    Mexico shoots itself in the foot, twice. Good aim!

    Mexico doubles down on pivot away from U.S.

    Trump hammering American farmers: reduce their market and cut off their labor supply. MAGA FTW!

    Here's the thing about Trump. Almost every single tweet/executive order/statement about policy direction is a knee jerk reaction.

    I can't think of a single issue where he's actually thought through an issue and deliberated about a policy position and direction in which to proceed. It's all just one knee-jerk reaction after another.

    Imagine that. At first, we get knee jerk news. Now, we get knee jerk reaction from command in chief. Make Entertainment Great Again.

    I can at least understand news wanting to be first and generating clicks. But who would want a jerky commander? Humm.

    Trump is a reflection of his voters. His voters basically voted for him as a temper tantrum against the political establishment. They have not thought through the consequences of their vote, just like Trump doesn't think through the consequences of his action. They do these things just to say FU.

    I am not a fan of Trump's trade plans. If he backs off it is a good thing IMHO.
