    If Trump likes us, I feel like we’ve gone wrong somewhere

      Don’t worry, he only likes the white ones

    I’m sure being liked is the correct metric to decide trade agreements with far reaching consequences.

      I’m wondering if it’s anything to do with us not being in the mean and nasty EU.

    So they're protected somewhere between 2 hours and 4 years?

    Remember the NAFTA-Deal he negotiated and then called one of the worst deals he has ever seen?

    Starmer kissing the pinkie ring paid off I guess, well done to him for navigating that

    This really just sounds like dictator bullshit… No logic to it other than “I am the leader and I like them so they get a pass.” Ffs…
