  1. It doesn't have to be global. It is going to be tough on the United States - at least until J.D. Vance decides that this is his 25th Amendment moment. Trump is obviously disabled, and I think that the drubbing the GOP are going to take in the midterms may clarify some Republican minds on this matter. For the American crack-up that Trump is working on to be kept local, the rest of us are going to have to be responsible and thoughtful. For starters, we don't need to retaliate. Trump is obviously the idiot running around saying "Do this, do that and I'm going to keep hitting myself on the head with this hammer to show what an interesting character I am." Hitting ourselves on the head with our hammers is not a sensible reply to this fule. Trump's coming outrages are going to cause all sorts of market irrationalities. Chiefly, there is going to be a huge hit to the standard of living of the Average American -- but also there's going to be a supply in aluminum and steel across the rest of the world. (The world steel surplus is almost permanent, because every Big Operator of every line of thought, has a little bit of Stalin in him. Thank goodness for Deng Xiao Peng for looking after things for the past forty years, at the expense of the Chinese consumer. The next forty years are going to present the same problem again. Marshall Plan 2.0 for Latin America might hold that back for a while...) What must we all do? 1.) Relax. Just doing nothing will be better than doing all the stoopid retaliatory things that make some politicians so goddam happy. 2.) Ameliorate the aluminum and steel surpluses. We can all start on that Marshall Plan 2.0 ourselves. This will be a good time to invest in a lot of those Chinese-style sky highways and bridges to the heavens, all across the Andes, and maybe the Atlas range as well. It could be a wonderful time for French and German tourism down through Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia. 3.) Elect another decent Pope. I.e. one who will remind everybody that Mohammad was just another regular guy like Jesus, a hard working dreamer who wanted to be a good Jew. This will do wonders for the labour shortages of Britain, Germany -- and Russia, if they decide to "join the party," in Sarah .C Paine's good phrase. 4.) Wish America well. They'll do the right thing eventually.
