I'm trying to think of times when Obama's surrogates played to Obama's need to be the center of attention.  :hmm:

Obama has more self esteem and doesn't need constant reassurance.

Of course Trump's more of a narcissist.  Jeez.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Trade war is in with the imposition of tariffs on European steel and aluminium. The EU will react with tariffs on American products.

You'd think maybe someone could rope this moron in a bit.

Or perhaps they have and this lunacy is the compromise? :unsure:

That's Trade War #1.  But the problem with steel and aluminum tariffs is that it increases costs to users of those commodities in the US and thus renders their production uneconomic.  Exhibit 1 - the US auto industry.  So to protect the US auto industry from the consequences of the metal tariffs, there needs to be tariffs on cars as well, to equalize things out.  Voila, Trade War #2. See where this is going?  There is a kind of deranged logic to it.
