Let’s face it whatever happens in the US this man’s ego will always be pushing him to say it’s all part of the plan.

Ok what’s going on here? Yields are going up which means bond prices are going down. Fewer buyers of the world’s safest asset. Normally when the economy slows, there’s a flight to safety, not away from it. Means the world may be abandoning America. We are flirting with a true crisis.

China's efforts to clean up air pollution have been hailed as an environmental success story, but now it turns out there is a downside, as removing aerosols from the air has contributed to an increase in global warming.

Trump is having a unifying impact around the globe. Seems there ARE alternatives to the US being involved so heavily in foreign affairs. But Trump is not in control as much as his many minions may want to think. The dynamic he has set up for America with knee jerk, transactional approach means chaos

The way to think of Trumps decision is to think of a 5 year old and how hard it is to reason with them when the consequences of their actions are not able to be ascertained and they simply don’t care. Letting them find out the hard way is an option but with Trump that means the whole planet suffers

What Trump is doing reminds me of the bicycle and frog analogy. Treating complex systems that are akin to living organisms like you would pulling a bicycle apart to repair, discard and update parts, does not end well when you discover you can reassemble the bits together but you just killed the frog
