Bob Jamieson<p>The Trump administration is treating governance and international relations and trade like a two yearold having a tantrum. You respond to a child`s tantrum by sitting them on the "naughty step" and ensuring they sit there until they regain control of themselves. You never punish them or try to "negotiate" with them because the tantrums escalate out of control.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/TrumpCoup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpCoup</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>US</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/InternationalTrade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InternationalTrade</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/InternationalRelations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InternationalRelations</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/WorldOrder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorldOrder</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/FutureOfDemocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FutureOfDemocracy</span></a></p>
