Let’s face it; Trump is insane. He never thinks rationally and just shoots his mouth off. He has no strategy; throw insults and threaten tariffs. The problem we all have is that there is an evil cult in the USA; Trump is a mere mouthpiece.
There has been no apology for the atrocious comments he made about our troops; just now said the (correct) opposite because he was cornered.
The USA is in a bad place now. They are systematically destroying themselves. The worry is they will bring us down with them.
