Trump criticises Ireland during Irish PM's visit to White House

Donald Trump has criticised Ireland for using its tax policies to lure away US companies.

Speaking in the White House next to the Irish premier, Micheál Martin, he took aim at Ireland’s use of its tax system to attract pharmaceutical and other companies.

He claimed that Ireland is among the countries taking advantage of the US.

He also doubled down on his vow to impose reciprocal tariffs to help rebuild US manufacturing.

Trump on said his tariffs plan will restore fairness to US trade, even as major partners announced countermeasures to new US tariffs on steel and aluminium.

“We’ve been abused for a long time and we will be abused no longer,” he said.

He added that he would even out his country’s “massive deficit”.

Trump spoke with reporters at the start of a meeting with the Irish prime minister in the Oval Office.

You know what they say about engaging with Trolls ?

Just let him wank on with whatever briefing he got 5mins before the meeting, & then let the adults deal with it afterward.

In this case maybe ask the reporters where Donnie will get his ED prescription filled, & Melania her Botox if they raise tariffs against Irish pharmaceuticals ?

Or maybe ask where his great new replacement for Obamacare is ?, because that's what's going to have to be funded to pay for increased pharma costs for all Americans.

Have any of you listened to what Trump said

He PRAISED the Irish. And criticised US leaders for letting it happen

Listen to Trump? I'd rather poke out my eyes with red hot pokers, or read Muttonbird's posts to translate his garbage for me.

I tried, but Fox (as you say) just lie, bullshit and make shit up. It's unwatchable.

So, what's your view on this.

I'm a free speech man. Without it the West is finished with no hope of recovery. Lies will become truth. Truth will be outlawed and evil will take over. And most will cheer. But will live on pills to try and take away the pain

Great explanation of court decision telling the various agencies to rehire all staff fired on OPM instructions, with specific notice to OPM not to try the same shit again.

I was following some of this on line - a reporter was posting some of the court discussion, and it was just crazy! The Judge quite rightly was hopping mad and the DOJ were just pathetically prepared and shitting themselves. It will be interesting to see if the Court Order is implemented within the timescales and if not what happens next.

The US is lost!

With it being produced outside of France, I think they have to call it sparkling white racism.

The judge had to remind herself not to let her anger take over. Remarkable indeed.

I would bet a terrible wig that Trump has a winery making sparkling wine somewhere in the US.

You've not read the detail of the case have you, in particular the legal argument behind the Judges decision? The DOJ got eviscerated for its preparation for the case, trying to change its submission when challenged and for the substance of what it was trying to defend. On a purely legal basis there is no chance it will be overturned ... however in Trumpland we now know the rule of law means feck all unfortunately.

That's the thing, with the criminals in place among the Supremes all bets are off. And there's lord knows how many loons appointed as judges more generally through the system.

It will be and should be overturned

If low level district court judges want to make decisions like this run for office.

That's not how it works. He has a case presented to him and he makes a judgement as he MUST do. The parties can appeal it up the line if they want.

[Niegs]

I know some Conservatives that now see Poilievre is a negative nerd who's got nothing going for him now that Trudeau's gone.

I think he fucked it in going totally on that route when the history of our elections should have told him that people were already tired of him and he could have pulled in even more people by positively going "I'm going to be middle of the road and here are some things we'll do to ease the cost of living because the pandemic screwed a lot of things for a lot of you."

Instead, this is his playbook...

Missouri, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, all red states who voted for Trump and now they get limited warnings because the weather service is being cut and they’ll get no help from FEMA because it’s gone.

DOGE told OPM to issue a template letter/email using poor performance as the reason why they were summarily sacking employees in order to avoid due process and costs of sacking folk. Letters were sent out to 1,000s of folk who had exemplary performance and service records and this was all recorded on their files. Turns out Judge has seen through the smoke and mirrors, saw it for exactly what it was and deemed it illegal and order immediate re employment and a cease on all similar cases in a number of other depts. The DOJ presented a shite defence and almost ran away when challenged. This could cost the US Gov a lot more $$$ than any savings they might have made. Musk and his bunch of useless, inexperienced laptop warriors getting their arses handed to them!
