My Playlist on American Politics -

In this video - Donald Trump’s latest economic vandalism? A reckless wave of tariffs on nearly all U.S. trading partners, triggering global backlash, economic uncertainty, and rising costs for ordinary people on both sides of the Atlantic. In this episode of Truth To Power, we break down Trump’s clownish but dangerous tariff stunt—from the bogus maths behind his so-called “reciprocal tariffs” to the devastating consequences for American consumers, European allies, and a post-Brexit Britain caught in the crossfire. If you care about international stability, global trade, or just want to understand why Trump is both laughable and terrifying, this one’s for you.

I'm planning to retire at 59 in another country outside the US that is free, safe and very cheap with a high quality of life and good healthcare. Greed has eaten up those in our economic sectors making lives of the average Americans difficult. Mr. president seems to be myopic about how to better the country and seemingly peaks interest in war topics. Taxes are heavy on the middle class while the billionaires evade this taxes. some are even given tax cuts. I could fully just rely on only my SS if I wanted to when that times arrives but l'll also have at least one pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific Investment account with my Catalina Soto Busch my FA. Retiring comfortably in the US these days is almost impossible

For those who think the EU over-regulates, notice the issue here, US Americans want to import more well regulated quality products from Europe than Europeans want to buy unregulated poorer made products from America. Regulation doesn't equal pointless bureaucracy, it equals quality standards.

As someone living in Scotland all I can say is that if Trump comes to Scotland to visit with old Charlie there will be trouble

[crainsie]

I find it astonishing that, in a democracy one man can have so much power to single-handedly upend decades of diplomacy and international co-operation.

[martinholmes-ueko]

Trump doesn't care. He will just walk away from the mess.

Joseph Goebbels's quote applies - "A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth"

The 1% will be very rich ..they will be buying companies for pennies

[richardjames]

He has even slapped tariffs on penguins on the Heard Island and McDonald Islands

A "Hero of the Soviet Union" medal is on its way to Trump from the exceedingly pleased Putin in appreciation of him not imposing tariffs on Russian imports, whilst devastating everyone else's economies for him.

USA "Liberation day" for me is the exact equivalent of Farage/Johnson's "Independance day" same idiocy with the same results

[Spo-uoqq]

Brexit Independence day and US liberation day ... fools leading the fools and the dumb.

Giving Trump credit for understanding complex dynamics belies the fact of his malignant narscissism, appalling geo-poltical ignorance, well documented failure to take advice and finally His low intellectual level appropriate to his position. The simpler reality is that Trump is a loose cannon creating the unintended consequence of being catalytic to accellerating the decline of American hegemony

[bobnolin]

One can only imagine what Putin has offered Trump to destroy America.

Ursula von der Leyen is not the EU president but the president of the EU Commission. The president of the civil service.

‘tRump is making it up as he goes along and America’s allies are preparing a big F*ck you to tRump..’ loved that 😂😂😂

[davidmcintyre]

This is the same tariff system that has put a 42% tariff on the Falkland islands because they export seafood to the US but import very little at all from anywhere due to the tiny population and has also put a 10% tariff on Heard Island and McDonald Islands which are inhabited only by penguins and seals having no human population at all so thus must me a mighty threat to the US economy

Dictatorships never emerged in a stable society. Project 2025 arming up 😢

[stevenmcvay]

A guy who can bankrupt a casino f'n twice ffs and who thought he would do the same to the US economy, oh 78 million peeps thought it was a tremendous bigly greatest idea ever ever in all history.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😳🇺🇸🌞💙

I've a feeling that history will show Trump to be as successful as Liz Truss!
