if you wanna talk about his impact on the US it’s been done to death - jobs market, increasing inflation, increasing national debt, reduced growth etc etc.
ask the 40+ blue chip companies who have reduced their profit guidance because of tariffs.
In that case, Trump has NOT been a disaster for the world (or it's economy). Businesses are still trading, people are still working.
What has changed is predicted performance/growth/profits and they are not actual events, they're...predictions...guesses...hopes.
Expectations people had before Trump simply need to be realigned with the new relationships he's decided on for how his own country's economy operates.
And that is Expectation Management, and someone's expectations are nothing to do with Trump.

If trump wants to rearrange the US economy and the conditions that rest of the world's nations need to meet in order to trade with them, that's entirely up to him and those who voted him in.
It's perfectly "fair" as nations don't have a right - divine or otherwise - to trade with/in other nations (or, indeed tell them what to do or how to behave).
Doing so is a business risk choice and a good business owner will already have contingency ("what-if?") plans prepared for such changes.

Can anyone highlight how Trump has been 'disastrous' for the world. What exactly has he made worse than what it already was?

For fuck's sake.He's by far the best option. A bit like Trump was for the USA. Not a particularly nice bloke, but will make the difficult decisions this country needs that the other 2 parties refuse to make.
Trump is very hit and miss for US,but an absolute disaster for the world

Fucking hell, give it a rest with the hard man patter you ginger deviant cսnt.
Seeing as I'm currently somewhere between the Philippines and China, and not due to return to the UK until late January/early February next year you'll have to wait a little until you're given the opportunity to 'stick me in a wheelchair'. Nevermind, as all good things come to those who wait.
Not too sure we'll have a game whilst I'm back in the UK, but have fuck-all problem meeting you at a boozer of your choice.
I'll WHOmail you when back home. Give you as much notice as I can.
Honestly, REALLY can't wait to meet you Joyo.

You said it may be disastrous but that you’d prefer it
I pointed out it would almost certainly be disastrous with his Liz Truss style economics
Farage is typical of modern politics & life where the hard of thinking treat running the country as like voting for who should win Love Island
Have said before the standard of politicians is abysmal
If Starmer, Badenoch or Farage joined your company would you see them as anything but a minor middle manager? Maybe trust them to be in charge of ordering paper clips
I know you're desperate not to admit it, but this country has a huge problem with illegal immigration.
Who do you think is the best leader to try to fix that out of the 3 major parties that are likely to get voted in next general election?

good luck with solving that equation.
The last time we had any proper growth was in the recovery from the 2008 crash.
Since 2010 at has been wall to wall austerity in some shape or form.
Not surprising that people are pissed off.

Exactly. That's why I feel that Farage should leave Labour holding the baby at the next election. The underlying, but fully understood message should be "We can, we will, but not yet."

Sven.
Where did i say Farage would be a good thing.
The decisions made over recent years have led us to where we are now. If you think we are currently in good shape then you must know a hell of a lot more than the rest of us.

Disastrous?
You mean the £90bn of tax cuts & £50bn of additional spending?
Quite endearing the way some people think that Farage would improve their lives
Just like Brexit has

By the time of the next election, we will have had (Brexit aside) 20 years of shitshow politicians making shitshow decisions. Other than the very young, I can't think why anyone would vote for Labour or the Tories again. The Greens are a freak show and the Lib Dems are not to be trusted.
I said before on here that Farage/reform may well end up disastrous but things surely can't get any worse than what we have seen in recent history.

The fact that his perceived (by you) IQ still eclipses yours is no reason to boast.
Still, good to see that you're worried about the publics perception of the 'right wing'.
As an aside, was it the right wing the Cambodian raspberry was missing when you abused her, or her legs?Typical response from a mentality ill conspiracy theorist loon who believes in unrealistic paranoia bullshit and rather than face facts will counter with more outrageous conspiracy theorists lies
im not in the least worried about right wing l just detest extremists like you and I'll incude the jihadists and loony left woke scum as just as mentalYou're a self-confessed cripple fucker (rapist), yet I'm mentally ill?
I'm reasonably certain you've been asked previously as to whether you were boasting about your exploits in SE Asia, or just lying.
Have seen no response from you.
Care to answer?
Seek help son, as it's obvious to most on here that you're a deviant cսnt.
Easy answer it didn't happen and l very much doubt anyone believes it so how could l possibly boast about it???
