Don't listen to pundit explanations for Spanky's trade war. The only explanation is his deeply disturbed personality. There is no game plan or coherent strategy. He is a narcissist or sociopath, so must win. He can't fight an actual war ...yet. So starts a global trade war using tariffs.

A lesson in right vs wrong:
Using government power to target political enemies is wrong.
Standing up for those who are targeted is right.
Bowing down is wrong.
Refusing to be deterred and stating tall is right.
Silence is wrong.
Peaceful opposition is right.
