If this goes through, U.S. taxpayers will be on the hook for Trump's #protectionist #racket.

Trump wants to use government personnel and taxpayer funds to indemnify and escort tankers, vehicles, or products (especially energy-related) threatened by a war he's participating in and orchestrating.

And water...just a bad idea..another one of the MANY by #DanielleSmith and #UCP who ARE NOT a #FISCALLY #RESPONSIBLE CONSERVATIVE PARTY. They are a #separatist, #Maverick #O&G #protectionist, #underskilled, #undereducated #far-right party! #Olds #datacenters #recall #UCPFAILURE

“ #Globalization is “over” when #Eurasia says it is, NOT when the #USA has a #protectionist #tempertantrum.”

This is exactly the kind of #Corporate Interest #Protectionist #Republicans LOVE and want to regulate all the money into THEIR POCKETS. Its a shakedown, protecting a monopoly. You cant sell this, till youre invested in the club where we collectively set the price.

The #IMF forecasts global #EconomicGrowth will slow to 3.2 per cent in 2025, down from 3.3 per cent last year.

It's projected to fall even further to 3.1 per cent in 2026, as the full impact of #protectionist measures being adopted in the #U.S. and elsewhere take hold.

Why everyone is talking about food inflation Their predictive power on year-ahead core price pressures is worrying central bankers

www.ft.com/content/de31...

One factor behind #food #inflation is #crop #losses due to #flood #drought #heatwave because of #climatechange

Another is #war

Then #protectionist policies such as #tariffs and anti-#immigration

#justice #humanrights

Although this change is said to be #protectionist, it “risks isolating U.S. consumers from global markets and making cross-border commerce more difficult.” (17/?)

Protesting genocide is not antisemitism.

Threatening harm in exchange for financial concessions to stop harming (as happened with Columbia University) is a protectionist racket and it's illegal.

Three moves #Starmer could make to accommodate the reality of a bonkers #protectionist numbskull in the White House:

1. Rejoin the CU and SM
2. Rejoin the SM and CU
3. Rejoin *either* the SM *or* CU, and then rejoin the other one.

US CEOs Need to Find Their Missing Backbones Corporate America needs to push Trump in more business-friendly directions before he does lasting damage to the US economy.
