The Supreme Court has upheld the lower Court's order for the return of the man wrongly deported, rejecting the White House's appeal 9-0.

According to Wikipedia GM have 35 factories involved in the automotive industry in the US, Ford have 28, Stellantis ( Chrysler ) have 17. Even if you added in every factory, workshop, and garden shed, involved in component manufacturing, you probably couldn't get much beyond 1000. Trump is just making up random numbers to sound informed and impress his MAGA morons, ( and GM ). The bigger the number, the more impressive Trump feels.

Proof the basis and formula for the tariffs is bollocks;

Baz ? ( Bloody well hope not, but suspect SR think so ).

More likely.

Still dropping. Which chapter of The Art of the Deal recommends crashing markets around the globe ?

John Turner signed on a short term loan by Lancashire.

That pre-supposes we get promoted before his contract expires.

Looking forward to 6 points next season, and playing a part in sending them down in 2026.

US imports from Russia last year were over $3Bn, exports were over $500M. More likely no tariffs so as not to upset Putin during the so called "peace" talks.

Dow down 750 points on early trading today, S&P down 140, NASDAQ down 450.. Care to comment GM ?

No, the penguins have to pay more.

Same as on Somalia.

Trump's main gripe seems to be that many countries are now better at protectionism than the US, which has historically been a protectionist economy. In his zeal to rebalance global trade he faces 2 major problems: (1) trade deals are complicated and take years to negotiate, and (2) such negotiations are 2-way affairs, rather than his "take my offer or fuck off" approach.

We all wish he would go away, as he has promised to do, but whenever he does still pop his head above the parapet it deserves to be walloped severely and his bullshit called out.

Threaten and posture, then back down when somebody stands up to you.

GM cuts and pastes.

So what is wrong with the last trade agreement Canada negotiated with Trump ?

I am amazed that GM hasn't quoted today's Daily Telegraph headline; "Trump blinks first in trade war. 90 day suspension of tariffs as he bows to criticism from key backers". Or the Daily Mail.... "Trump blinks" The I... "Trump backs down in global tariff war"

Considering that last week it dropped 2200 points in one day, not really worth boasting about.

Trump says that the US is making $2Bn a day from the tariffs, oblivious to the fact that it is US importers, and ultimately consumers, that are paying this.

She owes over $300 thousand dollars as a result of a failed election bid in 2022, most of which is supposed to have been paid back to donors within 60 days because the donations were actually in breach of electoral regulations.
