Trump

[manlyfan76]

Re tariffs, part of the issue for me is how reactive and unplanned it all seems. I’m not convinced it’s part of a broader strategy. It feels more like improvisation than negotiation.

There’s definitely a place for tariffs in trade negotiations when they’re part of a clear plan, as outlined in the article you shared.

But “90 deals in 90 days”? The only reason things haven’t blown up more is the widespread assumption that Trump will eventually fold.....the “Trump taco” approach, if you like.

Did you see the recent interview when asked about deals he said " all I have to do is send a letter, Mr Japan: your tariff will be"

Really bad.

Agree

I watch a heap of his press conferences un edited / stream. I am amazed that the same (correct) questions asked of biden are not asked about Trump and his somewhat erratic approach.

I am not saying he is senile etc as that is impossible to judge but some of the stuff in those press conferences are wild

Fair but who pays for it….

It is also disappointing that we are once again going down the personal smear route. I can assure you I can post just as many articles calling into question the integrity/ethics/judgement of recent democratic leaders. It is also disappointing that the perennial “uneducated base” line gets another airing. As I have said before, I prefer to just debate actions and policies on their merits, without the moralising/grand standing/virtue signalling.

Well if I can’t say a large portion of his base is uneducated then it leaves them in a worse position; gullible, racist, ignorant or a mixture of the three

@Brookie1973 I know what you’re asking from Santa for Christmas!

Criticising Trump doesn't mean you support Democrats. He's screwing Australia too (as well as just about everyone else)(aside from his billionaire buddies)(and his mates like Putin)
