Re: President Trump 2.0
 

So Taco Trump says along with all those 200 beautiful trade deals he signed!

In reality, he now faces a dilemma:
To carry out his threat to reimpose tariffs which will severely disrupt the markets, or
To extend the deadline and give further credence to his Taco nickname.

So in this case it worked;)

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

What worked ?

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

Struggling to think what I could have said to make it clearer but here I go .
Increasing defence spending, if he keeps his word , which is very questable. If Trump hadn't i doubt the slimey one would have bothered. :rolleyes:

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

UK escapes 50% tariff on iron and steel. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg713y73plro.amp

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

I presume you are referring to the current defence review ?
It was part of the Labour Manifesto, and once they had won the election, it was announced in July 2024, long before Trump became President.
It was not in response to his utterings, but a response to the threats of Russia, China, Iran and North Korea.

You just need to provide a linked source like anyone else on this forum.

If you've got information that corrects a reliable source, then you will start to win over members by providing a link to it. Stating that a source is wrong without any evidence cannot not make your case for you..

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

Try world at one today on BBC radio 4 . Fact I really didn't think that it needed explaining, silly me. The UK does not repeat, not pay the tariff the company importing does . Yes goods will cost more but the buyer not the seller pays.unless they reduce the price but still isn't paying :dozey:

Trump has helped Elon a lot, how would his company have lost half it's value without the orange retard in power.

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

I don't think Elon cares. He puts free speech before finances.

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

until he didn't

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

Elon cares about free money, not free speech. So lots of lovely contracts for his space business and no one examining those contracts too sharply. What's not to like?

What's not to like is that the free money becomes outweighed by a decline in Starlink sales to Canada, Tesla sales in Democrat states and both in Europe threatening his time at the helm of these companies.

So he's seen it's time to put some distance between him and Taco and lay off promoting AfD and other overseas right-wing parties whose values don't really align with Tesla's and get back to business.

Musk has now said that he thinks that what he said about Trump 'went too far'. Interesting to note that he doesn't withdraw or say that his remarks were untrue.

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

Very much this.

Diplomacy has to be pragmatic. We shouldn’t have to massage his fragile ego just to get him to do what any normally-adjusted individual in the highest public office should instinctively understand, but we don’t act according to what we feel should be, we act according to the way things actually are.

Trump is a lot of very hard work for comparatively little gain (because he’s only onside until the next person gets their chance to whisper in his ear), but he is what he is.

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

I'm sad :( come back Trump :LOL:

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

The Royal Family and putting on the full state visit treatment does seem to stick with him. He also inexplicitly seems to get on well with Starmer; he had several chances to make it difficult for him today and avoided it.

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

I wouldn't read too much into anything Trump says or does. He can only think 5 minutes ahead . At the State Banquet he was mostly thinking:-

• 'what's for pudding ?'
• 'where's the toilet? '
• 'wonder which royal I can bonk? '

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

Now the orange git is advising Starmer to 'call out the military'. Again, who does he think he is?

Harriet Jones had it right:

BLAKE: I'm getting demands from Washington, ma'am. The President's insisting that he take control of the situation.
HARRIET: You can tell the President, and please use these exact words, he's not my boss, and he's certainly not turning this into a war.

Quite right too. We didn't let Hitler, Stalin or Mussolini tell us what to do. Despite what he apparently thinks, this is our country. Nor should Starmer let him, useless nonentity that Starmer is.

(Not that I think Farage would be any better - he's clueless in a different way.)

I'd guess shepherd them in and out the country :shrug:

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

I have no idea but I'd start with acknowledging their reasoning to why they want to come here in the first place. Then dismantle this ideal. Detainment, camps etc with the threat of sending them back. No benefits, no housing, no hotels, no money, nothing, just the basics in a camp if they are caught and if they don't quality to stay then they're shipped back. There's got to be a message that says if you come here you'll get nothing. Make Calais look like the better option basically. But all that sounds so easy doesn't it.....

More enforcements... Employ an illegal you get shut down. I'm sure there's a lot more they can do.
