OMG Trump is fucking dumber than dumb

First thing Trump did when he got elected was cancel US participation in the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). The other countries went on to sign it anyway, after eliminating things in it that the US had asked for. It was a stupid, stupid thing to do but the Trump mindless rhetoric was trade deals are bad. Now what was the TPP designed to be? It was a trade alliance designed to counter China, by getting all the Pacific nations EXCEPT China into a free trade deal. The kind of thing that would be super useful if, say, you wanted to have a trade war with China. Our side of the trade war would include all these nations, it would help cushion the blow to the US by having many alternatives to trade with China. But the dunce cancelled it, because... Trump. And then he started a trade war with China, exactly the kind of thing the TPP was supposed to help with, except he cancelled it, so now the US has to go it alone against China. Well the stupid idiot seems to have figured out too late why the TPP was so useful: TODAY TRUMP ASKED HIS TRADE REP TO FIND OUT WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO JOIN THE TPP. You just can't make this stuff up...
