Wonder if the stock market scared him.

Well. The USA is having a trade war with 176 nations.

China? It is only having a trade war with 1 and shoring up support with every other nation on Earth.

I don't know what Trump expected, but this is exactly what was going to happen, the USA will lose support from it's allies and strengthen it's rivals.

What Trump expected?

That everybody would come crawling on their knees to him and agree to everything and anything he wants from them, and did an epic Pikachu face when he met even just an inch of resistance. Since then, he's flip-flopping like no other, trying to be hard on other countries for his MAGA supporters and being a shoe-kisser to everybody who threatens him because he has no spine and a very thin skin, and because the crashing stock market affects the bottom line of him and his cronies, and they can't have that billionaires getting any less rich...
