I asked Claude, one of the most powerful AI models, to analyse Trump's officially declared approach to setting his tariffs.

It was scathing!

It's worth taking the time to read the whole exchange, which goes into much greater detail as to why Trump's approach was so wrong.

I have more than 410k followers on X and fewer than 63k on BlueSky.

Yet the same tweet about Russian money supporting the Far Right in Britain has been shared fewer than 100 times on X and more than 1,300 on BlueSky.

That's how much of a propaganda tool X has become.

MAJOR BREAKING: Governor JB Pritzker just revealed that during COVID, Donald Trump told him he would only send life saving equipment if he agreed to praise him on the Sunday talk shows.

Is Donald Trump evil or just completely fucking deranged?

“Mr Trump. Just one more question. There’s something bothering me. You deny being a Russian asset. Name me one thing that you’d have done differently regarding Ukraine sir, if you HAD been a Russian asset.
Just one thing Mr Trump. Anything you’d have done differently? Mr Trump?”

The Telegraph’s been reproducing versions of this same story for years. Wokeness and a ‘recipe for a crisis’ in membership. But National Trust member retention is higher than comparator organisations despite the cost of living crisis, and visitor numbers have been increasing.
