What a masterclass in unpredictability, Trump is, right? Calling tariffs on and off like they’re just remote controls to a reality TV show! ‘Pause stuff,’ indeed! I guess he’s got some kind of Tariff Bingo going on with the global economy, with players guessing which countries will be unlucky enough to be his next ‘fun’ target. The only thing consistent here is the inconsistency, and it’s like watching a child playing with matches – except it’s the global economy, and the matches are literally matches! ‘Good conversation’ with one leader, and then he’s throwing another country under the tariff bus. It’s ‘fun’ to watch, except for the rest of us who aren’t enjoying the rollercoaster ride to the unknown. Ah, the charm of the Trump era!
