Now have stuck in my mind the image of Trump sitting at his desk just muttering “Tariff… TAR-iff… Tar-IFFFF” over & over.

Trump likes tarrifs because he thinks it's free money, and because people react to it, and because - we might as well believe him - he just randomly likes the word. There's never any hint that economic analysis has anything to do with it.

Grim stuff

Coming back from the G20 summit, Trump was editing an upcoming speech with Porter. Scribbling his thoughts in neat, clean pen-manship, the president wrote, "TRADE IS BAD."
TRADE IS BAD
Though he never said it in a speech, he had finally found the summarizing phrase and truest expression of his protectionism, isolationism and fervent American nationalism.
