US Politics

The only way to know for sure if most Brits do not like Trump is to ask everyone 🤷🏻‍♂️

A bias opinion poll on a small number will not be factual.

I can easily go into a room of Trump supporters and conduct a poll saying they all like him. Likewise go into a room of looney libs and they will all say they don't like him 🤷🏻‍♂️

As such my comment remains the same. There is no factual evidence to say most people in the UK dislike the President.

Laughable.
 
Imagine a world delivered from the chaos of United States and Israel.

Paradise.

We shoud join BRICS.

Peaceful co-existence, mutual co-operation.

Hopefully an end to our illusions about special relationships and 'allies' become more realistic, although obviously not in Ms Badenoch's case.

It's not going to recover to previous levels any time soon. Whatever the end result, tariffs that didn't exist before will still exist in some way, shape or form which makes companies less competitive globally and therefore their share price lower.

Even if Trump rowed back entirely on the tariffs he has spooked the markets enough to create long lasting uncertainty (which businesses and the markets hate the most) as well as erode trust with its closest allies and trading partners. The US has turned inward and other major economies and close trading partners are turning away from it, so it's not just going to be some automatic reset that sees things recover as quickly as he's f*cked them.

That post was essentially just referring to profit making really, not a wider discussion on the US economy.

I don't agree that what Trump has done here will mark a dramatic shift in economic trust in the US.....for two reasons.....One, for countries to do that would be severe on their economies for years and the democracies they will move heaven and earth to avoid that.....So I do see deals for Europe and related countries....Longer term both the US and Europe will certainly gradually de-couple I agree, but I don't personally believe in this dramatic effect lasting.

Two....The US market is massive....Not to trade with the US just isn't sensible. There will be a period of adjustment but let's not overegg the pudding.

In terms of Trump's protectionist policy in general.....like I've said, I think it makes sense on a smaller scale to this as Boyle's video mentioned....Biden had his own version of protectionism....However, I do agree that some of the reasoning is counter productive and possibly faulty.

However, I'll watch and see how it plays out.....It's not as if any of us have an option is it.

BRICS have much better potential in their economies than we do, Russia excepted. Personally I wouldn't want to join in a Putin venture

Ok I'm in Steely.

When we going? You organise the bus trip to Moscow and I'll get Becky on the sandwiches.

Because India, China and Russia are all great friends. Almost like brothers. And they really care about Brazil and South Africa for far more than materials. They care about their culture and heritage and the general wellbeing of all their people.
