All he's doing is pissing off everyone outside of the US. I personally boycott everything from the US that I possibly can until the current Trump regeme is removed. The tariffs placed on other countries will only hurt US businesses and citizens in the long run.

Latest weaving project. Loving the optical illusion that there are raised waves when, in fact, the fabric is perfectly flat.

I'm in Australia and hopefully getting accurate news. In my opinion, ANY US politician, Democrat or Republican who doesn't act to stop this dictatorship is equally complicit and guilty and should be removed from office. Respect to those who choose to stand up and fight this corrupt regime.

Southern Aurora Australis, taken in Victoria Australia tonight on my phone. Lots of high clouds, but I managed to get the Dancing Lady just above the horizon and below the clouds.

I wish all other countries would band together and say enough is enough, and that Trumps actions are illegal, destructive, inhumane, deluded and down right insane and put sanctions on the US until he is removed from power.

I don't want him to die (yet). I wish him a massive stroke, unable to speak but still has full awareness of his surrounds. As a result removed from office and forced to watch all the chaos he's created undone and nothing he can do about it, and only then in a fit of rage has heart attack and dies.

Time for the rest of the world to call out the current US govt for what it is-a dictatorship in the making with no respect for law or humanity, just some rich, corrupt thugs removing any opposition. Every country needs to put immediate sanctions on the US until the current ruling regime is removed.

I'm an atheist, just asking - what's his problem? He doesn't question that Jesus had long hair, wore a dress and sandals and hung around with a group of 12 men.

When bullshit, bullying, and bluff meets intelligence, reason and the law. Of course the cowards are going to look for any excuse to duck and weave.....again.

At the moment, I wouldn't want to go to the US even if you paid me millions. Let alone fly in American airspace, too unreliable and dangerous. Trump, Musk, the Republican party, plus the cowardice of most of the Democrat party, destroyed a once great country. I'll spend my $ at home in Australia.

So now that he's set a precedent, does that mean once he's no longer President, all Trumps pardons, past and future would be null and void. Only fair to follow on from what he's declared to put in place.

LOL definitely no Telsa's. My list was of food companies, because that's the sort of thing I shop for every week, rather than goods such as appliances, cars, tech stuff etc. Should I need anything like that I'll certainly be boycotting anything produced or owned by a US company.

I already do shop at Aldi. Initially, it was as a protest to "ColesWorth" price gouging. I'm pleasantly surprised how much I'm saving now, plus my local IGA pretty much has the same prices as Woolworths on the few things Aldi doesn't have.

Thankyou. The website that listed the top 100 American food companies obviously had some misinformation or out of date data. A few other people have also pointed out the error to me. I don't want to ban products from friendly countries, just the US. Cheers

Too true. So sad people have to resort to this sort of thing thanks to some psychopaths taking over the US government. I hope there's an end to this madness soon.

Thank you for the info, I went to a website that listed top 100 American food companies and Nestlรฉ was listed, but the page may be wrong or out of date, I'll double check. Cheers.

As an Australian,I will now avoid buying anything where profits go back to America until Trump/Musk/Vance etc. are gone and sanity returns to the US government. Coca Cola is now off my shopping list, ditto Pepsi, Nestle, Kraft, Heinz, Mars, Kellog, Unilever, Colgate-Palmolive, McCain to name a few.

Thank you. I've just bought a 32 shaft Louet Megado and about to try it out for the 1st time. Still dressing the loom at the moment. I'm only using some acrylic wool to experiment with initially and get my head around using a dobby loom. Wish me luck ๐Ÿ˜€
