Reality has a vote, in politics as in entertainment - Washington Examiner

Julian Zelizer : After the president's " Liberation Day " tariffs, stock market prices fell sharply, he put the tariffs on a 90-day pause.

Zelizer says reality and widespread reactions to a policy I and many others regarded as “lunatic” caused him to change course.

He says Trump 's attempts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine have proved unfounded, so far.

Trump signaled that his triple-digit tariffs on China might be lowered and that he has “no intention to fire” Powell .

Trump 's policies on trade, like his policies on immigration, are aimed at incentivizing people to do what he wants.

But judging from the sharp decline in incoming foreign travelers, the number of people self-deport isn’t going to be small.

Trump seems unaware of the lasting damage he may be inflicting on the economy and body politic by his wild policy changes.
