Trump Displays His Volatile Side

New York Times: “A capitulating Congress had passed his signature domestic policy legislation, despite concerns over its deep cuts to the social safety net. The European Union caved to Mr. Trump and his threat of tariffs by announcing a trade deal during the president’s trip to Scotland. Emboldened, Mr. Trump moved ahead with sweeping tariffs that could reshape the world economy.”

“But on Friday, Mr. Trump, confronted with foes and facts that he could not easily control, displayed another side of himself, responding with disproportionate intensity and a distinct impatience.”

“His actions were part of a pattern in which he has shown growing intolerance toward those who will not bend to his will.”
