    I saw Trump being mentioned on the Green Paper thread and it reminded me of this one so I'll post my thoughts.

    I was a wrestling fan, a fan of the WWF and Donald Trump used to make appearances in Wrestling, I thought he had a unique haircut but that was it, he was a celebrity and businessman, this was long before he got into Politics.

    I never thought he would become President, let alone win two elections, it goes to show how bizarre politics is. I've realised a key to judging a politician is how they view vulnerable/disabled/poor people, I don't think Trump is a friend of those three groups and prefers billionaires instead.

    How will people live without US IT technologies? About the same as 50 years ago. By the way, US cars are very comfortable and safe, they are not European sardine cans on wheels.

    US cars are huge, Wallowing, poor handling, unreliable, poorly designed, mostly outdated, uneconomical, unsafe, lower quality, lower resale value, lower performance (per litre) - than UK / European cars - do you want me to carry on ?

    It was European cars that pioneered 3 point Seat belts, Antilock braking, Crumple Zones etc - leaving US cars with Lapbelts until recently…..

    Trump is a nasty piece of work - an international bully - he charged China with tariffs at 34% but when China hit back with the same deal - Trump doesn't accept it and ups China to 104% - that's absolutely ridiculous

    Do “Freeports” somehow alleviate Trumps new tax regime ?

    The original Chinese cars are of very poor quality. They are more like mock-ups of cars. You can ask the "happy" owners.

    I have to say, some of the new Chinese electric cars look really good and seem like good competitors for Tesla. Though after seeing how badly the cybertruck is made, that's not really saying a lot. 😅

    Chinese cars are never going to be classic "E-type" or similar - they are cheap, reliable and available, which is what most people want - so will sell, in vast numbers - once people get over their "Chinese car syndrome"

    I remember when the problem was Japanese cars in the early 70's - look at them now !

    MTG is a known Trump ally - and if she's making money, you can be sure that the orange man is making even more - that's the reason that he is so happy about the bear market !

    If only there was an independent person to rule on this…….

    Saying about tarriffs , Trump putting 10% tarriff on the small island of Mcdonald and heard when the only inhabitants are penguins!, Also someone said in a comments it was also due to the island doing the same to America. What on earth are the penguins up to 😆

    Who's got the hand pump (for the inflatable Trump) ?

    He's invited himself for a September visit ….

    Speaking on Thursday, Trump said: "They're going to do a second, as you know, a second fest… that's what it is: a fest, and it's beautiful, and it's the first time it's ever happened to one person.

    "And the reason is we have two separate terms, and it's an honour… I'm a friend of Charles, I have great respect for King Charles and the family, William, we have really just a great respect for the family."

    What exactly does he think that UK residents really think of him ?

    "Fest" what does this mean ?
