He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving.
He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."

Goldman Sachs Research estimates that additional spending on defense will have a fiscal multiplier of 0.5 over two years.
That means every €100 spent on defense would boost GDP by around €50.

Trump will likely use use trade negotiations and tariff threats as leverage for broader policy objectives but I believe his tariff threats might be primarily a negotiating tactic that can be resolved through deals.

The British electorate is as fragmented as ever. This is a huge challenge for Labour. If they can’t find a way to tackle this, it will cost them a majority at the next election. The biggest source of opportunity remains foreign, hence the aim of a major reset in UK/EU trading relations. #uk
