The above is a quote from The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, said by Lord Elrond. At this stage, with POTUS practically pissing off every ally the US has while cosying up with several dictators, it seems quite apt.

'Americans would pay almost $6,000 more for a new car if tariffs come into play, say industry analysts.'

Ah! is there a gap in his economic planning strategy. Does he not have advisors?

lionheart · 03/07/2018 19:15

He listens to the 'arse from elbow' kind.

Thanks for the new thread. Name changed and lurking at the moment - building up energy for the protest on the 13th!

'Donald Trump has tweeted an unsubstantiated claim from an hardline Iranian cleric and circulated by a news agency linked to the country’s Revolutionary Guard, that thousands of Iranians were granted US citizenship as part of the 2015 nuclear deal.'

lionheart · 03/07/2018 20:20

'The UK government has pledged to cover up to £5m in extra policing costs if President Trump visits Scotland to go golfing later this month.'

Minimammoth · 03/07/2018 22:01

Why not just er....lock him up. Then he would be safe, or put him in a cage.

cozietoesie · 03/07/2018 22:32

Look on the brighter side, lion. With golf, you have a chance that he'll be kept busy. Grin
