Trump speech at DAVOS

And all their friends know who the PM is.

It's called 'I fucking love Australia'

I know I keep repeating this but people are missing my earlier posts clarifying the matter.

Their debt levels are a huge worry though - and everyone thinks the US stock market is in a bubble - actual real world econcomic indicators have been poor for a while and food inflation been high.

TBF I agree US economy has out performed many dire predictions so far how long it can do so remains to be seen.

The worlds slowly changing supply lines - which hate uncertainty - and they may well be long term as continuity is valued.

Things like international tourist decline is starting to hit US jobs and businesses and it starting to sink this isn't a blip and is likely to get worse.

I saw John Stewart point out difference between Hilter and Trump before they started wars - Hitler was popular and Trump isn't.

I have to say, I don't think that is consistently true, I have teens and the youngest knows who the Green party Leader is because of their presence on Tik Tok.

It was mentioned above by the poster, search for "I fucking love Australia"

Cognitively he appears to be very challenged, but that might be just the manifestation of his ego/narcissism. Physically he looks pretty robust to me for a nearly 80 yr old. There's no proof that I've seen of any major physical issues. Yes I know he has bruises, but so have I from aspirin. He can walk, and by heck can he talk, not making much sense mind, but he has the energy to drone on for over an hour non stop.

Not buying his imminent demise, unless it's by assassination.

Don't you mean "hopefully" rather than "surely"?

Me too. I'll try and find it another way

interesting reply from Trump regarding MC’s speech. Kind of threatening?

No we don't. The rest of the world will get on fine without Trumps usa

That's due to size. An equivalent comparison, Europe, has a bigger GDP. And?

Just because of power it shouldn't mean others cower to this white settler state.

his proposed “Golden Dome” defence system is “by its very nature, going to be defending Canada.”
“Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way, they should be grateful also, but they’re not,” he said. “I watched your (prime) minister yesterday, he wasn’t so grateful.”

“They should be grateful to us, Canada,” he added. “Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements.”

Can someone please tell me just who the US has been protecting Canada from?

Because I'm not aware that Canada has many/any enemies except the US (trump).

AFAIK only the US has invaded Canada, twice (1775, 1812), and now has threatened to take it (51st).

Why the fuck would Canada want to be under a Golden Dome with its abuser?

@NotMeAtAll the reply from Greenland on that was rather cute; our internet is prone to going down for long periods and it’s very unfortunate when power shortages lead to water pipes freezing and bursting.
Hinting his stay will be made rather miserable.

The maddest thing is, they didn’t learn the first time! They voted him in again. Whoever said “America got the president they deserved “ is spot on. Unfortunately, we’re all part of the fallout.

USA contributes almost 29% to the world GDP at 30 trillion. To put that into perspective, Germany is third with 5 trillion.

Say what you want about Trump but the economy has continued to dramatically improve under him. USA is the powerhouse of the world and we need them a lot more then they need us.

Surely his health will fail soon?

One of the best quotes I read was when the orange one first got elected. It was Stephen King on twitter, paraphrasing, “This is scarier than anything I’ve ever written.” Yep.

Posters perhaps aren't aware of the depth of ignorance in the US. In general, people seem to have no knowledge at all about other countries.

I used to visit the US a lot, before Trump (I haven't been since he was elected), and I've been asked
(1) Is London near England? (or maybe it was the other way round, is England near London)
(2) Is Canada east of the US?

I have relatives in the US, and they are appalled by Trump.

Hmm. Farage is still betting the house on MAGA. Saying the world will be safer when the USA owns Greenland. This might play well with the hard core Reform supporters. But I doubt it will be a hit with the wider electorate? It's hard to say whether Nigel - A. Really believes this . B. Is losing his touch. C. Couldn't give a monkey's and is happy to remain in opposition anyway.

The recently appointed US ambassador to Iceland said that it will become the 52nd state and that he will be governor. I don't know if it was a joke, but it was highly inappropriate conduct for an ambassador.

That is bloody brilliant. Why is THIS not the front-page headline in The Guardian? We're just sitting watching this shit happen ...

"Britain Crawls Back to China While America Burns Bridges Like It's a National Fucking Sport"

We've got another 3 years of this lunatic.
