Now I understand why they call him ‘The Boss’

From the NYT Poll Tracker (22 April 2025), Trump clearly in negative territory in recent polls. Still incredible that his approval ratings are in the 40s!

Purely defensive Patriot missile systems that save the lives of innocent Ukrainian people - Trump won't even sell them to Ukraine (let alone provide them in an assistance package). Wonder why? open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

How in the fuck do we live in a world where so many Americans care deeply about the Constitutional amendments which promise them the right to bear arms but not at all about the Constitutional amendments which promise them the right to due process under the law? #NewsCorpse

Poll shows Australians hate Trump policies and have lost trust in US, but still strongly believe in alliance theconversation.com/poll-shows-a...

Yep. Trump is political poison in Australia - now for both major parties. General election less than 3 weeks away. wapo.st/4jDx4u1

Oh MAGA, bless yer hearts.

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism" "That theory has been debunked" "One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

Phew…Trump style not going to work in Australian elections in early May.

This is worth watching #auspol. Gives an insight into the gradual failure of our health system due to Howard and the promotion of private health insurance. Private health insurance is a scam that aims to privatise health care completely. #ausvotes2025 It's all part of the squeeze out.

Good to think optimistically about a future beyond Trump. Grateful that Robert Reich has started doing these weekly lists: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

So, today's tariff backdown by Trump changes nothing in Australia. We still have a 10% Trump tariff despite the US having a trade surplus with us! Trump's trade representative Jamieson Greer said, "The US ... should be running up the score in Australia". Really? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

View from Australia: "Most governments, including Australia's, are trying to decide whether to, and how to, bargain with Trump to get their tariff removed, but perhaps they shouldn't bother." www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

View of the Signal debacle from Australia: "Australia and America's other Five Eyes intelligence partners — Canada, the UK and New Zealand — were already being forced to wrestle with questions about how much they could continue to trust their long-time ally." www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

Tesla new car sales are down significantly in Australia, and now those who already bought one are selling. Australians are rejecting Musk too.

Wow! Have to support this if it will help bring a lasting peace to Ukraine.

Seems pretty obvious to everyone except Trump.
