If Trump wants more than strategic advice from Europe on the Strait of Hormuz, the price should be a gigantic US military aid package for Ukraine to compensate for the additional oil revenue Russia is receiving due to the Iran War.

Military aid. Not defence contracts paid by Europe.

This man is an evil psychopath.

Change the names of the countries and these could be the ravings of any of the worst butchers and tyrants of modern history

Europe should have the bare minimum of dealings with him and his corrupt cabal necessary and be proud to disassociate itself from his regime.

Why isn't anyone quietly replacing Trump's shoes overnight with larger ones? Every night, they grow half a size. He can't understand it. Asks his entourage. No no, they say, gesturing at their gaping heel space and blister plasters. That's how everyone's wearing them now. You're so fashionable.

Trump is a fabulously, extravagantly stupid man who has been easily manipulated by a range of figures from Vladimir Putin to Xi Jinping to Kim Jong-Un to Jeffrey Epstein. He is not the first US president to be notably dim, but he might be first notably dim US president to insist that he doesn't need advisers, gatekeepers nor professionals running his government.

I'm breaking out in a cold sweat as I remember the 750 page, 23 chapter monster I inherited from a predecessor. All the files had to stay in one folder and if you dared to break that rule, the whole lot would collapse into a gibbering mess yelling "File not found you idiot"

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

I'd say a plus b.
a) He's being paid as MP for Clacton but buggering off to Mar y Lago.
b) It sure as hell won't come out of his own pocket!

The oil price saves the Russian economy, so Putin thanks Trump by sending intel...to Iran.

But that's not important, apparently.

They are just so dumb.

You couldn't make this up

Putin is supporting Iran with intelligence in the war

Yet Trump is considering unsanctioning more Russian oil according to Bessent

A clueless US Administration, in way over its head

President Trump demands unconditional surrender in respect of something his government insists is not a war.
