>> Trump's Trade War

That might be how it is understood locally, but on an international scale this is quickly moving from "Trump's" to "America's" trade war. Various levels of US government have had opportunity to weigh in, but have generally acquiesced to the recent tariff policies. Calling this a "trump problem" wont fly much longer. This is now American trade policy.



Yeah 1) He won the popular vote. His support actually increased the 2nd time around, and 2) He should be in a tiny jail cell right now, what was Biden doing for 4 years?

This isn’t going away even if he leaves office in 4 years (which is looking unlikely).

Not causing a global financial crisis, mainly. But vis-a-vis his predecessor’s recurrent criminality, it’s hard to imagine what his options were, considering the capture of the remaining branches of government. Well, that, and the Constitution.


With hindsight Biden should maybe have encouraged the Jan 6th prosecution to happen less than four years after the event.
