So Trump is moving nuclear subs near Russia because people keep asking him about a pedophile sex trafficker?

Good. I was appalled by the casual misogyny from his entourage. So dismissive and defensive. Very concerning behaviour from the team of a mayoral candidate.

US stock markets see worst day since Covid pandemic after investors shaken by Trump tariffs All three major US index funds close down as Apple and Nvidia, two of USโ€™s largest companies, lose combined $470bn

Trump on his tariffs:

โ€œThe markets are going to boom. The stock is going to boom. The country is going to boomโ€.

I think the word he is looking for is KABOOM! ๐Ÿ’ฅ
