REPORTER: Die EU hat angekündigt, Null-Zölle-gegen-Null-Zölle auf Autos und Industriegüter anzubieten. Reicht das nicht?

TRUMP: Nein, das reicht nicht. Wir haben ein Defizit gegenüber der EU von 350 Milliarden Dollar. Und es wird schnell verschwinden. Einer der Gründe und Möglichkeiten, wie dieses Defizit schnell und einfach verschwinden kann, ist, dass sie ihre Energie von uns kaufen müssen.“

So after driving the world's largest economy off a cliff, causing precipitous declines in the stock markets for two days, what did Trump choose to do?

He took another long weekend off to cheat at golf, of course. Why should his lifestyle be affected by the chaos and destruction he's unleashing?

Note: when a billionaire [1] says there may be some short-term pain due to his economic policies, he means pain for you. Never him, or his buddies.

And finally, on his way back to D.C., he made a few remarks about the economy and markets, claiming everything was fine. The chilling part is that his words made absolutely clear that he does not understand the difference between a trade deficit and a budget deficit.

I'll repeat that for those in the back: THE MAN IN COMMAND OF THE MACHINERY THAT CONTROLS THE US ECONOMY DOES NOT KNOW THAT A TRADE DEFICIT AND A BUDGET DEFICIT ARE DIFFERENT THINGS.

After understanding that, if you still believe that his actions are going to result in a stronger US economy after some "short term" pain, I have a bridge to sell you.

[1] I don't think Trump was actually a billionaire before the last election. He had lots of claimed-expensive assets, but was leveraged heavily on almost everything. His net worth was probably low hundreds of millions, max. But he's grifted massively since then, and probably is now..
