He is now obsessed by his legacy. It's almost as if he is focused on fascist architecture and elusive Peace Prizes more than the economy. He is again being careless about the latter with open market posts and 100% add-on tariff taxes. He is thinking he is driving a hard bargain but the Chinese have some experience negotiating and some history enduring pain and stress.

I wonder if the full-court press he put on for the Prize indicates a timing issue, an impending horizon. Perhaps he wanted the 2025 Prize so badly because he may not be eligible for the 2026 as measured by body temperature?
