IMF predicts some dire economic outlook as a result of the orange menace tariffs- most tellingly on the US economy, followed by France Italy and Germany. UK seems to be getting off relatively lightly

[Wooden Spoon]

So the orange menace today at his press conference that China are paying billions due to his tariffs -!it’s not China it’s the US public paying a tax on imports - is he and are the US public that dumb they don’t see the difference?


He now says he’s not happy with Russia but applies no pressure that’s visible - what concessions have you got from Russia “not taking the whole country”


Wow. That’s incredible from Krasnov.

Wow. That’s incredible from Krasnov.

But it's all okay 'cos the marmalade Mussolini's told "Vladimir" - first name terms, obviously - to "STOP!".

In big letters.

Followed by an exclamation.

So he must really, really mean it.

Yet not enough to impose a single sanction, of course.

At least the pretence is now over, though.

No more maybe or perhaps or possibly, no more excuses or diversions and certainly no more 'wait and see'.

Trump's betrayal of the heroic Ukrainians is complete.

Instead of ending the war in his bombastically boasted day he's spent a hundred or more abandoning them. Selling them down the river. Hanging them out to dry.

Publicly humiliating their emblematic leader.

And for what - so he can triumphantly declare himself a peacemaker? Brag what a dealmaker he thinks he is? Hear his mindless sycophants peddle more vacuous adoration as the real world looks on agape?

Or to hand the Kremlin war criminal the surrender he demands.

I listened to a heartbreaking report from a Kiev based aid worker this morning. He narrated his relief at watching US donated Patriot systems bringing down Russian missiles, then his desolation at the knowledge they wouldn't be replaced. That sooner or later those missiles would get through. To massacre even more innocents.

Many, many more.

The blood of those innocents will be as red on Trump's hands as Putin's...
