As world leaders reacted to the US president’s “liberation day” tariff policies demolishing the international trading order, about $2.5tn (£1.9tn) was wiped off Wall Street and share prices in other financial centres across the globe.
World leaders from Brussels to Beijing rounded on Trump. China condemned “unilateral bullying” practices and the EU said it was drawing up countermeasures.

It is almost like the Orange Turd does not know what he is doing.
Or perhaps he does and simply isn’t being transparent with his true objectives for America. He did say everything was going to plan, after all …
Nah pretty sure that’s him just not having the ability to even acknowledge its going to shit. Never admit defeat type of mentality.

He knows exactly what he’s doing. Running a protection racket.
It’s always unclear whether he’s deliberately destroying the West in the service of Russia, or whether he’s just unwittingly destroying the West in the service of Russia. That’s his great mystique.
Although by leaving Russia and only Russia out of these tariffs he may have just made himself a little less intriguing.
