The Palestinians and their supporters have a right to think this as Trump as Trump has suggested that the Palestinians in Gaza relinquish their territory and relocate to other countries. And that he redevelops the territory.

You said, in your post, “Palestinians”…….not Palestinians and their supporters. Trump may have said many things, but has done nothing to anyone, let alone anyone in Scotland or any Palestinians resident in Scotland, of which I would think there are few.

So by defacing Trump's property in Scotland, it may act as a deterrent to his Gaza redevelopment plan being carried out, however unrealistic such a plan was (like many of his plans though eg Canada, Greenland, the Wall...)
Billionaire developer and leader of the most powerful nation in the world, terrified by hurty words sprayed on his hotel. Agrees to change policy.

It was a brave attempt Andrew, C+, needs work. But keep working.

Share markets in Asia have fallen after a selloff in the US was triggered by President Donald Trump not ruling out the suggestion that his tariffs could trigger a recession in the world's biggest economy.

I don’t think anyone, anywhere, expected the success or otherwise of Trump’s economic plans to be seen in the short term on the Asian stock markets.

It’s very likely the approach will smash the status quo and financial institutions losing out will rail against it just like they did Liz Truss. The difference is Trump has a clear democratic mandate that will be difficult to unpick in the next 4 years. He also doesn’t have the risk of not being re-elected to worry about.

On the other side a global recession, if it got that far, creates plenty of opportunities. I’m sure it was Jacob Rees-Mogg’s investment firm that described Covid as a “once or twice a generation” event for the markets. Trump resetting the US economic relationship will create massive opportunities for supernormal profits at the roulette wheel.

Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway has been banking on a stock market fall for some time by holding low yield (and low risk) Treasury bills and cash to the tune of almost $300bn.

So when he's saying you're gonna be so rich you won't know what to do with the money he's not talking to average Americans, he's talking to Rees- Smug type billionaire investors, yeah that makes sense, make the rich richer and the poor so dirt poor they're happy for any crumbs thrown seems like a policy he'd like, still at least he isn't a black woman America, imagine how much worse that'd be

I keep failing to understand the surprise expressed here, anyone that has ever read about the way he has run his company would recognise his style. Mind you buying and selling property is most definitely not running a country. I'm not offering a defence, just pointing out his mind set .

He just posted this morning again calling for Canada to be the 51st state and imposing more tariffs. He is deranged. None of this makes sense other than appeasing his own ego.
