Seems we sell 57,000 tonnes of butter to the US.
If we could get everyone in China to buy a kilo of Irish butter per year.
1,500,000,000,Kgs = 15,000,000 tonnes (I think)
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

To raucous applause from Republicans, Trump declared: "America's momentum is back. Our spirit is back. Our pride is back, our confidence is back. And the American dream is surging, bigger and better than ever before."

Not sure if that's the exact quote. He said you gotta like how they voted for him.

Why wouldn't they? What we're seeing can't come as a shock to his voters.

There's a bunch of people who didn't expect to be targeted who have lost their jobs/contracts with the federal government.  You know, who didn't expect the leopards to eat their faces. 

If I'd voted for Trump, his shenanigans with tariffs and their effect on the stock market would be giving me second thoughts.

I'm just glad I'm a fair few years from retirement age. I'm afraid to look at my pension plans with the games this idiot is playing on the economic front. Anyone who is close to opting out should be terrified.

He's already cost me a few grand.  Just like the last time.

"Price movements" the new name for inflation according to MAGA heads. Going to get a balanced budget under Trump and all will be fine. Yeah right.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose
