Who needs enemies? Prepare for an international trade war that may possibly destroy the global economy, Thanks to POTUS.

The US has decided to impose tariffs on allies after all was said and done, our word was worth little or none. These imposed tariffs are taxes on imports or exports between sovereign states. Do they equally apply to other nations like Russia and China?

Is POTUS out of his mind, senile or just out of control by antagonizing our closest democratic allies and at the same time embracing autocrats in #China, #NorthKorea and #Russia. Is he hell-bent on destroying the #GOP, or The #USA?

Why do POTUS and his #USA administration insist on elevating North Korea while protecting Russia and helping China?
