Literally all it takes is to say nice things to him. Amazing.
Surround yourself with Yes-men, piss off your allies, cuddle with dictators. Great strategy.
Maybe MAGA actually stands for Make America Gone Again. Is that acceptable English? Not a native speaker.
As much as I hate Starmer, he and Zelensky have done a good job of keeping their interests vis à cis Trump.
So the orange toddler is pissed at Canada because Trudeau laughed at him a few times?
Jfc. What a time to be alive.
Yes laughed…
Trump caught Melania flicking her bean while moaning Justin’s name. Fact.
Trump couldn’t care less. She’s there for the money and trump needs to pretend to be married for clout
Glad to know my career and income is at risk because of some poor presidents feelings.

I mean, all of this happened because Obama made fun of him at the Whitehouse correspondents dinner.
The man’s the head of state, of supposedly the biggest economy in the world, closer to the nuclear codes than most of us, and behaves like a complete cock. It’s legitimately terrifying and I’m not even USian.
And of course Donald Trump is as immovable as granite and unwaveringly loyal to his friends & allies.

define narcissist
So a trade deficit equals a subsidy in trump’s brain.
The US has a trade deficit with most of the world. If he goes 0% -> 25% on all imports it’ll be about $1T in funds moved from private hands into government coffers. (Of course, not all countries have 0% import tariffs today).
Would this be the biggest tax raise in American history?
Would this be the biggest tax raise in American history?
Maybe, and it hits the poor worse than most forms of tax increases.
So it’s blatantly in favor of the 1%, accumulating power even more in the top.I think it’s a bit of a stretch to call it a “brain”.
The UK and US have pretty balanced trading, both reprting surpluses. Isn’t that the real reason? Tariffs would be really stupid here
Stupid is the real reason.
