And meanwhile, this idea Trump's got that he's going to hand out $5,000 to every adult American if the Republicans end up in charge of the House and Senate in the midterms, which is, I mean, unbelievable.

But the people like, there's a woman who's a center for responsible budget, I think this is the same as many of the think tanks that have to be listened to here, says the proposal is fiscally dangerous.

She's worked out the proposal would cost $1.2 trillion.

And economists have weighed in saying that a cash infusion of that size, which would be almost twice the size of the COVID stimulus package, would cause so much inflation that the American economy would be completely blown off course.

So it might be that if you're just trying to play the sort of fanboy game, you're not really going to get involved with the Scots because they're just not a strategic group for you to bring in, which is a shame.

But nonetheless, in Northern Ireland, they've been having a field day with this.

I was looking at, there's a fabulous woman, Suzanne Breen, who's the political editor of the Bell Tell, Belfast Telegraph.

And she tweeted, those who have spent years kowtowing to Donald Trump should have red faces now.

Hello again, you're with View from Stormont.

Now to our commentators and tonight I'm joined by former DUP Special Advisor David Graham, the Belfast Telegraph's Political Editor Suzanne Breen, Chris Donnelly is a commentator and former Sinn Féin election candidate and Professor Deidre Heenan from Ulster University.

You're all very welcome.

Deidre, if we come to you first, because just before the break, we were hearing from the new health minister, Robbie Butler, and he said that he's frustrated by the rinse and repeat nature of committing to pay awards and the looming threats of industrial action.

I mean, what I do have hope for, though, is for the first time clinicians from Causeway are no longer silent.

They are coming out, joining the debate and saying this is not the way to deliver good policy.

OK, Suzanne Breen, Robbie Butler, of course, is in the post because of an internal Ulster Unionist party row.

Has the party come out the other side of that? Do you think it's steadied itself?

They were quite good.

Suzanne Breen had a couple of good pieces this week and a couple of good columns as well.

So I should give a shout out to them as well for the content.

The Belfast Telegraph is always good.

Mike Nesbitt is understood to have asked his leader to publicly move away from that position, but John Burrows refused.

What's going to be the outcome of all of this for the UUP? I'm joined by our political editor, Suzanne Breen.

Suzanne Breen, you're once again very welcome to The Bell.

Tell Suzanne what has happened.
