No worries. Heard him on a panel and, while I didn’t agree with everything, I was impressed. And hadn’t heard of him before then either lol

Bingo! We thought the U.S. was over its nightmare in Nov 2020, then Jan 6th 😬, then Nov 2024: “He’s baaack”. It’s gonna take a lot more than flipping seats this Nov and the White House in 2028, a LOT more, for a really, really long time.

U.S. Trade Deficit in July highest since March 2025. Highest since March 2022 if you factor the front loading that occurred between December 2024 and March 2025 in anticipation of the tariffs. tradingeconomics.com/united-state...

Wonder what Steve Jobs would think of the company today. Tim Cook has been a major disappointment in that regard.

Just so there is no mistake, here is one of the realities that the US citizens need to consider.

Indeed. What’s more (and you know this Robert, but maybe for some of your followers, especially American ones), the goods trade deficit Trump keeps harping about is effectively energy related (slide 10 in attached linked document). Factor in the services trade surplus (slide 21) and it’s a wash🤷🏻‍♂️

The goal was to remain competitive in terms of effective tariff rates compared to our global competitors as Trump imposed tariffs broadly.

Philippe Bergeron @philippebergeron.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Bad precedent, bad deal? Maybe, but no one who was paying attention should be surprised about accepting some tariffs. I’m not. From 13 months ago: “Mark Carney told reporters on Monday [July 28, 2025] …that an agreement without any tariffs at all was unlikely. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Read it twice, maybe I missed it, or perhaps Wiseman said it but it’s not shown as a quote, but “fine print” doesn’t show up. Bloomberg editorializing? Quotes do refer to the treatment of medium and heavy trucks and language, examples Carney provided when asked. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
