[Politics] Donald Trump, US President

[Papa Lazarou]

Apparently, his Congress speech is at 2am so in just under 4 hours time. Christ knows what we'll all be waking up to tomorrow morning.

This morning was bad enough - when I turned on BBC news not only were they announcing Trump had suspended all USA military aid to Ukraine but 5ive were in the studio promoting their reunion tour.

Each day in the UK dawns to some fresh hell from the US.

I know you know this and are being deliberately defensive as you need to blame someone else for your poor decisions but they were forecasts. Decisions taken by Osborne and Hammond diverted some of those. If you're told it will rain and get you wet but you put up an umbrella it doesn't mean the forecast is wrong.

But house prices have dropped from what they were expecting to go to. We have failed to create the jobs the.economic trajectory was moving to. There were emergency economic decisions taken

I see, so the post Brexit forecasts at large in 2016 from the CBI, HMT et al, also baked in the future affect of events such as Covid and Ukraine?

Genius, I’m gutted to have missed that memo……..

@spence et al, how the f*** are you still defending these ****s? How?

Nothing cheery there then.

Trump news definitely upsets and also 5ive will make you get down

I never said that. Only an idiot would try and make out that I did. I was referencing 2016 to 2019. I thought a supposed genius like yourself would have worked that out.

However one could make a decent argument for how brexit was part of the same underlying cause and potentially emboldened Russia to invade Ukraine . But I haven't relied on that

Does anyone else think that maybe crashing the economy is actually the plan, not just the result of incompetence?

If prices nose dive, there'll be rich pickings for all Trump's billionaire friends. The rich always get richer and especially during a recession, when prices are low and people desperate to sell.

See Sunday's crypto pump and dump as an example. Somebody bought multiple millions of dollars of crypto with 50x leverage shortly before Trump's strategic crypto reserve post.

But you know what you need to do - get on up, when you’re down.

By the morning he'll be providing a backstop for Russian troops in Kursk.

I’m not going to split hairs, the statement you made on house prices didn’t reference a time window, however it’s evident since 2016 that house prices are not down and no where near the doom spiral predicted by Osbourne, Darling, Brown and all the other organs of the establishment that predicted national Armageddon. Arguably, and 8 years on an adjustment downwards in house prices could be positive, but it’s difficult to see that given the need to house our new citizens.

Re Brexit and the invasion of Ukraine I would consider the failure of the Minsk Agreements was much more relevant as an underlying root cause.

Seriously beginning to wonder if we are all being trolled at this point...

 

[BadFish]

I am watching the beginning his speech and it is staggering how little says, it amazes me how people lap this shit up!

That of course remains unexplained by his supporters on here. So I guess it's not easy to explain.

For me though most people in most walks of life in most situations would listen for a minute or two and conclude that this bloke is full of shit.

But here he stands, f***ing the world up for all but his billionaire and dictator cronies.
