after years of globilisation the world certainly seems to be becoming a smaller more fractured expensive place again with all this protectionist BS
trump. - i dont like tarriffs, the rest of you are stiffing my country, its about time it stopped. Lets do a deal?
EU - we dont care trump, we are the unelected bullying masters of the universe and will do as we please to anybody
Chinese - we dont care either, you keep buying all our cheap junk cos your predessors and countrymen were stupid
Canadian - i dont understand, im only a youngster trying to play on the big stage and look tough, but im daft.
Mexicans - but we wanna sell you drugs and dump undesirables on you senior Trump, no border controls please.
UK - we just want to trade with you all and play fair, why is that so difficult to understand Mr Barstewadnier
Google - i'll just turn our search engine off and you'll all be screwed lol
Microsoft - nice plan Google we'll shut down the worlds PC's
Amazon - and we wont sell you nowt either suckers.
Apple - what else are you going to waste your money on if we stop selling you our crap too, were loaded.
End result is we all lose except the americans, as their leader, like him or not is doing what his people voted for and support him. Conversation should be:-
Trump - i dont like tarriffs blah blah blah, lets do a deal.
everyone else - ok neither do we, how about no tariffs at all and we all get along.
Trump - deal.
Glencore - a sustained rise ffs.
Can you tell im having a bored afternoon.
