"These people have literally no idea what they are talking about. Debt/deficits are measured as a % of GDP. The average migrant in UK adds around 30k to GDP annually and costs HM Treasury maybe 3k or so. The anti-migrationists need to get this right or nothing will change"

"If youre a Foreign Minister like @sikorskiradek do you not get your tweets fact-checked so as not to embarrass yourself Hungary has a PPP-adjusted per capita GDP of $48.2k. Greece has one of $44.9k. Poland needs to professionalise its government. Sad"

"The anonymous sources who feed the @FT fake news factory obviously have no access to the White House and are just making up stories. They are coping so hard because of the Budapest peace summit their made up story factory is spinning out stuff no one could take seriously"

"EU leaders are trying to play the diplomatic games the US played in the Obama era. But Finland is not the US. The rest of the world watches this stuff and concludes you are a rogue state that promotes conflict globally. Finland is not large enough to get away with this. 📉"

"Fund managers also now well aware that a meltdown in private equity/credit - which will probably come on the back of a burst AI bubble - is very likely to lead to a systemic credit event. There is now a decent consensus that the US is heading toward a 2008-style crisis. 📉"

"Even the Hungarian opposition is endorsing the Budapest peace summit. Remember @magyarpeterMP is a member of @EPP whose leader @ManfredWeber is a fanatical warmonger. Despite Magyars failings it shows true character to break with lunatics like Warlover Weber on this issue"

"The average European country is completely isolated with a hysterical leadership class that resembles the sort of people you find in hermit kingdoms. Hungary meanwhile dominates on the world stage. Winners like winning. Losers love losing. What can you say"

"Uh oh. So the WSJ has run an article saying that the Hungarian opposition led by @magyarpeterMP is basically a pro-Ukrainian op designed to defang any opposition to the war in Europe. This is NOT how you win an election in Hungary guys. 🗳"

"1/ Is history repeating itself in the US housing market Economic historians are well aware that Florida often turns out to be Ground Zero for housing market crashes. This was the case in 1929 and in 2008. Is the decline in condo prices telling us a housing bubble is popping 🧵"

"3/ A study I did with @hiia_budapest shows that the situation is even worse. It is not just the Romanian government overborrowing. The whole country is borrowing to prop up consumption that it cannot afford through massive imports that are not balanced by exports"

"More details on the fiscal mess in Romania. It's pretty amazing that policymakers there ignored a current account deficit of over X% of GDP. But here we are. And imagine they had the nerve to tell Hungarians and Slovaks that Romania was a richer country. Chutzpah"

"If the export controls the Chinese just put in place really do tank the NASDAQ - which in turn will unwind what is left of USD hegemony - historians are going to surely note how dry the MOFCOM statement was that launched the economic nuclear weapon"

"Interestingly bonds rallied on Friday in a way they didnt after Liberation Day. This likely signals that if the AI bubble does blow domestic investors will put some downward pressure on bond yields. Whether thats enough to counter foreign money exiting remains to be seen"

"Compare the error ranges on the Hungarian pro-gov polls versus the opposition polls over time. The error on the opposition polls has risen around XXX% over time. The error on the pro-gov polls has risen maybe 50%. The opposition polls look incredibly dubious and fake. 🗳"

"Trump admin in hard reverse as we approach market open. I think the messaging might just about work. But the AI bubble has taken another credibility hit. Only dumb money and money that is forced to be there is invested in Mag X these days. 🫧"

"The duality in markets these past three years is nuts. You have the tech bulls and the gold bugs in the lead. The former are USD believers who think AI is heading toward the singularity. The latter think that the US empire is collapsing and AI is a giant bubble. 🌶"

"Fiscal sustainability is measured as debt/deficit as a % of GDP. So if an immigrant adds more to GDP than they take from the public purse they net stabilise the fiscal balance. Im always shocked how poorly this is understood in online discussions on migration"

"The British anti-migrationists will not acknowledge this. Their reaction is emotional. So no real planning or policy will be formulated. And soon - very soon - Britain will get the Faragewave"

"Increasingly the UK can be thought of a Guns and Migrants economic model. Leaders focus on maintaining global relevance and pay for it by replacing more and more of their population. Very strange economic model in my humble opinion"
