The Guardian responded to various such claims over the years in quite a bit of detail [1]. A choice quote: > The Guardian's current position on tax is not immensely complicated, not least because it is not making any profits. When G

Unfortunately, the opinions of a sitting US president on any given issue has relevance not just for the US, but for the world as well. As long as that remains true, status-quo being Trump is a concern for everyone.
