In a remarkable report, NBC News advises that President Trump was angry and ‘unglued’ when he started a trade war.
Here are more details from NBC:
According to two officials, Trump's decision to launch a potential trade war was born out of anger at other simmering issues and the result of a broken internal process that has failed to deliver him consensus views that represent the best advice of his team.It seems to carry the element of truth but you have to wonder if the establishment is just seeding the soil for an eventual 25th Amendment removal of the President.
On Wednesday evening, the president became "unglued," in the words of one official familiar with the president's state of mind.
A trifecta of events had set him off in a way that two officials said they had not seen before: Hope Hicks' testimony to lawmakers investigating Russia's interference in the 2016 election, conduct by his embattled attorney general and the treatment of his son-in-law by his chief of staff.
Trump, the two officials said, was angry and gunning for a fight, and he chose a trade war, spurred on by Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and Peter Navarro, the White House director for trade.

ReplyDeleteYup.
"one official familiar with the president's state of mind."
Trump's wife and Scott Adams may have insight into Trump's mind but I have doubt that "one official" is anything more than a blabbermouth with his gossip tarted up with fancy words.
I heard it was caused by a YouTube video that was offensive to Muslums.
