Last night, I was watching an interview on PBS Newshour with the trade minister or some official of the EU who was being asked questions about the tariff agreement worked out between Trump and EU officials earlier in the day.
It was telling. She was doing her best to put a positive spin on developments, but it was obvious she was trying to show restraint as she wrestled with words that wouldn’t set off the Toddler-in-Chief and force him to reconsider the terms.
She kept talking about “certainty” in terms of countries at least having a better sense for the numbers they’ll be working with. But one could tell the spin cycle was in high gear. Without saying as much, the best she could do was to put some lipstick on a pig, all the while needing to suppress other emotions. The Dealmaker-in-Chief had struck again.
He must feel like he’s on a roll.
Savor it, Donald. The Epstein thing hasn’t gone anywhere.
