In response to As Trump flip-flops on tariffs, what’s the point of negotiating at all?

What is the point of Trump at all?

As the nightly news is flooded by Donald Trump, his irrelevance becomes more and more obvious.

Putin, Netanyahu and Xi Jinping, the real major players, humour and ignore him and the next level of leaders have come to realise that that’s the way to handle him.

It is becoming more and more obvious that the US Congress, the stock market and even his appointees are going about their business recognising that the king wears no clothes.

I would go far as to suggest that he be given the Nobel Peace Prize that he covets (because Obama got one) so he can go back to signing hats and knocking divets into golf corse around the world before the US loses all credibility and a real power struggle ends life on the planet and before the climate gets to do the job we humans have started. The end is nigh .
