An American in Paris won 6 Oscars, but not now.

I can confirm that Parisians never liked Americans because they won't attempt French.
Americans also think that they invented the English language.
They are always welcome in the UK.

I read that earlier.

There are suspicions that the Trump tariff pronouncements were schemes to help enrich his buddies.  Tariffs cause world wide stock value shrinkage.......buy low.....wait a few days and values rise sharply.   Maybe so But I am not sure  that Trump is smart enough or clever enough to figure that out, Some of his influential cohorts may well be smart enough........

He's had a fascination with tariffs for a long time so would be easily manipulated, and well worth it to the right players. Like serious money--multimillions easily.

The chump actually commented that some billionaire friends had made money in the Stock Market when it fluctuated.

Remember Bush jr complaining that the French didn't have a word for entrepreneur.

[Dark Lightning]

Indeed. That's a special kind of ignorant.

Have you noticed that Trump acts and speaks like GWB?

"I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace." "We must stop the terror. I call upon all nations, to do everything they can, to stop these terrorist killers. Thank you...now watch this drive." – to reporters while playing golf.

So when Trump talks about tariffs he's really talking about free trade.

Unbelievable

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we," Bush said. "They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

Has Trump learned from a former British politician?

You know... Whether or not it was meant to do that, it certainly did. Mass psychology is quite predictable that way. Heck, even my hobby-investor butt managed to squeeze the tariffs for some profit.
