Donald Trump’s meeting with Xi Jinping resulted in most of what he wanted—but the agreement does little more than extricate Trump from a crisis of his own making. Michael Schuman on the pattern in Trump’s dealings with China raising long-term concerns:
The Real Worry About Trump’s Deals With China
Today he’s resolved little more than a crisis of his own making. What might he trade away later for such negligible gains?

Calling for a British born Muslim MP Zarah Sultana to be deported and now calling for disabled people to drive unsafe tricycles to mark them out as disabled- are there no lows this piece of shit won’t stoop to but he’s right on brand for the Nazigraph
This from X is a striking example of what I argue in today’s column. Reform and the Tories are out here gleefully saying disabled people on Motability should be forced to drive a 3-wheeler, like a scarlet letter. The stigma is not an accident - it’s the design.
