    Richard Branson accuses Trump of 'doing so much damage' to the world

    Virgin Atlantic founder says 'erratic' decisions from US president
    have been 'awful for everyone'

    Sir Richard Branson has attacked Donald Trump's policies as "doing so
    much damage" to the world, adding that he did not believe the US
    president's actions were backed by most Americans.

    The Virgin Atlantic founder warned that the "erratic and
    unpredictable" actions of the White House were undermining business,
    although he singled out Trump's policy on Ukraine as the one that
    "should worry the world the most".

    The British billionaire said that he had spoken to Elon Musk, the
    Tesla and SpaceX chief executive, who has become a prominent Trump
    adviser, about Ukraine, but did not divulge further details.

    In comments made to reporters before Virgin Atlantic's inaugural
    flight to mark the start of services from London to the Saudi Arabian
    capital Riyadh, Branson said that Trump's policies, from imposing
    tariffs to "jumping side" in the war, were "awful for everyone"
    ...
    ...
    He said Trump's policies were "very difficult for business to deal
    with", adding: "It's just such a pity because everything was going so
    bloody well up to about three months ago.

    Of course I know who he is. My advice was to idiot American voters who
    decided to believe a sack of lies that smarter individuals would've
    found immediately suspect.

    How are those grocery prices doing these days, idiots? Vote smarter
    next time.
