Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against the Des Moines Register and its pollster, Ann Selzer, claiming election interference following the publication of a poll he believes is biased against him.



Donald Trump Sues Des Moines Register and Selzer, Alleging ‘Election Interference’

Don't mistake a dealmaker's bluster for a sword-fighter's jab.

That could well be a guiding principle for those trying to decipher the planned increases in import tariffs announced by US President-elect Donald Trump especially on China, Mexico, and Canada -- though his loud words extend to India.

You have to read not just the fine print but also separate the rhetoric from ground realities on an issue that is not as open-and-shut as it seems from headline statements.

It can certainly be said that Trump is trying to change the global trade game as the US struggles with a trade deficit mountain that harms its overall economic well-being (the federal budget deficit is a bigger problem). But global trade as well as American consumerism are joined at the hip. A good swing here could mean a bad swing there. Furthermore, Trump's bravado is not just about merchandise trade.

It involves positions and outcomes on illegal immigration, supply chain linkages between products compositely manufactured in various parts of the planet, and macroeconomic factors such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates. No one is going to suffer this disruption alone -- though indications are that the whole tariff game contains more gain than pain for India.

However, China's toolkit as well as its famous ability to show some shrewd gestures make it more complicated.

What we can expect is a slow-grinding set of adjustments after an initial round of fireworks that would indicate where the game is going.

We also need to do some trade calculations specific to industries. It is all up in the air. Trump, being a real estate tycoon more than a militarist nationalist, is likely to use power to cut better deals than take wounds on the economy he is steering.

I do think one factor that is not being discussed loudly but needs to be is the strange business of high technology that actually gives the US a pivotal economic strength.

My assessment is that industries such as computers, software, the Internet, and the emerging spectre of artificial intelligence cannot be subject to Trump's simplistic approach. Imagine Trump cracking down on the manufacturing industry of a country but instead facing retaliation that could hurt Google, Microsoft, Netflix, Facebook, or Amazon!

Republican Trump's Make America Great Again (MAGA) campaign may boomerang on the very giants of US dominance in global trade if he is not careful enough.

The President-elect has said he would sign an executive order imposing a 25 per cent tariff on all Mexican and Canadian imports and an extra 10 per cent on Chinese goods as soon as he takes over at the White House in January. But his swipes at Mexico and Canada are perhaps less about the US trade deficit and more about illegal immigration.

That is a classic apple-and-orange conflict in which Trump may want to extract security-linked gains in exchange for elbow room in trade. But there are also aspects linked to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which is where the Trump tariffs might hurt Mexico and Canada.

We just have to wait and watch as this is not subject to conventional trade dynamics. Leaders of both Mexico and Canada have already indicated a mood of reconciliation. It would be wiser to expect a deal than a war.

The general belief that US inflation rates may surge if cheap Chinese (or other) imports are restricted will certainly be a factor. Trump may not be in a hurry to spite US consumers even as he tries to keep his promise to strengthen the American economy. The US economy is doing pretty well in terms of jobs with the current unemployment rate well below the long-term average.

The tangle with China is more intriguing and interesting. The US had an overall trade deficit of $773 billion in 2023 of which China accounted for the lion's share of $279 billion. But then, China's foreign exchange reserves at $3.265 trillion are more than 10 times the deficit figure. In plain language, Beijing has deep pockets to fight a trade war if needed.

It is now warming up to a BRICS alliance of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa to dig its heels. China also has the option of strategically devaluing its currency -- long overdue after decades of strengthening its reserves with a state-controlled overvaluation.

From toys and furniture to nuclear reactors, China's dragon grip on US consumerism is strong. If America's consumers show withdrawal symptoms after decades of cheaper imports to aid profits and lifestyles, Trump may have to show some patience.

India is a potential gainer with a "China Plus One" strategy under which the US as an importer would systematically reduce the Chinese grip, but this would be a lot slower as India needs to build capacities and prove its capabilities on a large scale in which China is decidedly a leader of sorts.

Speaking earlier this week, Trump appeared to target India as well, though his words seemed rhetorical, as he talked of a "reciprocal" tit-for-tat tariff action.

"If they tax us, we tax them the same amount. They tax us. We tax them...Almost in all cases, they're taxing us, and we haven't been taxing them.”

Is that a warning shot? On paper, India stands to gain as a long-term alternative to China in industries such as textiles, pharmaceuticals and electronics, but some token action that hurts some Indian industries cannot be ruled out. On the other hand, if&nbsp;China withdraws some export rebates in solar panel components as part of a trade adjustment with the US, India could get caught in the middle with higher component costs. China is also a dominant supplier of laptops and smartphones worldwide, and they have both business and consumer value that makes targeted trade attacks difficult to enforce.

My guess is that Republican Trump will have his hands full in addressing some key domestic issues that target rival Democrats and an alleged "deep state" to please supporters and aides who include arch-conservatists on the loony fringe.

Whatever the details, it is going to be an uncertain 2025 for all. Whether Trump acts fast, slow or with gingerly strides, there is no denying that the US is an influential economic superpower. Few would be in the mood to do business as usual without looking over their shoulders as Trump weighs in with his tariff strategy.

Mystery Drone Sightings In USA: White House Releases Statement, Says 'No Reason For Alarm Found'

Palm beach, florida 
<meta content="uuid2h24cVNsmdO7" name="uuid"/>
Before taking office, US President-elect Donald Trump announced that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had not been invited to his inauguration ceremony. The statement, made during Trump’s first formal press conference after winning the election, surprised many and hinted at a major foreign policy shift.
While Trump’s team is reportedly working to ease tensions with Russia, maintaining communication with President Vladimir Putin’s office. In addition, Trump confirmed that he had extended an invitation to Chinese President Xi Jinping. However, Xi’s acceptance remains unclear at this stage.
<h2>Trump plans federal changes</h2>
Addressing the media in a sweeping 70-minute news conference, the president-elect outlined plans for a clear break from the Biden administration. Trump criticised the current state of federal governance and promised action to ensure efficiency.
“If federal workers don’t return to the office, they will be fired,” Trump declared firmly. He also revealed that he is “looking at” the possibility of privatising the United States Postal Service.
Trump appeared confident and relaxed, showcasing a greater sense of readiness compared to his transition eight years ago.

USA News: Trump Team Wants Iron Dome Against Drones

New Jersey, United States 

<meta charset="utf-8"/>
Podcast icon Joe Rogan has expressed his growing worry over the mysterious drone sightings in New Jersey and parts of the Empire State, following a disturbing new theory. The podcast host made these comments on Sunday, December 15, after watching a video that shared an unsettling and unverified claim about the drones.
<h2 dir="ltr">Drone theory raises alarm</h2>
The video, which quickly went viral, features John Ferguson, CEO of a remote aircraft system company in Kansas. He suggests the drones may be searching for something on the ground, like a gas leak or radioactive material. “The only reason you would fly an unmanned aircraft at night is if you’re looking for something,” Ferguson explained, adding that he doesn’t believe the drones are harmful.
Ferguson clarified that this theory is just his best guess based on his expertise and hasn’t been confirmed by others. He cautioned viewers not to jump to conclusions, saying, “If you think it’s nonsense, that’s fine. I don’t want to spread misinformation.”

Podcast icon Joe Rogan has expressed his growing worry over the mysterious drone sightings in New Jersey and parts of the Empire State, following a disturbing new theory.

Podcast icon Joe Rogan has expressed his growing worry over the mysterious drone sightings in New Jersey and parts of the Empire State, following a disturbing new theory. The podcast host made these comments on Sunday, December 15, after watching a video that shared an unsettling and unverified claim about the drones. Drone theory raises alarm The video, which quickly went viral, features John Ferguson, CEO of a remote aircraft system company in Kansas. He suggests the drones may be searching for something on the ground, like a gas leak or radioactive material. “The only reason you would fly an unmanned aircraft at night is if you’re looking for something,” Ferguson explained, adding that he doesn’t believe the drones are harmful. Ferguson clarified that this theory is just his best guess based on his expertise and hasn’t been confirmed by others. He cautioned viewers not to jump to conclusions, saying, “If you think it’s nonsense, that’s fine. I don’t want to spread misinformation.” Also Read: Trump slams Biden government over mystery drone sightings, says 'shoot them down' Rogan’s growing concern Rogan’s response to Ferguson’s theory was quick. The podcast host took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), saying, “This is the first video about these drones that has got me genuinely concerned.” His concern grew, particularly after earlier comments from government officials downplaying the situation.

Despite official dismissals, theories persist. Some experts suspect a foreign power may be involved, using the drones to distract from other activities. President-elect Donald Trump also suggested the government knows more and called for the drones to be shot down.

Jeff Bezos is expected to meet with the president-elect next week. For Bezos, the new administration will be necessary. This is for the&nbsp;space race against fellow billionaire Elon Musk.

Bezos was the object of Trump's criticisms though his first term had everything worked out as planned, Amazon's project Kuiper would have begun providing beta services to clients by now. 
 
Kuiper aims to compete with Musk's dominating Starlink satellite internet service. On the contrary, Kuiper is now behind schedule. 
 
Amazon is confronted with the possibility of a new White House administration beset by individuals with ties to Musk's SpaceX.

The first operational satellite launches from Kuiper have already been delayed twice in 2024. 
 
Rocket producer United Launch Alliance's latest delay was due to the necessity of prioritising two missions for the US Space Force. The schedule is uncertain. 
 
ULA — a joint venture of Boeing and Lockheed Martin — will not be able to complete those space force launches this year. This is because ULA is investigating a mishap on a flight in October.

In response to Trump's attacks on the Bezos-owned Washington Post during his first term in office, Amazon filed a lawsuit claiming that Trump had told the Pentagon to "screw Amazon" by excluding it from a bidding process. 
 
Bezos lately has adopted a more accommodating stance. The Amazon founder made an unusual appearance on X after Trump's election to offer his&nbsp;congratulations&nbsp;to the newly elected president. 
 
A representative for Amazon announced Thursday that the firm will be paying 1 million dollars to Trump's inaugural fund. 
 
This is in addition to efforts of meta platforms and other digital companies that are hoping to foster favourable relationships with the new government by contributing to the festivities.

Bezos prepares for new administration amid Kuiper delays

In what can be best described as a change of fortunes, United States&nbsp;President-elect Donald Trump’s election victory has made him the apple of the eyes of CEOs, executives and influential business leaders. The same executives who literally abandoned Trump following his 2020 loss against President Joe Biden are now lining up to shake his hands.

When Trump visited the New York Stock Exchange earlier this week, CEOs and top executives of Visa, Meta Platforms, Goldman Sachs, Charles Schwab and Citadel could be spotted standing in the crowd.

Their expectations from Trump are straight and reasonable: Getting the most out of the next commander-in-chief for their businesses by relying on personal relationships.

According to media reports, senior c-suite executives are today eager to have a sit-down with Trump at his private Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where his transition team mostly works. According to a business consultant close to Trump, he is advising executives to find common ground to work with the incoming president, including on topics such as tax and regulatory changes.

Zuckerberg, who was once threatened by Trump with a jail term, has donated $1 million to the incoming president’s inaugural fund, and Jeff Bezos’ Amazon has also reportedly planned a $1 million contribution.
