It’s now 10 years since #BarackObama said that #Britain would be “at the back of the queue” for a trade deal with the #USA if we chose #Brexit
Maybe that’s what sold us the idea of Brexit, as we sure love queueing.
How’s that deal working out for us?

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The article examines how several well‑known companies have reinvented themselves by moving into entirely new industries: Allbirds sold its shoe business for $39 m and turned the remaining listed shell into NewBird AI; Nokia, founded as a paper mill in 1865, gradually shifted from rubber and cables to mobile phones and now thrives as a telecom‑network and AI‑infrastructure provider with nearly €2 bn of operating profit; Nintendo, originally an 1889 hanafuda‑card maker, only entered electronics in the 1960s and has become a global video‑game leader; American Express began in 1850 as a freight‑shipping and cash‑in‑transit firm before evolving into a major financial‑services brand. The piece highlights that such dramatic pivots are increasingly common in tech, citing YouTube, Slack and Twitter as examples of companies that changed direction early on to achieve lasting success.

Agi: L'ira di Trump contro il Wall Street Journal: "Non sono un babbeo"

AGI - Donald Trump non ha gradito un editoriale del Wall Street Journal che lo dipinge come "babbeo" gabbato dagli iraniani. In un post su Truth, il presidente americano ha definito "un idiota" l'autore dell'articolo, Elliot Kaufman, e attaccato direttamente l’editore Rupert Murdoch.
La rabbia di Trump: "l'Iran è un Paese in macerie"
Il Wsj "ha appena scritto un editoriale intitolato: ‘Gli iraniani considerano Trump un fesso’. Davvero? Per 47 anni hanno ucciso i nostri cittadini, e molti altri, e hanno approfittato di ogni Presidente, tranne me, e che cosa gli ho dato io? Un Paese in macerie!", ha scritto.
"La marina iraniana è in fondo al mare"
"La loro intera Marina è sul fondo del mare, la loro Aeronautica non esiste più, le loro difese antiaeree e i loro radar sono stati spazzati via, i loro laboratori nucleari e le aree di stoccaggio sono stati annientati in una buia sera di giugno dai nostri grandi bombardieri B‑2; i loro leader sono morti, incluso il generale Soleimani, il loro genio del male che ha distrutto la vita di tanti con le sue bombe artigianali piazzate ai bordi delle strade; lo Stretto di Hormuz è bloccato e totalmente controllato dagli Stati Uniti, senza che alcuna nave possa dirigersi verso i porti iraniani — si dice che stiano perdendo 500 milioni di dollari al giorno per questo", ha elencato.
Trump critica Obama
Trump ha poi preso di mira il suo predecessore Barack Obama che avrebbe "dato loro 1,7 miliardi di dollari in contanti", mentre "altri presidenti non hanno fatto nulla per fermarli". Eppure, "nonostante tutto questo, c'è un imbecille" al Wall Street Journal "che scrive che io sarei stato preso per un 'allocco'. L’Iran di certo non lo pensa! Né lo pensa nessun altro", ha proseguito.
L'attacco a Rupert Murdoch
"Immagino che Rupert Murdoch gli abbia detto di scrivere così, perché il Wall Street Journal ha perso la rotta, non è più una lettura indispensabile, solo l’ennesimo giornalaccio politico in declino", ha assicurato.

Trump's anger towards the Wall Street Journal: "I'm not a dummy."

Donald Trump did not appreciate a Wall Street Journal editorial that portrayed him as a “sucker” manipulated by the Iranians. In a post on Truth, the American president called the article’s author, Elliot Kaufman, an “idiot” and directly attacked editor Rupert Murdoch.

Trump’s fury: “Iran is a country in ruins”

The WSJ “just wrote an editorial titled: ‘The Iranians Consider Trump a Fool’. Seriously? They’ve killed our citizens for 47 years, and many others, and have profited from every president except me, and what did I give them? A country in ruins!” it wrote.

“The Iranian navy is at the bottom of the sea”

“Their entire navy is at the bottom of the sea, their air force doesn’t exist, their anti-air defenses and radar have been wiped out, their nuclear labs and storage areas were annihilated on a dark June evening by our great B-2 bombers; their leaders are dead, including General Soleimani, their genius of evil who destroyed the lives of so many with his handcrafted bombs placed at the edge of the streets; the Strait of Hormuz is blocked and completely controlled by the United States, with no ship able to head to Iranian ports — they say they are losing $500 million a day for this,” it listed.

Trump criticizes Obama

Trump then targeted his predecessor Barack Obama, who had “given them $1.7 billion in cash,” while “other presidents haven’t done anything to stop them.” Yet, “despite all this, there is a moron at the Wall Street Journal ‘who writes that I would be considered a ‘dunce.’ The Iranian certainly doesn’t think so! Neither does anyone else,” he continued.

The attack on Rupert Murdoch

“I imagine Rupert Murdoch told him to write like that, because the Wall Street Journal has lost its way, it’s no longer an indispensable read, just another declining political hack,” he assured.
