Chinese "exports have risen by 6% overall, owing to increased shipments to Europe and South-East Asia. China's currency, meanwhile, is stronger now against the dollar than it was before April 2nd."

This administration is too dumb to even know how to conduct a trade war.

Twitter used to be good for news, and the same is now true for BSky. Plenty of lists that supply me with news on Ukraine, science, technology and other topics that I am interested in.

My engagement there has not declined nor do I perceive a slowdown in posts.

USAID was dismantled overnight, without any opportunity for other aid organisations to step up. This is why it amounts to the deliberate murder of thousands of the world's poorest.

I also suspect that much of USAID wasn't for humanitarian purposes as much as it was for buying influence abroad,

All major nations do this. It's called soft power. And the US pissed it all away.

"I mean just like Trump, media coverage on Putin is biased"

Yes, it's insane how maibstream outlets such as the NYT are normalizing Trump. The guy has his own crypto meme coin for crying out loud. The corruption is so open and brazen it's laughable, but the MSM is still obsessing over Biden's age, while Donnie boy re-truths that Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced with a clone.

What an eff'ing joke America turned into.

Who wouldn't want to pay a subscription for 24/7 surveillance with all your personal data in some corporate cloud storage? /s

All this could have been avoided by buying Trump coins for a couple million $.

... for social media and crypto.

Looking back at the optimism of the early days of the web this is a profoundly saddening outcome.

What part of "unparalleled" do you not understand?

Land of the free where no one is above the law.

How far America has fallen.

He's a transactional bully who understands the stick but not the carrot

With the exception of Putin where it's exactly the opposite.
With Putin it's always only carrots and reach arounds but never the stick.

Now every company needs to come to Donnie boy bagging for exemptions and he can name his price.

When I left the US I rolled my 401K over into a self-directed IRA and put most of my money into gold. It developed quite nicely.

And nothing Donnie's government has done will help with that.

Nothing to see here folks!

It's always forward bullshitting with this guy.
