1st Feb 25% tariff on Mexico + Canada, 10% on China

Trudeau capitulated pretty quick after his big I am speech. Trump will, quite rightly, look on him as a wishy washy wimp.

He's certainly been a disruptor since he got in, unsettling all the other leaders, parties and organisations who LOVE to talk until the proverbial cows come home but achieve VERY little month in month out, year in year out.

Trump acts, Starmer sets up task forces ...

Trump capitulated

Trump makes big threats, backs down whilst claiming he won...............and fick MAGAs fall for it

That's a weird interpretation! Trudeau had already announced these plans back in December.

Striking parallels with Bozo's modus operandi:

"When Boris sees a crowd running, he jumps onto the front of it and shouts "Follow me!" "

(quote attributed to BJ's biographer).
 
Does anyone really think that Trump went nuclear on Canada, in the process threatening a global stock market crash, just to get Canada to spend an extra $200m on security and appoint a "fentanyl tsar".

Trump shocks to simply please his MAGA followers, nothing more. And they lap it up like he can do no wrong. Baffling.

Bidens policies made America the fastest to recover from post covid economic damage and he made America the fastest growing economy in the world.

Biden policies made millions of Americans able to afford healthcare
Bidens policies were making medicines cheaper

So your claim other leaders achieve FA…..is utterly wrong



Trumps amazing “disrupter” tactics last time…….caused so much damage to farming he had to provide massive subsidies.


Stop drinking Koolaid

Tariffs = price increases. Yes or no ?

My reference is wider i.e. time will tell if Trump's term in office will overall be positive or negative for Americans and the wider world.

The usual suspects on here who already shout DISASTER have no more of a crystal ball than the rest of us.

Nobody is shouting disaster.

They are saying he has lost, or backed down on every 1 so far though.

Increased prices (likely to affect much of the world) and isolationism and watching China pick up the pieces around the world doesn't sound like positives for America and/or the rest of the world
