Lets consider what happened ... just this month.Today, Trump slaps on a 5% tariff on imports from Mexico and threatens to increase it to a maximum of 25% if those Mexicans do not stop those Mexicans from coming over the border. Whatever free trade deal negotiated between the 3 amigos in North America, that deal is in limbo now.
Earlier, the Trump administration threatens to bar some European entities from the US banking system and issue penalties if they do business with Iran. This is truly annoying to the Europeans because first of all everyone thought they had a deal with America, Europe, China, and Iran. But Trump pulls out of it, now threaten reprisals if the USA does not gets it way. Usually when you pull out of a deal, everyone goes their own way. Not in this case, after pulling out, Trump sticks his nose back in, and threatens others over anything they should do together, something which was all agreed on including the USA.
Trump and the US Governmenet's Huawei obsession. If Huawei was a person, this is almost like stalking! And Trump be arrested! This all over the news.
All this was happening this month alone!
Kind of like good news bad news.
The good news is Trump is finally getting used to his job.
The bad news is Trump is finally getting used to his job.
One word, courtesy of the CIA: blowback.
All these actions will have real blowback down the road for the USA.
But ... I don't think anyone cares. Trump by acting belligerent on the trade front, will receive wild popular support in his base strengthening his re-election chances.
