The fawning bought the UK a 10% tariff in a world where Trump could have made it 100% if he’d wanted to.

The SCOTUS IEEPA ruling means he’s now restricted to a max of 15% and that has to be applied universally. Much more difficult to use it punitively against a country that’s pissed him off. 1/2

What percentage of Monaco’s population are immigrants I wonder?

Clean coal sits alongside pretty ugly, virtual reality and jumbo shrimp.

Or that he employs a large number of immigrants in his businesses.

If you have a slow court system, you start the process as soon as possible.

The time for ‘exceedingly reasonable’ is in the rear view mirror, Chuck.

If you can’t already see that, it’s time for you to be in that rear view mirror too.

On this side of the pond, Brexit supporters have taught us the same since 2016.

They won.

But rather than bask in their victory, they remain perpetually angry. Full of grievance and determined to inflict further damage with every opportunity they get.
