You're under the mistaken impression that he acts rationally. He doesn't have a set goal beyond displaying power.

The "rumour" regarding H&M islands has no basis in reality.

How do you know what his goals are? Are you a mind reader?

I've watched him flail around on these tariffs for the past 5-6 months. On off on off at a whim.

Don't be fooled if something gets resolved and he says that's what he wanted all along. You need to reread the column.

How would I be fooled?

I've said I don't know what he's thinking so how would I be fooled if he declares he got what he wanted? I don't know what he really wants and neither do you.

It sounds like you'll believe him if he says he got what he wanted all along. Just saying don't be fooled by that.

See how it works? They literally canтАЩt be proved wrong. тАЬWe donтАЩt know what his goals are, so when he declares victory, who are we to claim otherwise?тАЭ ItтАЩs an article of faith for some people.
