Trump's order on showerheads seems trivial but it's a subtle power grab
By Alan Kohler
It seems only a matter of time before Donald Trump uses a crisis and the National Emergencies Act to bring about a revolution in the United States.
Another guardrail against Trump autocracy lost. Will he get away with it?

“The great American (#USA) cultural and economic #hegemony that has lasted for more than 80 years is coming to an end.
America's global economic #leadership was formalised in 1944, when 730 delegates from 44 allied nations met at the Mount Washington Hotel, in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, and agreed to base the global trading system on the #USDollar, which would in turn be pegged to #gold.” — Alan Kohler
An simple example. Yesterday sitting down catching up and talking to my neighbour, electric cars come up and the US variety was booed (guess which one) , the CH version lauded (BYD). The world is routing around the USA economically, right now.

If you’re feeling a bit gloomy #AlanKohler has a refreshing and upbeat perspective on the new world order.

As America has a break with reality, the world will move on to a new order

The Australian government after May 3 will no doubt want to try to negotiate with the Trump administration about our 10 per cent tariff, but they might be better off to just work around it and move on.

#Australian #financial #journalist #AlanKohler of @ABC has been the only commentator I've heard today who hasn't tried to #sanewash the #BatShitCrazy effluent coming out of the mouth of the world's most dangerous man.
Kohler doesn't hold back. He describes #Trump as a man with "zero expertise" who "doesn't know what he's doing". He describes the way that the #tarriffs were calculated as "bonkers".
When they come to throw you into the #gulag Alan I'll proudly share a cell with you.
