Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Well, Maybe It's The Same Old Song

 So, Trump pissed off two of our closest allies - both politically and geographically - and then drops the tariffs when the markets tank without really accomplishing anything, besides pissing off Canada and Mexico.

That is very much a Trump 1.0 type move and his modus operandi. In the end, those who expected something more like the first go-round have been vindicated for the moment in this particular instance. 

The Musk stuff though.  That's really, really bad.
