Trump Is CLUELESS On What He Just Did To Himself 19:05

vor 5 hours19:05

19:05

So we had another White House Struggle Session this week, this time with Cyril Ramaphosa, the President of South Africa. President Trump's ambush, watched silently by Elon Musk, unloaded a stream of accusations based on social media disinformation that made the United States look, once again, utterly foolish in the direct view of the world. By doing this a second time, and given which country he chose to do it to, Trump has harmed himself and the interests of his country a lot more than he could ever realise. Let's discuss.…

Elon Musk Admits It’s Over – No More Political Money 15:22

vor 1 day15:22

15:22

We've known Elon Musk was on his way out for several weeks, but yesterday he added the final straw - he said he was going to cut any political spending right down. This is the final end of his political adventure, because it was only his potentially unlimited amounts of cash that gave him leverage over the GOP, and that kept him useful to the Trump team regardless of his personal unpopularity with the public. If that's being ruled out for the future, it gives you some idea of how wounded he is with the experience, and how much he realises it has damaged his business interests. So what does it mean - and what are the implications for Trump and the GOP? Let's discuss.…

The Truth About Trump and Putin's Big Phone Call 15:36

vor 2 Tagen15:36

15:36

US President Trump and Russian President Putin held their direct call - the one that was supposed to see Trump pushing Putin into embracing a 30-day ceasefire in the Ukraine war. The outcome seemed not to be much in doubt - it was pretty well known that Putin was not planning to cede to such demands. The only question was whether he could play Trump so well as not to lose his support and have him come out of the call in a rage. On that grounds, the victory seems hands-down one for President Putin. Indeed - when the European leaders heard Trump's account of the call, insiders have leaked that they were stunned with shock. Let's discuss what it means, and what happens next.…

The UK EU Brexit Reset Deal - Did It Blow Up UK Politics? 11:47

vor 3 Tagen11:47

11:47

The UK and the EU announced a big post-Brexit trade deal today. For some, it was a common sense shift from the original terms of the Brexit deal to make trade a little easier, and to facilitate much needed defence co-operation in the face of Trump's disruption of European defence realities. For others, it was a total betrayal of Brexit, and the reason why Trump-lite Reform UK's Nigel Farage could end up becoming the next prime minister - albeit not until 2029. So what's the truth? Let's discuss.…

Former US Ambassador To Ukraine SLAMS Trump Betrayal 12:41

vor 4 Tagen12:41

12:41

Bridget Brink was the US Ambassador to Ukraine during the three years post-invasion where the United States was standing relatively firm alongside its allies. Supporting the invaded party, opposing the aggressor. A month ago, she stepped down - and now she has come out with a blistering attack on the Trump Administration's policies towards Ukraine. Siding with Russia. Putting all the pressure on Ukraine. She had served under five presidents, she said, Republican and Democrat, but this now wasn't the America her grandparents would have recognised as the ideal they fought for. This attack comes as Trump prepares to make a direct call to Putin - so what happens next? Let's discuss.…

Trump Ambassador Attacks Canada For Being Mean To America 13:06

vor 5 Tagen13:06

13:06

So Trump's attempted interference in Canada backfired, and the Liberals' Mark Carney won the recent election. The question is - now what? Can Canada negotiate down those tariffs and establish a relationship with the US that puts Trump's annexing ambitions out of contention? And can it do that while doing what Carney said it must - diversifying its trading base to become less vulnerable to the future whims of the US? Because the Trump team have noticed that ambition, and they're pushing back against it hard. Let's discuss.…

Trump’s Insane Bid To Put Ex FBI Director In Jail - For Free Speech 14:44

vor 6 Tagen14:44

14:44

Every relevant senior member of the Trump cabinet has come out with an attack on former FBI Director James Comey - a truly astonishing exercise in gaslighting to swear that something nobody had previously suggested was the case, is self-evidently the case and it means that a pretty innocent social media post Comey put onto his Instagram feed was really a serious threat against the life of the President. It seems so ridiculous, it must be a prank. But the administration says it is launching an investigation, and numerous senior figures are saying they think Comey should be in jail. Is this the beginning of something - or just the worst example of trolling you could think of? Let's discuss.…

Why Trump REALLY Lifted Sanctions On Syria 14:08

vor 7 Tagen14:08

14:08

President Trump has had perhaps his best week so far of his second term, being hosted by some of the richest countries of the world. He has also been making jaws drop with bold moves, particularly in meeting the new leader of Syria Ahmed al-Sharaa, regardless of his recent status as a jihadist, and also announcing that he would be lifting sanctions against Syria, crediting as he did so the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia for the initiative. Even some of Trump's fiercest critics have welcomed the move. Others have expressed confusion that he did so without even asking for any concessions from the Syrians. They are missing the point of what is going on. Let's discuss.…

How Putin, China And The World Are Learning How To Play Trump 16:50

vor 8 Tagen16:50

16:50

It used to be that the United States, as the dominant world power, was the most powerful driving force behind world events, for better or for worse. It made mistakes sometimes, but it was a player. Now, with Trump in charge, the world has been learning that it has to manipulate him in order to get what it wants. Through flattery, or offering a deal, or refusing to budge until he inevitably backs down. This has changed the whole dynamic in ways you don't spot immediately. Although all the noise and bluster makes you think that the US is pushing everyone else to respond, actually, it has made itself into a piece on the board, rather than a player in its own right. Let's discuss.…

Why Trump’s MAGA Base Is FURIOUS With Him 11:50

vor 9 Tagen11:50

11:50

We've been taking it as read that Trump's MAGA base would stay unquestioningly loyal to him no matter what. But that support is starting to splinter. One half are noticing the blatant corruption, and they aren't happy because they believed in 'draining the swamp'. The other half are caught in a purity spiral that nobody can survive, and they are most furious this week with RFK Jr's pick of Casey Means for Surgeon General. It's early days, but it gives us a preview of how it may all start to disintegrate later in Trump's term. Let's discuss.…

How Trump's Lying Is Making The Whole World Stupid 16:51

vor 10 Tagen16:51

16:51

Yes, yes, we all know Trump lies - so what? Well, the point is that since the US is now bullying the entire world on trade, as well as using its leverage over various countries in other ways - this has changed the entire dynamic. World leaders are starting to repeat Trump's lies back to him. They are starting to attest in public that his (highly unlikely) telling of major events is in fact accurate. In other words, his fantasy reality is starting to seriously infect what leading players tell us about the world, and hence how we understand it. Let's discuss.…

Why Trump Is Already Panicking About The Midterms 13:12

vor 11 Tagen13:12

13:12

Trump only just completed his first hundred days, so it's a bit early to be thinking about it all ending, right? Except, by all reports, Trump is already obsessed about the looming midterm elections. Why? Because if he really HAS accepted that he can't run for a third term, which is what he says, then he sure wants to be able to make the most of his remaining full four years. The idea of reaching the half way point and then losing the House and / or the Senate, and having all the inquiries and impeachments - avoiding that is now his biggest goal. Let's discuss.…

Why Trump LOST To China Even Before Talks Started 11:39

vor 12 Tagen11:39

11:39

Having created a major impasse between the US and China with mutual tariff obliteration, Trump has been trying to work out how the US can extract itself from at least some of the self-inflicted harm. Since neither leader will call the other, second level executives from each side are meeting in Switzerland this weekend to conduct exploratory pre-negotiations. But Trump has already signalled he would be inclined to reduce tariffs to half the current amount - a visible sign of wavering that will surely only add strength and confidence to the other side, which currently insists he should remove all the tariffs. So what happens next? Let's discuss.…

US Caught Spying On Greenland To Prepare For Takeover 11:48

vor 13 Tagen11:48

11:48

Trump may have (reluctantly) accepted that Canada is not going to fall into his embrace, but he is going full speed ahead in his quest to get Greenland. This was evident when he sent JD Vance to visit there, and it was evident this week when the Wall Street Journal revealed that US spies have been tasked with covert surveillance on the island. Their mission - to sniff out the independence movement and how easy it would be to influence / win over, and to find any and all individuals whose views align with those of the United States. It all seems like preparation for a concerted operation to influence the population. But has it been scuppered now that it's been uncovered? Let's discuss.…

How Trump Bullied Tariffed Nations To Accept Musk’s Starlink 10:38

vor 14 Tagen10:38

10:38

On Trump's so-called 'Liberation Day', a number of countries suddenly discovered that they were to be whacked with massive tariffs from the United States - including some of the poorest countries in the world. They quickly set about trying to win favour with the Trump regime, to get to negotiate their way out of a hole they'd been thrust into for no fault of their own. Curiously, for a number of them this started with granting Elon Musk's business SpaceX with a licence to run its Starlink satellite internet service in the country. Now, a new report from internal memos in the State Department, shows how the Trump administration has been pushing and promoting Starlink across the world. 'Conflict of interest' doesn't come close. Let's discuss.…
