They are right about the tariff threats, but orange man is quick to roll those back.

Otherwise, it is hilarious to blame orange man for the current malaise. Biden provoked and escalated the Ukraine proxy war, with detrimental effects on energy prices and the world economy.

Trump seemingly tries to shut down that conflict, which would be a major boost to the world economy. Whether he'll go through with that against the powerful political interest groups is another question.

Trump is just completely ignoring the conflict. All negotiations in Riad were about normalising US-Russia relationship. Ukraine was barely mentioned.

US is now buying mines and land from Ukraine for bargain price. Whatever Russia or Ukraine controls those mines in 10 years, does not really matter to US government! They will get ownership, profits and resources either way!
