Oh I don’t know, how about:

Not imposing ludicrous tariffs based on flawed economics on the entire world at once?

Not imposing tariffs with no warning on your closest allies and attempting to bully them into submission?

Not imposing huge tariffs on some of the weakest nations you trade with (e.g. Laos, Vietnam).

Not changing trade policy radically every few days and announcing it on social media?

Not crashing the stock market, announcing a reverse on your social media platform, then boasting about how much money your billionaire friends made?

Not calling one of your largest trading partners peasants and the then very clever, alternating between insults and praise like a two-bit mobster?

This administration has made America a laughing stock; I don’t think many Americans realise just how much trust has been burned with allies since ‘liberation day’.
