@restispoliticsus.bsky.social Ima question regarding the continuing lack of soundbites from the democrats. We always hear Trump saying eg the ‘loony left’. Why do we never hear the demos saying something about the ‘entitled right’ or something to this effect. Why can’t the dems change the narrative?

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social I have just read an extract from JD Vance speech in Greenland "We can't just ignore the President's desires" Assuming this is correct, could you clarify the power of the US Presidency on your Trip programme please. It seems astonishing that they have such power?

Will increasing anti-US sentiment begin to affect American commerce and will this serve to brake the absurdity of Trump’s so called plan which is effectively fawning over Russia (what does Putin have on him)?

My question is whether people will now actively seek to buy alternatives to US goods and services? I will now try to avoid American products as much as possible. Siding with Russia is contemptible. I am certain that US global influence will wane considerably over time…
