Donald Trump’s cabinet meetings are being compared to North Korea as his tattoo claims have become a meme.
Tariff war
It comes as the Bank of England will announce a series of back-to-back interest rate cuts as Donald Trump’s tariff war threatens to hammer growth in Britain’s economy, a major Wall Street bank has said.
Morgan Stanley predicted policymakers will announce an interest rate cut next week from 4.5pc to 4.25pc “in anticipation of a possible large-scale global growth hit”.
Also,US manufacturers suffered their largest drop in exports since the pandemic, a closely watched survey shows, as Donald Trump’s tariff tirade backfired.
American factories reported the biggest fall in new export orders since April 2020, according to the ISM Manufacturing PMI, which measures output in the sector.
North Korea
James Surowiecki wrote: “There are many cringey things about Trump’s 2nd term. But nothing is as cringey as watching these Cabinet meetings where Trump’s appointees kowtow to him and slather him with praise like they’re courtiers to a king. It’s repulsively un-American.”
Republicans against Trump wrote: “This isn’t an SNL skit. At a cabinet meeting today, Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed that Donald Trump saved 258 million lives—75% of the U.S. population—in his first 100 days by seizing fentanyl.”
Another wrote: “Shortly after this photo, the cult moved to Guyana and began construction of TrumpTown.”
Tattoo
Donald Trump showed what appeared to be a digitally altered image of an alleged gang member he deported with an MS-13 tattoo. Now, he has become a meme.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia was wrongly deported to a Salvadoran prison by the US government, who claimed without evidence that he was a “gang member”.
The president even argued with an ABC News reporter about the photoshop claims.
