The events of the past few weeks destroyed whatever credibility Donald Trump may still have had on economic policy. And investors are celebrating. At this point, evidence that Trump tweets are sound and fury signifying nothing is, in effect, good news.
The fact is, the international community is thrilled with Donald Trump. They know his threats are as empty as his cranium. There is relatively little he can do to harm them, as he has managed to destroy every international alliance this nation has had for the past 70 years, and has managed to withdraw our nation from trade agreements that were largely favorable to us.
Now, none of this matters to the Chinese, the Mexicans, or the Russians for that matter. Trump is very much the president they want, for they may continue to have their way with him.
China, meanwhile, remains the Cheshire Cat down the rabbit hole that we all over the world now inhabit, patiently biding its time.
