Unfortunately...or fortunately...I still can't figure it out...he somehow has been managing to turn situations that are clearly look like blunders and somehow extracting benefits for our country. It makes no sense. Like all our tariff policies. No economist ever looks at what he's doing, but somehow he's managed to get multiple countries to cave using that tactics. TBD if it's good for our economy in the long game...I'm not hopeful. Still, he (and we as a country) comes off looking like and idiot, but the end state comes out better than I expected. My gut tells me that he, or his staff, is having behind the scenes conversations for the real negotiations and all the stuff in front of the cameras is pure theater. I hate it, but if this administration extracts some positives out of the situation, good for us I guess. I'll hold my judgment til his term is over.

Now I think this is just a Wag the Dog to take steam off of stuff like Epstein files and ICE killings, etc.
