    Don’t think it’s a climb down – I think he just gets a kick out of keeping everyone else running around in circles and trying to second guess him. Makes him feel powerful and in command. Guy’s a Guinness Book All-Time Record Jerk.

      absolutely. he’s a chaos machine. and if the pushback/ resistance is not painful enough for america, he will continue doing it.

      part of me thinks this is being done to normalize the economic shock - he’s already doing it socially. pull this crap often enough and the markets stop reacting violently.

      he also gets to claim that the victims are the aggressors, ukraine style.
