Jonathan Ross’s video of his shooting of Renee Good also demonstrates that he was too busy filming with his phone to properly assess the situation.

“The rules of global trade in the Trump era are just as hazy now as they were in early April, when the White House suggested ‘90 deals in 90 days’ that would ease the uncertainty.” www.axios.com/2025/07/07/t...
“The problem for Trump is that just ‘okay’ is not good enough for American voters, who were deeply unhappy with the state of the economy last year and are actually unhappier with it today.” www.theatlantic.com/economy/arch...
Dozens of children are dead. But at least Americans have fewer pointy-headed liberal government bureaucrats telling them what to do. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...
“To some extent, Trump’s approach is typical of American leaders, who have routinely underestimated the true complexities of military tasks and assumed that a burst of overwhelming force will secure U.S. objectives and allow Washington to impose its version of peace.”
While Trump’s supercharged ICE is carrying out a mass deportation program most voters reject, “Mr. Trump’s politicization of the F.B.I. has left it less able to combat terrorism, foreign espionage, biosecurity threats, organized crime, online scams, white-collar crime, drug trafficking and more.”
