Thank you President Trump!

If it hurts the establishment and they’re not on board with it and freaking out about it, then he’s probably doing the right thing.

That didn't take long.

Even Trump's own party are slamming this lunacy.

Wang Yi is correct.

It's time to react and show the US that they cannot behave like a schoolyard bully.

Lash out at our allies, defend Putin and Xi.

Trump’s FSB handlers certainly have a sense of humor.

Everybody is speaking like a politician. Those days are over. Any situation in the world with the word "war" in it always conjures up situations for debate. So now there will be a debate, all countries in the world will threaten to retaliate, They will get it out of their system how the United States under the leadership of President Trump will destroy the world economy, then they will finally make new trade deals. Politicians must act like this to save face.

True.

Starting a trade war is always a bad idea, not least because the instigator always starts in a position of weakness as they start first.

All affected countries will retaliate, but they have the freedom to choose which industries to retaliate in, whereas America has already decided with steel and aluminium.

Unsurprisingly, the other countries will target the industries that would cause the most economic damage to America

Swedish appliance manufacturer Electrolux halts $250 million project in Springfield, Tennessee, in response to Trump's tariff announcement. So it begins.

In the last couple of days, we've started trade wars with Canada, Mexico and Germany. Meanwhile, Trump still hasn't acted on the sanctions he's supposed to impose against Russia.

I'm sure that's just a coincidence.
