Exactly.

Trump just does one dumb thing after another, but this takes the cake.

Starting a trade war with the entire world, and especially China.

Trump thought he could make Xi bend the knee to him, and bragged about it, so painting himself and US into a corner.

DOW in free fall again.

And MAGA cheers, and Republicans sit on their hands.
