When President Donald Trump stood outside the White House on April 2nd and revealed his “Liberation Day” tariffs, all hell broke loose. The “reciprocal” levies threatened to break financial markets, as well as scrambling international commerce.

The world economy tried to move on. Everyone began to lose interest. Everyone, that is, except Mr Trump.
