Trump laying on heavy tariffs one day then changing his mind with lower tariffs the next day proves Trump's tariff policies are poorly thought out.

Also disagreements on tariffs between Musk (who has large Tesla factories in China) and some tariff extremists working for Trump, are weakening and damaging the US economy.

China appears the good guy lumped in with other tariff victims of US tariff aggression.

All bad in hard and soft power terms for the US.

WTF?

Back on 30 January, in yet another article on OLO, Murray Hunter would have us believe that: "Trump has the knack of turning disasters and threats into opportunities."

Now, just three months later, Murray Hunter is now saying: "The hard-handed approach of Trump, appears to have not considered the consequences."

It now appears that what the author should have said back in January is that: "Trump has the knack of turning opportunities into disasters and threats".
