Dumb

Over the weekend, in a Wall Street Journal editorial, Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico were referred to as being “The dumbest trade war in history” in the headline. Then, on Monday, with this editorial, the stock market losing ground quickly and overall uncertainty in the U.S. economy, Trump paused the tariffs, supposedly after talking to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo about actions regarding these countries’ enhancement of border security. Stay tuned.

And, speaking of dumb, Trump ordered the release of 2.2 BILLION gallons of water from reservoirs in California to send to fire stricken southern California, an action for which he greatly praised himself for, of course. Only one problem, the water was totally separate from the Los Angeles county water system and therefore could NOT reach the Los Angeles area. It was dumped for nothing wasting valuable water needed for the dry summer season in California.
