Trump and his collaborators managed to insult their hosts and most of the attendees this week at the WEF Davos 2026: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd9ez1nj3n3o. Trump, Lutnick and Bessent lied, insulted the intelligence of their audience (might be ok with Fox News viewers), made racist remarks and insulted whole populations with comments such as they are “irrelevant” or…
It’s not just foreigners that Trump hates!
How about sacking government employees who protect Americans from weather disaster? Good idea: better to “own the libs” than spend money on the poor folks who can only afford to buy or rent in flood or hurricane areas. That said, it isn’t just Trump. It is the enablers who vote for him, Republican’s in congress…
Can’t trust the US!
The US promised Patriot missiles to Ukraine, who are trying to stop the unprovoked aggression of Russia. Now the US is reneging on the promise. The US has become transactional under Trump and the Republicans. So what is the quid pro quo for helping Russia?
Trump threatens Canada so tech companies don’t pay tax
Trump has said that he would stop negotiating all trade deals with Canada if it imposed its 3% tax on US, Canadian and other tech companies. This is like sales tax! Once again the US bullies its so-called allies. If possible, don’t use US tech if they aren’t going to pay local taxes. Do you…
Can you trust a carnival barker?
Government negotiations where one side is a carnival barker who shouts to the media while on the way to helicopter and golf match, or by ranting on social media? The US is run by a carnival barker who negotiated the “best” trade deal ever with Canada and Mexico, and then reneges on it because it…
No to Twitter/X, and yes to….
Obviously, Twitter has been a tool of MAGA to help cause economic damage to other countries, even those who were considered allies. There can be an alternative, and if you are interested in using or investing in an alternative, please email us.
TACO trading
Trump Always Chickens Out (“TACO”) trade has been getting a lot of press. The trade is on the basis that whatever Trump does which is negative, won’t matter because the US will bounce back. This is probably the stupidest thing I’ve heard. The fact that people let Trump do stupid stuff makes the US a…
Meta/Facebook/WhatsApp/Insta… can you risk it?
Questions have arisen about seemingly random foreigners being stopped at US airports and asked to hand over their phones, tablets and computers, and are then found to have found anti-Trump comments. Could be conspiracy theories, but people are saying that Meta (the owner of the ubiquitous applications are letting the US government trawl through their…
No to Brooks, yes to ASICS shoes
I’ve owned many pairs of Brooks Adrenaline GTS runners, but it time to move on. ASICS have an equivalent alternative so no need to sacrifice to boycott US products.
Which US car is better than its foreign rivals?
Although a lot of people dream of owning a F150, they aren’t the best vehicle of their class. Also, apart from Canadians very few are sold outside the US because they are impractical. Even in Australia, a land of wide open spaces, they aren’t practical. Ditch the Ford and GM products and buy the Japanese…
