Trump is weaker than he looks as he only bullies weak entities like EU or Africa, not bulwarks like China, India or Russia
Equally, Trump’s victory in jacking up tariffs on imports may push up prices and knock employment. So far, the negative impact is mild. But only 37 per cent of Americans approve of his handling of the economy, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling, something that was his strong suit during his first term in the White House.
