    Beyond frightening. But incredibly, not an isolated case. He is but one in the Trump cabal.

    Has it been clarified what the tariffs are on?

    Is it everything imported or just a finished product/service?

    Apparently he’s dropped them for the automotive industry for a month but it would have been every time a part crossed the border. Sounds like the big auto firms in the US have had to get involved to get Trump to move. God knows what happens at the end of the month.

    It's a flat tariff applied to any imports. As mentioned by mido, the automotive industry have clearly outlined how disastrous it is for their sector, so they've been paused for a month. China, Mexico and Canada appear to be responding in kind but more targeted on particular products and sectors, at least to start with.

    It's unhinged thinking and will hurt his own country hugely. I can only think he expects mass production to quickly occur in the US to replace lost imports, but somehow believe other countries will buy US products so US become a net exporter. I'm not sure I see that happening.

    Drill baby drill. I'm surprised they even bothered sending anyone.

    Hitler... Capitalise on economic hardship of the population post WW1 and humiliation of the restitution terms imposed on them promising to 'Make Germany Great Again'

    Trump... Capitalise on economic hardship of the population post COVID/ decline of traditional heavy industry etc. promising to 'Make America Great Again'

    Hitler... Have a scapegoat to blame.. i.e. The Jewish industrialists/ Jews in general

    Trump... Have a scapegoat to blame i.e. The migrants/ liberal wokeists.

    Hitler..Curtail free speech and take control of the free press and media

    Trump..ditto e.g. excluding the Associate Press and stating the WH will determine those who will be granted access to WH briefings i.e. Only those who support Trump policies or at least are not critical of him.

    Hitler.. form alliances with another Fascist dictator ( Stalin) with the intention of carving up Europe / World between them to create a new World order.

    Trump.. form alliances with another Fascist dictator (Putin) with the intention of carving up Europe / World between them to create a new World order.

    Hitler.. remove vocal opposition and surround yourself with sycophants repeatedly lying to them and gullible electorate eager to believe it those lies as it is exactly what they want to hear.

    Trump.. ditto

    Hitler..Remove any opposition in high places in Govt military judiciary and disregard legal constitutional precedents replacing them with loyal supporters

    Trump..ditto

    Hitler... Ensure you have wealthy industrialists etc on board to bankroll your plans. e.g. Krup, Schacht etc

    Trump Ensure you have wealthy billionaires. ,on board. e.g. Musk, Bezos Zuckerberg etc.

    History repeating itself.. hopefully ending I the same ( minus a WW obviously,,,)

    The ones equally to blame for the way things are going are GOP. who are too cowardly to stand up to the bullying (and whilst there are those who actually believe the lies he spouts there are sufficient numbers within the Republicans who, combined with the more rational Democrats, could stop him in his tracks.

    Depressing dangerous times.

    Here’s a good one. Note the bit about Trumps claim that $8m was being spent on ‘transgender mice’. A great example of how he lies and people nod approvingly.

    This will not surprise anyone, Musk is asking Trump to pardon Derek Chauvin the man who killed George Floyd, my guess is it will happen. Trump has also said anyone demonstrating about Gaza will be arrested

    How did Brexit empower the above? Can't see Trump being empowered by it... and Adolf wasn't around for it.

    Because it weakened the EU. At the behest of Russia.

    And now the US and Trump are part of the plan.

    He’ll continue to ignore the fact he voted for and heavily backed the UK shooting itself in the face the same way the US currently is.

    He's now said he wouldn't aid Taiwan if it was attacked by China. A long term US agreement.

    You really have to wonder if the butchering of costs and stepping away from potential conflict and future cost is to generate surplus which suddenly gets channelled and siphoned to cronies and the Trump estate.
