"You don't have the cards" was a crude way for Donald Trump to say that he has the bully pulpit and that he's going to use it. Rejoining us on the tortoise shack is lecturer, author of Tax Haven Ireland and editor of the Irish Marxist Review, Dr Brian O'Boyle and he has as always some great insights to that is behind the rhetoric.
