Bringing my trusty salt spoon to the gunfight…

“Give me Versailles and I’ll think about helping.”

[Robin Smith @RobAlpujarra]

@DonDurrett I’m sorry Don, person who shares ideas about where to invest actual money - did you just say something about “potent astrology”? 😳

[Robin Smith @RobAlpujarra]

@dampedspring Oh yeah…

[Robin Smith @RobAlpujarra]

@Recklesstruth00 @RapidResponse47 @SecScottBessent @POTUS For that, Trump should be thanking him, and I dare say his background with Soros helped. Make no mistake though - everyone who gets into Trump’s orbit must know by now their reputation will end up in the sewer, one way or another.

[Robin Smith @RobAlpujarra]

@Recklesstruth00 @RapidResponse47 @SecScottBessent @POTUS It’s certainly true, Soros’s charitable foundations have been banned from the world’s loveliest regimes, I imagine for promoting democratic values.

Bessent, for all his awfulness, is probably responsible for stopping (or postponing) markets from collapsing.

[Robin Smith @RobAlpujarra]

@Recklesstruth00 @RapidResponse47 @SecScottBessent @POTUS At the risk of flogging a dead horse - what countries have banned George Soros from entry?

[Robin Smith @RobAlpujarra]

@Recklesstruth00 @RapidResponse47 @SecScottBessent @POTUS Or, whisper it… maybe George Soros isn’t really the stuff of right wing nightmares after all. They just invented a locus for stupid people to target their ire.

@runningnodes @LukeGromen @zumis002 You may well be right, but let’s not pretend Trump even wants to. He’s in his 2nd (presumably final) term, having avoided prison, and cares only about lining his, his family’s and associates’ pockets. Oh, and retribution.

[Robin Smith @RobAlpujarra]

@EconstratPB I watched “Before Sunrise” last night, from 1995, with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy wandering round Vienna. Seems it was a cliché for Americans back then too.

[Robin Smith @RobAlpujarra]

@LukeGromen @zumis002 I absolutely agree with your original post, and in large part the GFC is responsible for the rise of Trump et al across the world. But, surely, you can’t actually believe he gives a toss about regular Americans..?

[Robin Smith @RobAlpujarra]

@lord_fed Leaving aside neither Reform nor the Tories really want an election now, who would be your Chancellor in your fantasy Farage cabinet?

[Robin Smith @RobAlpujarra]

@TonyIsHere4You “Just as critical” but somehow managing to not destroy it on a whim, with foreseeable outcomes. I think there’s a difference.

[Robin Smith @RobAlpujarra]

@TonyIsHere4You Still, it’s the Trump era, so… hey-ho!

[Robin Smith @RobAlpujarra]

@TonyIsHere4You Hmm… I’d be fascinated to get into the head of the person - any person - who makes the decision to cut USAid entirely, knowing what will happen. That that person is a drug-addled internet troll with a sideline in being the richest person to ever live is truly amazing.

[Robin Smith @RobAlpujarra]

@ZiggyWumpus Yep. I was worried they’d try to keep it going until the end of Trump’s term, but I don’t think he (or any of them) give enough fucks to even attempt it.

[Robin Smith @RobAlpujarra]

@TheMichaelEvery Just *listen* to the man speak, for heaven’s sake. ‘Iran should have ballistic missiles because the other side does, so it’s only fair (!)
Economic statecraft? Please. At what point do you guys admit he doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing (to adapt his own words)?

[Robin Smith @RobAlpujarra]

@JavierBlas There’s so much to savour - “let them eat inflation” comes to mind too.

[Robin Smith @RobAlpujarra]

@This_Is_VP4X Who’s laddered your Trumpy tights specifically, VP? The man himself could hardly care less - he’s corrupted himself $billions, with no-one to stop him, and he would revel in another impeachment like a pig in shit.

[Robin Smith @RobAlpujarra]

@adamtaggart @MarioNawfal Sure Adam, just so long as we never have to hear you say “if I’m upsetting both sides, I must be doing something right”- type nonsense claims of lack of bias.

[Robin Smith @RobAlpujarra]

@qthomp The only reason there hasn’t been a deal yet is because anything negotiated is worse than Obama’s JCPOA. And that’s intolerable for Trump, because it makes him a *loser*.
Which, of course, he is.
