Trump's tariff tally: $34 billion and counting, global companies say -

https://www.reuters.com/business/trumps ... 025-05-29/

President Donald Trump's trade war has cost companies more than $34 billion in lost sales and higher costs, according to a Reuters analysis of corporate disclosures, a toll that is expected to rise as ongoing uncertainty over tariffs paralyzes decision making at some of the world's largest companies.

What a fucking mess.
Elon has fucked him off as well.


“during a White House event earlier held before the ruling was published, Trump was asked about a nickname given to him by some critics on Wall Street: Taco - which stands for "Trump always chickens out".

Since returning to office for a second time, Trump has repeatedly changed his stance on tariffs - for instance, rates on China have been slashed from 145% to 30%. Trump said "it's called negotiation" when asked about his changing stance on tariff rates, and accused a reporter of asking a "nasty question".”

TACO 🌮

It's Macron trying to immediately style out the assault by waving to the watching worlds press and well wishers like he's about to host Strike it Rich at the top of the stairs that gets me everytime I see it. 😆



Domestic violence is just a joke apparently..

"I was bickering, or rather joking, with my wife," Macron told reporters in Hanoi. "It's nothing."He cautioned that this was not the first time in recent weeks that the content of videos of him had been twisted by people he described as "crackpots".


Well which is it, Macron, bickering or joking? Because they are 2 very different things and your bullshit cover-up doesn't stack up. 

And don't give us any of that old flannel about it being your 'wife', we all know it has bigger bollocks than you do.

Wow. They're downplaying domestic violence whilst gaslighting everyone that witnessed it now..

An Elysee official said of the latest video: "It was a moment when the president and his wife were relaxing one last time before the start of the trip by having a laugh. It was a moment of closeness."

They're already blatantly lying by rubbishing claims of domestic violence. She/he clearly physically assaulted him without provocation. If they can openly lie about something we all clearly witnessed, what else could they lie about...

Are you honestly suggesting you didn't alluded to that?  Because that's exactly what it appears like.
 
 
If thats how you read it thats your problem. To emphasise my point I was being sarcastic about how Trump was not digging him out. 🙄 

If you actually watched the meeting he was more interested in talking about hostages, tarrifs and the houthis than anythinh. Yes he mentions stopping the war hut he does not call Benny Boy out!
