In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz.
The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

Portugal is taking online disinformation and fake news seriously. As part of a broader attempt to encourage media literacy, it’s offering 15-18 year olds a free digital subscription to a range of respected newspapers and magazines as well as online upstarts that don’t spread lies. (Monocle)

The suffering that will be unleashed on Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos is horrific. And that's not because they have "raped" America. It's because they're poor, they can't afford many US goods but they can become wealthier by exporting to rich countries.

This is a catastrophic set of policy decisions for the global economy. That’s what matters here.
But: Trump used to be able to put on a show. This is the biggest thing he’s done so far this presidency, and it was a disjointed, rambling mess with a cardboard prop.

Linda Yaccarino from X addressed the most senior people in the UK advertising industry last night.
One person described her talk to me as “brazen lies”, another said “it was like something from Black Mirror”.
It went down very badly away from the Fatherland.
