View submission: Canada's Trudeau announces counter tariffs
I don't think it's this intelligent, but there are some things that actually might make sense, even though they don't make it a good idea: A) he thinks continued pressure on Trudeau's party helps the conservatives in October. B) He's genuinely still mad about the lumber mini-trade war that's been stupidly happening for a decade. C) He wants to bully everyone into a coalition to put pressure on China (though honestly I think this is almost sure to backfire)

I love how we're trying to make sense of these moves based on pure hope because surely nobody who could convince a plurality of Americans that he would be a good president would wantonly start "The dumbest trade war in history" (according to the WSJ). Right? Right?
