Quote from: Nanderson on November 09, 2024, 08:49:17 AMRobert Lighthizer, who was US trade representative when Donald Trump launched his trade war with China, has been asked to take the job again as the president-elect starts to build his cabinet team. Several people familiar with the discussions inside Trump's transition team said Lighthizer had been asked to return to the role even though he was lobbying for a different position, including commerce secretary. Lighthizer had also expressed interest in serving as Treasury secretary, but that position will most likely be offered to a financier, with contenders including the hedge fund managers Scott Bessent and John Paulson. The possibility of an arch protectionist being reappointed to the pivotal trade role is likely to raise concerns in Beijing, as well as among US trading allies, given how influential Lighthizer was during Trump's trade wars during his first term. Trump has vowed to impose high tariffs on all imports into the US, particularly Chinese goods.Quote from: seafoid on November 09, 2024, 07:52:16 AMThings are getting awkward.Can you post the article text please if you can

Ireland normally win these friendlies and the media think they're the best team ever only to get found out when it counts. Hopefully the opposite happens now.As long as they learn from this loss. That is how the all blacks do it

The big losers are ordinary dumb voters waiting to the golden age trump promised themQuote from: Armagh18 on November 06, 2024, 01:12:20 PMQuote from: gallsman on November 06, 2024, 11:26:33 AMIt's true.Quote from: theskull1 on November 06, 2024, 10:39:28 AMBoth full on America Firsters AND fervent Zionists delighted at the result.

Watch again in this administration how Jews control America (and rest of the West).
This is acceptable on the board now, is it?
It's pure, ignorant and bigoted idiocy.
Quote from: Rossfan on November 06, 2024, 01:17:47 PMGive the *people what they voted for and give it to them good and hard.Mencken had the quote about democracy and giving it good and hard. He got to see the changeover of power after WW2 when the system was designed for workers and not the rich. He couldn't understand the new system.
Was it Charlie Haughey said that?
*that's if you can consider Yanks as people. Evolution seems to be reversing at a rate of knots in that stolen territory.

The sponsors got the riches

Quote from: Muck Savage on November 06, 2024, 09:02:53 AMIt's not as much about Trump as the people around him. It's turbo plutocracy and to hell with the gobshites who voted for himQuote from: Wee Barky on November 06, 2024, 08:04:46 AMWhat's the likely impact on the Ukraine war? Will trump reduce funding that will lead to a Russian victory ?He'll likely look to "broker" a deal where the war stops, Russia take what the have and regroup until after he leaves office in 4 years
He will then look to arm the rest of Europe with weapons but make them pay for all generating wealth for the usual suspects and jobs for working class
As for the Middle East, he will look to bring back the sanctions on Iran and try to take them out of funding Hamas etc.
I do hope that this time around he might be a bit softer and look build bridges at home but that could be wishful thinking.
