Trump's war with Iran is as unpopular among Americans as the Iraq War during the year of peak violence in 2006 and the Vietnam War in the early 70s, according to a WaPo-ABC poll.

61% say using military force was a mistake. Fewer than 2 in 10 believe U.S. actions have been successful.

More on the tariffs (NYT)

President Trump said Friday that he planned to increase tariffs on European cars and trucks because the European Union was not complying with a trade deal agreed to with the United States.
Mr. Trump said the tariff would increase to 25 percent beginning next week. The United States had lowered auto tariffs for the European Union to 15 percent as part of a trade deal between the governments, but U.S. officials have complained that the European Union isn’t moving fast enough to put it in place.
In February, the Supreme Court curtailed the president’s use of tariffs, saying that he had exceeded his authority in using an emergency law to impose tariffs. But the tariffs on European cars were issued under a separate, national security-related law, Section 232 of the Trade Act of 1964, and are not affected by the Supreme Court ruling.
“The European Union is not complying with our fully agreed to Trade Deal,” the president said a post on Truth Social.
The European Union has moved forward with the deal in recent weeks, pushing it through a key stage in the European Parliament, but it has still been going through final negotiations before ratification.

I'm moving to Manchester then!

What's happening with the Board (Bored?) of Peace?

Trump waiting for the members to pay their dues?

If they were smart, they'd have said they would pay "in two weeks" ....

The political techtonics are shifting rapidly. None of it favours the US.

(v busy work wise)

One day the USA will grow up and stop ALL gerrymandering

A few centuries later it will grow up and re introduce election funding controls

and maybe even universal suffrage

Taking the Lords name in vain ?

All he needs to now is to covet an ox, and he'll have the set. And a Bible to stick them in.

This is what shameless, greedy corruption looks like.

Is that one real ? Can't see it reported anywhere.

I am not saying it's fake. I can only get the doctor stories on my limited web.

This isn't a real Trump post (I've checked - and also the media would be all over it if it were), and the Thelma Johnson X account is a parody account. I know it seems like the kind of thing that Trump really would post, but it's not real, sadly!

Fucking hell!😱

Some utterly deranged TS posts from the orange one last night. Swimming in the reflecting pool anyone?

Can you see TS posts without joining it or getting an app or whatever?

Ok I've found that you can through a website but I don't seem to be able to see anyone's comments on the posts.

Yes, you can see Trump's posts on Roll Call, including filtering by platform. I've been able to click through to the original posts, to verify them.

In that case I will ask MN to delete it,
