Paul Krugman: Stop Looking for Methods in the Madness. There’s no plan, secret or otherwise, behind Trump’s tariffs.

"There can’t be any secret agenda behind the Trump tariffs, because there’s nobody around Trump with the knowledge or independence to devise such an agenda. This is all about Trump’s gut feelings.

Trump wants each country to grovel and want to cut a deal.
Since most of our trading partners aren’t in a groveling mood, trade war seems inevitable."
