Now that Cohn is out it looks like game on for a new trade war. You never know with Trump, however, but Cohn’s departure is not a good signal.
The British newspaper, City A.M., gives us a hint at how the Europeans may retaliate. Hit the industries in the red states, particularly the home of the Congressional leadership.
Trump Increasingly Viewed As A Paper Tiger
The question now has President Trump painted himself into a corner?
Backing down would only reinforce the growing image that Trump is a bit of policy flake and a Paper Tiger.
I see no evidence that the president’s reputation as a paper tiger has improved at all since the summer. Just this week, as Ponnuru says, Trump floated a new protectionist plan – Ramesh Ponnuru, Bloomberg
Time to back down? Will he? Can he?
President Trump sounding a lot like Tom Petty these daze
.
I Won’t Back Down – Tom Petty
[Verse 3]
Well I know what’s right
I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin’ me around
But I stand my ground
And I won’t back down

The British headline, “Hit the Chevy with a Levy…” is very witty!

King,
It is from the song, American Pie, as I am sure you are aware:
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin’ this’ll be the day that I die
This’ll be the day that I die
Love that headline. And the video. >
Thanks, Larry. #Me Too
