In other news, can anyone explain to me how Trump thinks tariffs work? I'm not sure if he thinks they work how they actually do.
Very good point about the pardons. Ultimately, they are 100% legal from both Presidents and so, unless the law is changed, they are what they are.


The Trump tariff argument seems to be a contentious point for many. However for the few, it seems really easy to understand.

I'll explain it how I explained it to someone over here.


I want to buy a sports car and my wife is 100% against it. I say to my wife that if I spend 100 thousand quid on a second-hand Aston Martin, my mid-life crisis will be sated and I'll be a happy man.

My wife says no way, that's too much money, but she says I could have a car for 50 thousand pounds.

So I go out and buy a second hand Porsche 718 for 50 thousand and get the car that I really wanted in the first place.

Happy wife, happy mid-life crisis gift for me.


Trump threatens Tariffs and it's a case of who blinks first. Normally it's not Trump - maybe because of too much Botox.


Listen to the story that Ben Shapiro was told by Trump about when Trump and Putin talked about Russia's 'expansion' plans. It sums up his MO in a snapshot.

Peace through strength.
