@BillAckman @realDonaldTrump You clearly haven’t a clue. Firstly, I doubt that 100% of Americans are behind your useless president. He was elected by a tiny margin. Secondly, if America has been taken advantage of for so long, how come it’s one of the richest, most powerful countries in the world?

The country is 100% behind the president on fixing a global system of tariffs that has disadvantaged the country. But, business is a confidence game and confidence depends on trust. President @realDonaldTrump has elevated the tariff issue to the most important geopolitical issue in the world, and he has gotten everyone’s attention. So far, so good. And yes, other nations have taken advantage of the U.S. by protecting their home industries at the expense of millions of our jobs and economic growth in our country. But, by placing massive and disproportionate tariffs on our friends and our enemies alike and thereby launching a global economic war against the whole world at once, we are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business, and as a market to invest capital. The president has an opportunity to call a 90-day time out, negotiate and resolve unfair asymmetric tariff deals, and induce trillions of dollars of new investment in our country. If, on the other hand, on April 9th we launch economic nuclear war on every country in the world, business investment will grind to a halt, consumers will close their wallets and pocket books, and we will severely damage our reputation with the rest of the world that will take years and potentially decades to rehabilitate. What CEO and what board of directors will be comfortable making large, long-term, economic commitments in our country in the middle of an economic nuclear war? I don’t know of one who will do so. When markets crash, new investment stops, consumers stop spending money, and businesses have no choice but to curtail investment and fire workers. And it is not just the big companies that will suffer. Small and medium size businesses and entrepreneurs will experience much greater pain. Almost no business can pass through an overnight massive increase in costs to their customers. And that’s true even if they have no debt, and, unfortunately, there is a massive amount of leverage in the system. Business is a confidence game. The president is losing the confidence of business leaders around the globe. The consequences for our country and the millions of our citizens who have supported the president — in particular low-income consumers who are already under a huge amount of economic stress — are going to be severely negative. This is not what we voted for. The President has an opportunity on Monday to call a time out and have the time to execute on fixing an unfair tariff system. Alternatively, we are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter, and we should start hunkering down. May cooler heads prevail.

@BearyAmerican @BillAckman @realDonaldTrump This is all just nonsense. This so-called unfair system has made America one of the richest countries in the world. And the idiotic Trump is now seeking to destroy that.

@BillAckman @realDonaldTrump The fix is easy, other countries can remove their unfair tariffs.

@Whitmanvideos @ZelenskyyUa It’s Trump and Vance who should apologise.

@ZelenskyyUa My man it’s going to take a lot more than this to fix what was just broken. Get on tv and just say sorry and you made a mistake because if America stops supporting you Europe won’t be enough to save Ukraine and I know that’s your goal in all this

We are very grateful to the United States for all the support. I’m thankful to President Trump, Congress for their bipartisan support, and American people. Ukrainians have always appreciated this support, especially during these three years of full-scale invasion.

@Number10cat @Acyn @brianglenntv No idea who Brian Glenn is but what an idiotic question.

@Acyn Here is a picture of Sir Winston Churchill visiting the White House during the Second World War. I wonder if @brianglenntv would have dared to criticise him?

Brian Glenn: Why don’t you wear a suit?!? Do you own a suit?

@NaturalOJ @Acyn Quite disgraceful. The orange-faced narcissist and his sidekick aren’t fit to govern your country.

@Acyn Today was a roast of Zelenskyy lmao. They flew him out to roast him national television. Love it

@nicksortor Quite disgraceful conduct by the orange-faced moron and his sidekick, both Putin’s puppets.

The Ukrainian ambassador covered her face when Zelensky CONTINUOUSLY tried speaking over Trump and Vance in the Oval Office She knows it’s ALL over. Great job, Dictator Zelensky

@AngryOlderDude @BillKristol It’s clear it was a set-up from the start, planted reporter criticising Zelensky’s attire then Vance weighs in then the orange-faced moron launches his attack. They’re clearly Putin’s puppets.

@BillKristol It’s nice to know somebody could just walk into your house, talk down to you, shit all over the place, and you’d say nothing Bill!

Two people disrespected the United States in the Oval Office today: President Trump and Vice President Vance. One person spoke in the best of American tradition: President Zelensky.

@rawfunds1979 @trussliz @JDVance That criminal?

@trussliz @JDVance Are you going to be one who stands up for Tommy Robinson? Are you going to question his treatment in Prison??? I will Judge your character based on that.

President Trump and @JDVance are right about the threat to free speech in Britain and Europe. That's why we are setting up a new free speech media network to take on the censors and the supine legacy media. More news soon.... x.com/charliekirk11/… x.com/charliekirk11/…

@SwanMom312 @JimFergusonUK Most people in U.K. are horrified that Trump has been elected. We pity the USA.

@JimFergusonUK Beautifully written & brought tears to my eyes ❤️ God Bless you & the beautiful people of Great Britain 🙏🏼🇬🇧

🇬🇧 A British Tribute to My American Friends 🇺🇸 Today, the winds of history change course. President Trump returns, not as a distant hope, but as the 47th President of the United States—a symbol of resilience, strength, and the enduring will of the American people. As a proud Brit, I’ve walked among your cities, met your patriots, and felt the unbreakable spirit that unites you. In your flags flying high, in your voices rising for freedom, I’ve seen a nation determined to reclaim its greatness. This day is more than an inauguration—it’s a rallying cry for liberty, a bold step into a future defined by courage and unity. Let us remember: the fight for freedom is universal, and your triumph today is a light for the world. Together, we stand as brothers and sisters, bonded by our shared hope for a brighter tomorrow. Congratulations, America. The best days are ahead, and the world is watching.

@AmyChristine987 @JimFergusonUK He certainly doesn’t speak for the majority of Brits. Trump’s speech today was nauseating. What a contrast to JFK! The sooner Trump is gone the better.

@JimFergusonUK Very moving words. I'm proud of what we accomplished, but there is still much to be done. I pray that this fire that has been lit catches across all of Europe.

@FrankLuntz @NadineDorries He’s certainly not popular here in the U.K.

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. He appears to be on of the most popular people in the rotunda this morning. #Inauguration

@yvemac49 @NadineDorries Like very bad toothache.

@NadineDorries He is missed

Great to see Boris Johnson representing U.K. today at the Inaugeration. Trump genuinely listens to and likes Boris. Boris may not be our PM anymore but he will always speak up for our country. He will also continue to make the case for Ukraine.

@sal_fois @Number10cat I’m surprised it’s only 71%.

@Number10cat 71% of which people?

A few days ago I got lots of angry replies for sharing data that showed the owner of this site was increasingly unpopular with people in the UK. I'm expecting more anger because he's even less popular now - 71% of people have an unfavourable opinion of him yougov.co.uk/politics/artic…

@afneil And just the other day, the numbers would’ve been reversed.

Britain has less than a week of gas supplies in storage, as temperatures plunge. Gas is currently generating 55% of our electricity, wind 9%. And we’re having to import 14% of our electricity needs from six other European countries.

@gingergenx @elonmusk That’s complete bollocks.

Who provides funding to Starmer and the Labour Party? Apparently, for example, I was reading that some hedge fund gave them £5M from a dodgy island in the Caribbean.

@LaoCaiLarry1 @LizWebsterSBF You’re wrong, @PrivateEyeNews has been instrumental in exposing the Post Office scandal. Along with many other scandals. Ian Hislop deserves a knighthood.

Brilliant 👏 take down of musk by Ian Hislop.

@JasonReidUK But his strikes certainly won’t be missed.

As Mick Lynch retires as general secretary of RMT, let’s remind ourselves of how expertly he handled leading questions and trash media. His calm and effortless takedowns will be missed.

@NeilDotObrien @FergusCraig You’ve omitted the USA. I heard on the radio that that’s where the impact has come from.

@FergusCraig Yes that's around the time Labour took office and strangely the gap has got much bigger, particularly since the disastrous Budget, guess we may never get to the bottom of what's going on here

Reeves claims the increase in govt borrowing costs is just a global issue - so how come Britain's costs have gone up so much more?

@RosebudLam @RevDaniel @revpaulwhite For goodness sake, I think it’s you who’s the numpty here! The OP was clearly being facetious.

@RevDaniel @revpaulwhite 🙄 numpty.

Hilary Mantel didn't do her research for Wolf Hall very well. I literally only read half a page on Wikipedia about Oliver Cromwell and I could tell she got everything wrong! Overrated.

@ClaudiaWebbe Difficult to believe that a one-off payment of £200/£300 makes all that much difference.

2.5 million UK pensioners are freezing without a winter fuel allowance. How can the Labour Party be OK with this? It’s very cold. Does anyone in government care?
