We’re only on day two of Donald Trump’s trade war, and it’s going about as poorly as everyone expected. Canada and Mexico are firing back with retaliatory tariffs. Stock market futures are plunging overnight. Even the right wing Wall Street Journal is urging Trump to call the whole thing off. As everything falls apart, Trump is becoming completely manic in real time.

Trump has now made dozens of social media posts in a row, most of them in the past 20 minutes, each post more bonkers than the last. Trump is going absolutely nuts about how wonderful tariffs supposedly are. He’s also lashing out at South Africa for some reason.

Trump’s posts right now are like reading the Unabomber manifesto, if the Unabomber had full-blown dementia. It’s truly surreal that Donald Trump, who has the cognitive ability of a four month old, is now dictating US trade policy. Just wait till the stock market crashes in the morning.
