any local construction) They'll get built imo as it creates jobs and a lot of ££ for the local economy
The cold hard truth is
Majority of amercian voters wont vote for a woman president
He'll be the next UK PM. Bannon, Miller et al have got Trump into power, their attentions will now turn to us.
the "convicted felon" stuff was all political and all done with bent judges and bent prosecutors. every conviction was timed for the election run-up to put people off voting, but people over there have clearly watched what happened in court, or didn't care, rather than just reading the headlines in the guardian or independent. i'm going to assume you've never looked closely at any of the indictments and cases, because if you ever did, even a virtual commie like you would have seen they were all bollocks. where and who was the victim in the new york fraud case? how can they get a fraud conviction when nobody was defrauded? they tried to make out that mar-a-lago, a 17 acre oppulently decorated property in palm beach - where properties currently sell for $60m PER ACRE - was only worth $18m when trump applied for the loan c.2012. get real.
as for convicted rapist, that's another left wing lie. listen, if he's as bad as you say, why don't you actually list some of what his real issues are instead of lying all the time? or can't you find anything bad enough? it completely spears everything else you say when you just repeat these lies. trump is NOT a convicted rapist. he was found guilty of sexual assault in a CIVIL kangaroo court by a woman who didn't even know what year the alleged assault took place. get real.
and he was never an "epstein customer", so don't pull that crap.
you just come over as a know-nothing loudmouth that hasn't done any research.
anyway, i hope your football team does something good over the next four years to alleviate your misery a little.
He's proposing a blanket tariff of 10-20% on all imports and huge tariffs on China imports.
Yeah, Jon Stewart said it best, "the losing side just don't learn their lesson".
The Democrats want to win on a platform of niceties and professionalism, the Republicans just took a "win at all costs" stance and it broke through to the "bro culture" of the USA, the Joe Rogan/UFC fans and the like. Basically, they just acted like they do online where was the Democrats just tried to appeal like every other politician, they haven't updated their tactics or researched into what modern American culture is actually like now.
They'll have to switch up for the next election, otherwise it'll be pretty grim for them in years going forward.
Unless it all goes tits up between now and then I think we can give ourselves a pat on the back. It's mostly been OK with few angry rants or personal attacks.
The poll up top ended 50/50
So in my best impersonation of the old bloke at the end of are you being served
Well done everybody.
Come on.... Trump has assets of over a billion dollars and is supported by the richest man in the world... He really isn't going to kill off any banks or change the world order. He's going to provide some amusing interviews, wacky decisions and infuriate those we like seeing infuriated. His last presidency showed exactly what he will do.
Corbyn threatened to disrupt the world order and didn't win.
Issue is if they do switch it up, the Republicans will gleefully point to them and say "You always criticised us for doing this". They can't win either way.
