US Election & Presidency

see the 'penguins' won their trade war with Trump
good for them lol and wonder how his negotiations with Davros went

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the cost of making a nuclear rocket went up a bit for a few days. I think if he decides to raises our tariff again or he won't do deal - I reckon it's time we gave all the American companies who are avoiding paying taxes here (we know who they are) - an ultimatum: pay your tax bills or else! and we cancel his state visit.

It's time Kier Starmer named and shamed them in Parliament and officially warn them.

China tariffs on US up to 125% now (I think, can't keep track now )

Your move, Donald. The Chinese are just trolling him now

Truth is, he's gone too far, too fast, for it to be effective. Increase from 0 to 25%, and the sky is falling in.
Increase from 100% to 125%, and nobody cares. It's all fucked anyway

They can't keep this up long term or they're both fucked. China is probably better placed to weather it in the short term.

Trump has overplayed his hand.

^ its 145 % 125% plus the origianl 20% that was already on

^ No, China has gone from 84% to 125%.

They're matching his moves, but always staying behind so he looks like the bad one.

So couch lover opens his mouth and insults Denmark and it's okay, but distancing yourself from the idiots comments and being an actual sensible adult is not okay.

Makes sense. Another qualified person losing their job thanks to these fuckwits.

I was reading something the other day where Vance was described as being the "Cabbage Patch Satan". I chuckled quite a bit

I notice that The Times has opinion piece from Fraser Nelson (who also writes for The Telegraph and The Spectator magazine) effectively saying that in a trade between China and USA. We, the UK should choose America, basically continue to be Americans little poodle. Which is dangerous for us, because America (if they get desperate) would gladly screwe us over.
