Some dumb ass called Donald did. They called their hand, who has more to lose.

China was supposed to send Krasnov suitcases of money. For each suitcase Krasnov will reduce the tariff 5%.

His massive ego amplifies his incredible stupidity. The only people more stupid are his hard-core supporters.

This is about way more than "economics".
