US Election & Presidency

"We're introducing big tariffs on steel and aluminium, to protect American jobs! There will be no exceptions!
........ except Canada and Mexico........ but other than that, no exceptions........ apart from Australia.......
But they will definitely apply to China who is flooding our country with cheap steel.... "

"What's that Mike? Only 3% of imports, you say"
"Yes Mr President, but don't worry, your base will be fooled, that's all that matters"
" Btw do we have a new economics advisor yet?"
"No, Mr President. We only have one applicant so far, from a Count von Count currently working in Sesame St."
" Great Mike, he'll do. Sesame St, Wall St, what's the difference..."

Exceptions for Mexico and Canada, even Trump is not so stupid as to throw up trade barriers with your immediate neighbours

Donald Trump is smarter than 17 million Brits pass it on

He is that stupid, he had to be talked out of it.

Yeah but he could be talked out of it

Former friend Steve Bannon has been in France trying to make friends and influence people:

Oh dear

Trump has sacked Rex Tillerson and replaced him with Mike Pompeo (who was head of the CIA). Funny how he's done this (after it being rumoured for a long time) the day after Tillerson came out and supported the UK by saying the Nerve Agent used in Salisbury clearly came from Russia and there should be serious consequences.

Seems Tillerson is also in the middle of a visit to Africa so will have to cut that short and return home. Curious timing to say the least.

And Hillary opening her big gob again and reminding all the swing voters why they voted for Trump. Because he wasn't her...

She thinks she's still relevant because she won the popular vote. She needs to realise it was only Trump that saved her from losing that as well.

It's the Mattis-McMaster-Tillerson type guys who are the ones to watch.

Could have sworn I said more about this. Anyway, Tilly's gone, and McMaster is supposedly on the slippery slope to the exit door too.

So yeah, things don't look too clever. A 14 months Sec of State? Tilly was the one who advocated talks with N Korea too.

Still, good news for dem satirists, I guess

More unusual timing, the House Intelligence Committee Republicans have decided that the time is right to announce no evidence of collusion, even though they didn't exactly dig deep. Weird that Mueller has nailed four associates that they didn't bother much with, let's hope they aren't colluding

Another russian found dead over here best friend of putins biggest critic who was also found dead a few years back

Dont know why but im guess there is going to be a link to them and this MI6 man steele who did the dossier
