Without the EU, the joke is on us if Trump gets his tariffs | William Keegan

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

83% : For Trump, "tariffs" is "a beautiful word", more beautiful than "love".
50% : Last time Trump arrived in office, he was relatively unprepared.
45% : However, it appears that a number of US citizens have swiftly woken up to the inflationary implications of tariffs, with some voters who have found they have been taken for a ride asking on social media whether it is possible to change their vote ...I have read quite enough post-presidential election analysis, but, for me at least, the most convincing conclusion is not that Trump won but that the Democrats lost.
43% : The fact is that the election of Trump and his obsession with embarking on trade wars is bad news for the world economy, which, oddly enough, we are an important part of.
28% : Experts know that Trump would insist on terms that would be formidably disadvantageous to the UK.
22% : The terrible thing is that Trump is having the last laugh, and the rest of us can't help being apprehensive.
