Trump Watch

Rather than put my rants about Dictator Trump into my blog, I've decided he requires his own page!

On a daily basis this egomaniac convicted criminal simply is destroying the world and working toward his ultimate goal of white supremacy.

Today's news is that whilst Australia has received the lowest tariffs in the world from Trump in that we are only to receive a 10% tariff on ALL exports to the USA, we should have been exempt from all tariffs because all we have to do is turn off Pine Gap and our satellites and the US Defence Force is done.

Ambassador Rudd may well have made excellent connections under Biden but he will receive no audience with Trump so we need a new Ambassador that knows how to suck up to this idiot.

Thanks Donald!

Not a single economist in the world predicted this:
3.1T USD wiped off the US Stock Market in one day (the first time since COVID in 2020).
The NASDAQ has dropped 5.95%
Australian Superannuation companies have been investing in America pending a review into their funds being so large (as a safe haven) at the worst possible time.
The irony is that the people affected the worst by all of this will be Americans.

The S&P 500 plummeted 6% Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 5.5% and the Nasdaq composite dropped 5.8%.

The US is now in a technical recession and China have matched Trump's tariffs.

Non-God Bless him!

Not only has Apple lost more than 10% of its stock because of Trump's moronic tariffs get ready for new iPhone costs. Australia's rare earth minerals are critical to Apple, Samsung and HP.

This is why Trump will only intervene in Ukraine if they give up their wealth of rare earth minerals. He doesn't care about the War at all.

Thanks again Trump - you really are doing a great job at fucking up the world.

The ASX shed $100B in biggest one-day fall in five years as Trump tariffs send shares tumbling.

Other times when the ASX dropped by more than 4% include during the pandemic, the 2008 global financial crisis and the 1987 stock market crash.

140% Tariffs on China 09/04/2025. What happens when China just stops supplying goods to the US? Because that's what's next.

Hmmmmmm.

No Mexicans, no Chinese, no immigration from developing countries, US AID Department axed.

Deportation camps being set up.

Anyone heard of something like this before?

"Apple airlifts 1.5 million iPhones from India to avoid Trump tariffs. Tech giant Apple chartered cargo flights to ferry 600 tons of iPhones, or as many as 1.5 million, to the United States from India, after it stepped up production there in an effort to beat President Donald Trump's tariffs, sources told Reuters".

Then overnight Trump was so terrified of the costs of smart phones and laptops in the US going up that he made an exemption for his Chinese tariffs for electronic devices.
