Trumper

[Smurph]

And without having visions of the accordion-playing hand movements!

We have to be careful, last thing we need are the American special service kidnapping us like they did with that fella from Venezuela

It's like giving a little boy a shiny thing to placate him after a tantrum.
How can someone so utterly pathetic have so much power?

Because there are millions just as utterly pathetic who vote for him. Reality doesn't touch them.

Makes a mockery of the peace prize, doesn't it? Has this ever happened before (doubt it)?

He hasn’t actually won it.

I was given an Olympic medal to hold by an extended family member once - didn’t suddenly make me an Olympic medal winner.

Trump of course is probably too dull to realise the difference.

I know he hasn’t won it…I never said he had.

My point was it devalues the award by someone handing it off to someone else, particularly The Donald, who will certainly take that as him ‘winning it’. He won’t hold back in saying that many times, I’m sure.

Machado presents Trump with her Nobel award at White House meeting

Trump thanked Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, calling it "a wonderful gesture of mutual respect".

She's another one with her tongue firmly lodged up his arse, and all for naught. He's not going to name her as the rightful prezzy of Venezuela, he's got a puppet in place now shipping him all the oil and doing what she's told.
Heaven forbid that democracy should break out there.

Another day, another crazy development.

Time for the EU to grow a backbone. If Trump imposes more tariffs, Europe needs to hit back with massive tariffs on US goods, which will make him even more unpopular at home than he already is.

Totally misunderstanding who pays tariffs my friend. Tariffs are imposed on the company importing the goods that are likely (but not always) passed on to the consumer.
It is idiotic that Trump is raising prices for his own population through tariffs - why on earth would the UK and Europe do the same?
A better tactic is to raise the prices of goods that the USA need to import - but cannot source domestically, or through a diversified market.
So proud of Carney's Canada - by raising prices on Potash and Aluminium (among other commodities) Canada is literally crushing large parts of the USA industry and agriculture base, while boycotts of Tourism Bourbon and Wine (for example) are crippling the US industries in largely red states.
Anyone who buys American goods - or vacations in the States needs to give their head a shake.

It depends on the commodity. This might be the case for essentials such as aluminium, but when it comes to luxury items the pinch is felt in the selling region. Jaguar Land Rover sales plummet in line with rising tariffs and it’s British industry jobs at risk.

The biggest pinch point for the US is pharmaceuticals and biologicals.

 

[swan65split]

I for one say we should boycott the World cup, pointless going he would only want the USA to win and his son to score the winner.
I for one will boycott going...........whose with me?

lol

In what way, Prof? We need their market or they need our product?

They need European product. Most of the world’s insulin is produced in Scandinavia. Many pharmaceuticals made U.K. , Germany and France. Many vaccines made across the EU including big facilities in Italy.

America doesn't believe in vaccines any more.
