The rest of the world should play Trump down the line on trade deals. They are the only thing that can save him from his own mistake.
Without, he goes into the midterms with a recession and non of the deals he promised.
Even if he survives as a lame duck he’s gone after his term.

The bond market spanked Trump for posting about Powell, it’ll be interesting to see if he’s learned that lesson and how much he cares. It’s possibly the only thing that does have leverage at this point.

The $ needs to weaken to spur reindustrialization and be strong to limit inflation passthrough from tariffs, which are supposed to spur onshoring, provide long-term revenues, and be a negotiable bargaining chip. And l/t interest rates have to be lower. The last is at least an uncomplicated desire.

It starts with Trump as instigator however rather than seeing him as a consequence and reflecting on that.
When he won I said we now live in the time of the 3 emperors.
But he is the 3rd and in many ways a consequence of the others.

Von der Leyen’s acknowledgment that she wouldn’t have predicted where we are right now is fair, but there is an air of not seeing tomorrow.
That worries me when she dismisses the possibility that the Brexit/Trump theme could manifest in Europe.

It’s worth considering in all the rationalizing and confusion around the tariffs, Trumps plans and possible outcomes what objective the Tariff formula supports.
It does nothing to identify reciprocal tariffs but does identify dependency. It’s a way of working out to what degree you can squeeze
