     ♲ @mlansbury@despora.de:#America’s weak strongman

     
     Over the past two months, financial investors have hit upon a new trading strategy, based on a simple rule: #TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out)

     America’s president threatens to slap massive import tariffs on friends and foes alike, or to remove the Federal Reserve chair, only to back down when the whip of the market imposes its uncompromising discipline. Then he switches back to tariffs, only to back down yet again.

     It’s a pattern that extends beyond the economy. In fact, it’s the defining feature of Donald #Trump’s presidency. But Trump is not just “chicken.” He is a weak strongman, and America’s adversaries may understand that better than most #Americans.
