Trump fucked up. Trump can't see the end game. He only sees "right now". He's been talking about tariffs and I believe some of them have been put in place. This plays well with his base back home, but pisses off ALL of our allies. He walked into the G7 Summit and was faced with a group of really pissed off people so he flipped it and said "Gee, maybe no tariffs". He can't please everyone. If he puts tariffs in place it pleases his base but pisses off our allies, and if he removes the tariffs it will piss off his base but please our allies.
Trump doesn't understand the concept of long term. He is very much stuck in the boardroom with "let's make a deal right now" without understanding the consequences of his actions. In the boardroom they make a deal and everyone walks away happy. It doesn't work this way with world politics. He made a promise to his base - to put tariffs in place - and now he has to deal with the consequences.
He calls himself the great negotiator but hasn't finalized a single deal since he took office nearly two years ago.
