He certainly is a unit 244. Typical outrageous Aussie humour.

Here is the kicker on Trump……

Australia has a free trade agreement with the US and the US is in surplus with trade between the two nations yet he slaps a 10% tariff on us.

Recently, we handed over $US500m to the US government which is the first of 6 payments to help bolster the ailing nuclear submarine building program under the umbrella of the $AUS365b trilateral AUKUS program. Your government is now questioning the merits of AUKUS and have called for an inquiry.

Trump is utterly reviled in this country and is a very common point of discussion.

And now this morning, China are reaching out to us to improve our trade relationship…….who saw that coming.

Nah. It’s the same lunacy on all the channels.

From my good buddy, “Larry the Cat” at 10 Downing:

"The stages in a Donald Trump deal:

  1. Lie about something being a problem
  2. Do something to “fix” it, which causes an actual problem
  3. Say you won’t reverse what you’ve done
  4. Reverse what you’ve done
  5. Say ‘Art of the deal’"

Spot on…..:+1:.

But the penny? He said he would do away with the penny but the US Mint has not announced a discontinuation of the penny. The penny and plastic straws were his two major issues I supported him on. I am losing faith.
But I’m looking forward to the North Korea, Russia, China style 100 million dollar military parade to celebrate the Mango Mussolini’s birthday.

I know “everything is bigger in America”, but that you need a “communist ladder” to pick vegetables is unbelievable, :star_struck:
Oh well, just about EVERYTHING that comes out of the US these days are unbelievable. :open_mouth:.

PS> Maybe you got confused; tomatoes grows on bushes, but they are not vegetables, they are fruits that has been mislabelled and ended up in the vegetable section. :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

BTW; Does ladders have ideologies in America? :confused:

57

Hence I see similarities to other country which claimed to have biggest everything including biggest dickheads .
And also similarities in thinking. Example : Pull Dr.Sal old video on the diplomatic spat btw USA and Solomon ( i am not sure -but surely island nation) regarding cancellation of US Navy or USCG visit there.

" we liberated them so how they dare to refuse us and ignore us" sth along this line.

Well , soviet era aparatchicks got the same line of argumentation regarding former Warsaw Pact members. Acting and yapping like twins . :winking_face_with_tongue:

Woke ideology embraces all tools. Meantime good old R.R. Uncle take on tariffs.

Actually, after all the jokes and memes poking fun at these islands being included on the list of countries under the 10% general tariff, the Trump administration still haven’t removed them AFAIK. (Correct me if I’m wrong)
