US Democrats have declared July 31st 'International Chicken Day'. The day is already National Avocado Day and National Chilli Dog Day - so what's with the chicken?


Democrats are, of course, just trying to score political points. They expect July 31st to be the day that Donald Trump chickens out of imposing tariffs - again!


Donald has been threatening tariffs since forever. He's imposed a few, changed a few, lifted a few - a general tariff hokey-cokey in fact. But he keeps chickening out on imposing most tariffs, claiming that countries are super keen to agree trade deals. Yeah. Right.


Will the suggestion that Trump Always Chickens Out be correct again? Probably. The President is widely expected to give most nations another 20/40/50/90 days to do a deal. Because, so far, the USA has concluded no significant trade deals at all (sorry, Britain - not significant).


So we will probably all be celebrating on July 31st with avocados (not Mexican, obviously), chilli dogs...and another massive helping of chicken.

In a striking, powerful move, epitomising strength and certainty, Trump has given Putin only 50 days to reply to his Peace Deal suggestions. This obviously doesn’t include weekends, that would be crazy. If Putin fails to meet this Red Line in the Sand order, then he will be given only two months to explain the delay. If no reply is received in this critical period, then Trump will have no other option but to escalate this to a further two months.

If no acceptable response is obtained, then Trump will have little choice but to declare the start of Operation Waiting Eagle, which will instantly start within 2 weeks and take 1 to 9 months of shock and awe standing around. Elite negotiation teams will directly amble towards empty meeting rooms in nice hotels in Switzerland and see if anyone Russian turns up.


Failure by Russia to acknowledge they even have spoken with the US will mean a Final Warning will be drafted and sent to Putin’s last known address and should be expected in 5-8 working days. Barring delays from holidays and if anyone important is off ill, then this will promptly start the 10 day countdown to WAITCON Grey, the blandest Waiting Readiness Condition. This means maximum waiting preparedness is achieved and signifies a high potential for a pre-conference or a casual chat outside a meeting room. Let's see how Putin will handle that.


As Trump thought about doing something on Day One of his presidency, he feels he has fully met his election promise of peace in Ukraine.
