From a concert perspective one of these was thrown at Lou Reed in his later touring years who promptly walked off the stage 😎

Trump and his acolytes think about trade in terms of things you can make, touch, see and comprehend like cars and trucks and phones. But dismantling health, research and innovation, and education as exports will damage their economy for years to come with no path back. They are modern day Luddites🤡.

He may the best person for the job, but heck, we can’t have him thinking he’d be in the job to say what he actually thought

What do you do when you feel inferior to scientists, scholars and the educated? You pretend you are part of that cohort by faking it. This is about dumbing down complex issues to match a personal agenda. Forget tariffs, this will do more long term damage and the point of no return is now

My take is he WILL stick to this tariff not because it’s good for the community but because it’s good for his ego

It’s interesting that the USA has always ‘thrived’ but now finds that ‘survive’ is the thing to aspire to. That’s the damage Trump has inflicted. The psychology of lowered expectations for the masses while the elite see boom times is what this administration is all about. Job done 😞

MAGA people all lack empathy. It’s that simple. They change their tune ONLY when it affects them directly. That’s not civilisation

Musk has done what he set out to do (run interference while Donny dismantled democracy) and now wants to fade into the background to avoid any more consequences for his actions

No one believes Trump anymore. The China debacle has people seeing that he’s all talk. More will start defying him in the future or simply lie and then do what they like.

Tariff induced slowdown is the downstream effect of having incompetent people running the show. So thinking about the large number of incompetent people leading other parts of government, things are going to spiral on many fronts, slowly but surely

The beauty of the Trump approach for overseas countries is that it gives everyone else time to move away from the US on all things financial and cultural without a sudden impact. The long term impact of Trump will be the steady decline of the US due to incompetent people in all the key roles

I can understand pulling her nomination because she supported vaccines, masks, and stopping misinformation during the pandemic, but I don’t get how something like a doubt over her qualification should rule her out of serving in a Trump administration.

When I think of ‘Lord’ Downer, the ‘big swinging dicks’ and the Morrison smirk that was so effortlessly transferred to the face of Ted O’Brien, I think fuck them and all who sail under them 😝

I don’t know why people don’t just agree to Trump on one hand and then simply change their mind later on. If someone holds a gun to your head and says give me your wallet, do you believe that was a legit transaction. NO!!! When you get the chance you make things right

Whatever they’re doing to ‘help’ the conservative parties can we just stand back and let them do it. Seems to be a pretty good result so far for their efforts 🤪

Let’s face it whatever happens in the US this man’s ego will always be pushing him to say it’s all part of the plan.

I think it’s mainly dolls. That’s what great leader said so I think we can live without a few extra dolls as important as they are

Trump is the king of liars so businesses are learning how to lie back at him. Now he’s getting the ‘yes sir, no sir, 3 bags full sir’ response and guess what? The opposite is happening behind his back 🤡🤡

Trump says I’m calling Xi now and puts the phone to his ear Trump: hello president Xi. I hear you want to back down on your tariffs. Very wise decision. This means we will also ……. And just like that in mid sentence Trump’s phone rings 🤪🤪🤡🤡

The art of the backflip. Hard to watch without cringing. This is the USA once proud country reduced to a quivering mess

I can see the thinking behind this. Get rid of the smart people and those that are left become relatively smarter. It’s genius thinking that equates to the previous gem of ceasing Covid tests to lower the number of infections.

It only matters to MAGA if they find themselves directly affected, otherwise they are likely to think the person deserved to be dealt with in this way. ie Zero empathy kind of people

‘More than 74 million people journeyed to Orlando in 2023, contributing around 50% of the total sales tax collected in Orange County’. I think great leader may have just shut the gate on the external tourism part of this. So they can advertise no queues for rides here

If you need to look into the crystal ball to see the US in the very near future. This is it 😞

It seems the only way MAGA people can understand the US decline into fascism is if it directly affects them. They have zero empathy and are very shallow people it seems.

The trade war is one thing, but the damage being done to the culture and the systems that define civilisation, such as law and order and individual rights will mean steady decline and descent into survival of the most corrupt

Tariffs can be ok or not ok. These steps can be better than across the board tariffs 1. What do we import 2. Do we have good alternatives that are home grown. Consider a tariff 3. If not is this something we want to make ourselves 4. If yes plan to make this happen. Local Incentives and tariffs

Don’t expect any billionaires to weigh into this one like they did with the tariff overreach. They actually like the law of the jungle unless it hurts them directly.

Oh goody. A couple of economic ‘experts’ who were unable or incapable of foreseeing what every other economist already knew. It seems they are learning about economics like a baby learns about a hot stove or a sharp knife. More unintended consequences incoming on many fronts 🤡🤡
