I agree with that completely, but Trump has done nothing 'for the greater good'.
I’d suggest taking out Iran’s nuclear facilities probably did all of us a favour. He also got the rest of NATO upping defence spending, which they should have been doing years ago. A lot of Venezuelans seem to quite like him as well. Some of the millions who fled might feel they’re safe to go home now.
His tariffs have made it expensive to do business with america, so all countries are scrambling to trade with (almost) anyone else - result: US retail prices go up and availability goes down.
Reciprocal tariffs means no one wants to buy anything from the US
Countries were imposing tariffs long before Trump came along. It was hard for the US or anyone else to sell into China or Japan for years. The EU haven’t exactly been easy for the US to trade with either.
If you live in the UK and have grown up with access to the NHS, it's very difficult to understand how good you have it compared to someone with no public healthcare.
If you don’t live in the UK it’s very difficult to understand how damn awful the NHS has become over the last few years. 13 months for me to be seen for suspected skin cancer, 12 months to get a hernia repaired (caused by bodged surgery a few years earlier), an operation that I felt due to the anaesthetist not doing his job properly; my mum refused a referral by her GP for over a year, and when she was finally seen was told she had terminal cancer.
I Needed knee surgery and couldn’t get seen for over a year, so paid for a private consultation with a surgeon who got me onto the NHS waiting list.
My wife has been struggling to walk for nearly two years and when she finally got seen on the NHS was told there was nothing wrong and to just keep taking paracetamol. I paid for a consultation, the surgeon looked at the same x ray and told her the joint is wrecked and needs replacing.
A GP who wouldn’t even examine my breathless mother in law as it was his home time, 24 hours later she was in hospital with heart problems. Just what I’ve seen and experienced in my own family. Multiply that by several million.
Tell me again how good we’ve got it. PS this isn’t a free service.
Trumps wealth is estimated to have increased 3bn last year (1 year) - wait until he is out of office and the deals his done start to kick in.
Source? (if it’s from the same outlets that say the NHS is the envy of the world, I’d take it with a pinch of salt)
