Editorial: Trump's Tirade
OPINION: "We are back to where we were a year ago," according to a leading banking analyst in the UK, referring to US president Donald Trump's latest imposition of a global 10% tariff on all exports into the US.
This was after Trump claimed it was an American who first split the atom. Sorry Donald old boy, any kiwi who has seen a NZ$100 bill will recognise the face of Lord Ernest Rutherford of Nelson on the front, and it was he who first split the atom in 1917 at Manchester University.
Rutherford was born in Brightwater near Nelson, quite a few kms from the US of A. Oh and by the way, he won the Nobel prize for chemistry.
Next Trump will claim Phar Lap as a great American racehorse or claim a US citizen invented the pavlova.
