    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 ?

    Does he mean "fiesta" or "festival" maybe? I think he'll find the reaction to his visit will be the opposite of what he thinks it will be. Personal opinion of course. 😅

    But doesn't the whole of the UK worship him?

    I mean - he has a HUGE brain and has come up with some very smart ideas

    Trump has apparently ordered a huge military parade, costing $92million to celebrate HIS 79th birthday. On June 14th

    Tens of Thousands of soldiers marching etc….

    How disgusting

    @Wibbles that's still less than the $300m he's set aside to accommodate his security teams at his golf resorts when he visits there. That's $300m straight into his own coffers.

    The guy's a felon, a conman, an adjudicated rapist, a serial cheater, a serial bankrupt, a serial liar, a married man who pays for sex, and has an unhealthy sexual obsession with his own daughter.

    He's got zero going for him, between the above, his vanity, his nappy, and his malodour, other than the moronic, MAGAts who really are too dimwitted by their racism and bigotry to even begin to have a clue what they have done.

    That's all against him

    Does he not have any good points ?

    @Wibbles yes he has. He's mortal. That's all I've got! 🙂

    Sorry, just 🤣🤣🤣 I nearly choked on my peppermint tea ha ha. A word I might have used had it come to mind ! Need to get back to the second half of my book (George Orwell), had ear infection and just recovered. I hope you're well.

    Oh stop it !!! Ha ha ha, every time I try to take a sip 🤣. It would struggle, hard to believe millions could vote it in. I said to my ex husband if it gets in I'll eat my hat. Luckily, I'd given my hats to a charity shop ha ha.

    I've not gone back to my book (the Rd to Wigan Pier one) since I posted the few photos from it several weeks ago. So I'd finished it, but not the second half which I think is more political and about the Luddites, not sure im right about that - I heed to just read it! but I'm going to read that tomorrow - eyes willing! Then I can start on the biography of him.
