Trump is driving a wedge between the UK and EU. 

[Sephiroth]

which is why I call places and people calling it a Brexit Win Putin appeasers 

 

Why would Trump want to drive a wedge between UK and EU? Because he is mates with Putin and that's what Putin wants

I feel totally knocked off balance by all this stuff.

What it must be like to be living in America, I can't begin to imagine.

I have to wonder who's going to benefit from the Trump tarrifs 

Possibly those in tje know who dumped their shares before it happened, banked the cash,  bought shares at rock bottom  and are now waiting for stock that crashed to go up again and make a fortune.

But the bigger losers will be Americans who expect industry to move their factories to America, provide jobs and revive the economy, 20 years ago that could have happened but since then most factory jobs can now be done by robots  including warehouse movements, and if a tech company is going to build a new factory they will obviously use robotics and maybe AI to do the work, which means a gluten of goods and no one with the cash to buy them. 

America will go into another depression and take the rest of the world with it.

Forget the issues Liz Truss and Rachel Reeves combined have caused the economy, the trump tarrifs will make them look like saints by comparison.
