    As the barricades go up around the White House amid rumours that he plans a bombing raid on Iran following his talks with Netanyahu, at least we can have a giggle at Dumpfs expense! <laugh>

    Afraid they'd lose their jobs this week if they do stand up

    Gee, if only there was some way they could have avoided being put in such a conundrum...

    This is the clearest explanation yet of the tariff "formula" that I have heard. It's in the first part of the programme and isn't a long listen, but I would very much recommend it. Explains how the value of the additional variables in the formula calculate out to 1, so can be discarded, and how given the US' own figures, the tariffs are at least four times more than they should be. Incidentally this whole mathematical argument is over and above the LIE that Trump keeps spouting about the tariffs being "reciprocal". (Oh those poor penguins.)

    I wonder how much negotiating with the US involves a backhander now?
    The fat **** thinks that he's some kind of orange Godfather.

    100% I would imagine...
    The only thing is that these 'deals' are likely only to be made with the smaller fry....and possibly penguins! The big players are digging in and working around the US.

    His 90 day pause also suggests the reaction to the tariffs was felt more painfully on the domestic market than it did internationally.

    If in doubt, assume this can be traced to Peter Thiel

    Somebody so odious, his skull is trying to escape the confines of his face

    They are suggesting that Trump halted his tariff obsession deliberately to make a personal financial killing encouraging others to do the same.The Dems are looking into this fiddle.

    He's been boasting about how much money his mates made.
    Not even attempting to conceal his blatant crimes.
