Fading, Fading, Fading….

Donald Trump is publicly begging China to talk to him.

Doubt they will when he’s thinking about an 80% tariff.

Pathetic stuff. pic.twitter.com/nZtyoJxSrb

Master negotiator.

Donald Trump is telling Republicans not to raise taxes on the rich even a tiny bit.

Because of course he is. pic.twitter.com/HeHtj5JFQU

Unstoppable force.

Well, Trump threatened additional sanctions yesterday if Russia didn’t agree to an immediate cease fire. 4th time he’s done that, and this is 4th time they rejected it. Trump continues to make threats while doing nothing, making us look weak and foolish yet again. pic.twitter.com/kFHE8SQHhT

International Doofus.

Full text of US-UK "deal" confirms:

1. *Not* a "free trade" deal.

2. For UK, largely successful damage limitation: limiting US tariffs on cars/steel for not very much. But damage still done.

3. For Trump, pretty much complete climbdown. (1/3)
