      It’s hard to imagine we’ll ever see a bigger idiot in charge of a country in our lifetime than Trump in America.

      I wonder if Irish people support this position by Ireland and the EU? They talk loudly but this would increase prices and cost jobs. Or are people calling on the government to be tough only to blame the government for any subsequent effects?

      I think what we are seeing with trump is just a mirror into how billionaires operate. The majority of these people are egocentric,narcissistic and will destroy the lives of ordinary people to get what they want.

      It’s just that people expect politicians to at least hide those tendencies. But you don’t get that power without causing huge amounts of pain to others along the way.

      After the crash our leaders overly focused our economy on attracting big US companies here and now we are going to pay dearly for it.

      Ireland is snooker in that the economy is built on US pharma and big tech. If EU has a trade war ireland caught in the middle. Like malcom.

      You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you let the rich dictate to the poor. When you let billionaires and financial institutions and the financial elites dictate what they want. Speculative capitalism 101. You think the US companies that set up here are here for the good of us? 40 years of neoliberalism is what has got us here. Trump is just an ugly symptom of a broken system.

      The Irish government is responsible for the well-being of the Irish people. They better keep that very much in the front of their minds. There will be no forgiveness for another devastating austerity.

      The angle on this that I find the most odd is that we have to try diplomacy. We have and it has failed absolutely miserably. The West has spent the last few months appeasing a mad man who manical intent on pursuing his own agenda. We let him ride rough shod with tarriffs. I see there is mention of jobs here in Ireland being at risk if we pull the trigger on the so called “trade bazooka”. That is completely irrelevant as markets lose their value with confidence in the dollar being eroded more and more. The only real way to do it might be to start dumping the treasury bonds which will make the dollar weak and trigger massive inflation in the US. The cost then of attacking anyone becomes prohibitvely expensive. Europe wont come out unscathed but the cost of living wont rise as fast. Europe should then invest in gold which is not prone all that much to falls in valuation.

      Diplomacy has failed.

      We made a trade agreement with Trump during the summer which now means nothing.

      We tried diplomacy. He only understands strength.

      There’s not really any choice tbh. We can’t give in every time he threatens tariffs. Europe has to respond.

      Naturally, twill involve services, US services is our bread and butter. The trade bazuka basically injures EU members, maims US companies and double kills the irish economy. When he says “job losses” he means back to the 1980s we go

      We are being put in a very very tough place. Our economic strategy was brilliant in a pre 2022 world, its about the worst possible set up to have in 2026

      The only sensible course of action really.

      Continue with diplomacy all the way up to and including the 11th hour, and if all fails, then at least we will have had time to consider and prepare the alternative. It would be stupid to immediately jump to the nuclear options while there are still possibilities.
