Trumps budget will increase Americas debt by $5trillion

Im sure Motorbiking and gasbag will be along to say how great that is
 
Not nosenout lies.
Nonsense. Spin away with your Trump horn-smoking waffle. He said it front of the world boyo, no escaping it with your RWR spin. Type the words 'inject bleach' in any search, and the Orange Idiot is hits galore.

USA can only try and set different tariff rates to different EU countries if those countries export the same stuff.
Nonsense.

The US is perfectly able to set tariffs by country. Irrelevant of their membership of a trade block.

It makes no difference what they export.

Base tariff for France 15%
Base tariff for Spain 15%
Base tariff for Germany 20%
Vehicles from EU additional 10%

See how easy it is.

But you acknowledge they can do what they like so the argument is won.

I’m no fan of Trump he says enough stupid things without you helping him with your lies.

Again. This is what he actually said..

Trump: It wouldn’t be through injection.
 
No, I'm describing what he "can" do.

He "can" define different tariffs for France and Germany, and he "can" define different tariffs for Essex and Wales.



Whether any sane person would do it, is a different question, and one that is not relevant to Trump.

His definitions would not become part of a trade agreement, because an agreement requires, er, agreement.
Nobody is signing up to tariffs via trade agreements. But you know this.
 
Not sure if Trump should back down .If another nation imposes a tariff then they should expect the same back .
 
Are you suggestion he didn’t say.

Trump: It wouldn’t be through injection. We’re talking about through almost a cleaning, sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work. But it certainly has a big effect if it’s on a stationary object.

Yes or no ?
 
Not sure if Trump should back down .If another nation imposes a tariff then they should expect the same back .

It should be broadly reciprocal, though.

In these cases:

EU had approx 1% tariff, Trump charged them 20%
Taiwan had approx 5% tariff, Trump charged them 32%
Vietnam had approx 9% tariff, Trump charged them 46%

I'm not suggesting anything. We all heard it boyo, except the horn-smokers....
“I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute,” Mr Trump mused at a press conference in April of 2020. “And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that.”
