The execrable egomania of Donald Trump is on constant full blast. He is congenitally incapable of acknowledging any weakness or failure on his part. In his malignant mind he is infallible and the model of human superiority on a scale that approaches divinity.

Consequently, Trump believes that everything he ever does or says is drenched in the purity of perfection. He never makes a mistake, or a bad decision, or misspeaks, or causes any harm, expect when purposely directed at his enemies who deserve it. He has even declared that, unlike everyone else in his faith, he is exempt from asking his god for forgiveness because he never does anything to be forgiven for. No, really!

On Tuesday Trump met with the new Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney. During this meeting Trump disgorged his typical torrent of tantrums, litany of lies, and pitifully ignorant perceptions of the world. For instance, he repeated his preposterous desire to annex Canada as America’s 51st state, which Carney forcefully rejected. And he veered off into his ludicrous claim that he saved California from wildfires. He even gave himself credit for Carney’s election, evidently oblivious to that fact that Canadians, in part, voted for Carney out of disgust for his Trumpy opponent.

Among Trump’s self-serving ramblings (that went on for an interminable 40 minutes), were his outlandish observations on trade and his recessionary tariffs. And naturally, his narcissistic analysis was that they were brilliant and beneficial, despite the harshness of reality. Virtually every reputable economist is predicting increased prices, higher inflation, and impending recession.

Nevertheless, Trump remains delusionally confident, even though he has failed to secure any of the trade deals that he insisted would be made by countries desperate to ingratiate themselves to Trump and/or America. He literally bragged about his utter failure to get any deals signed, saying that “We don’t have to sign deals … they have to sign deals with us.”

TRUMP: We don't have to sign deals … they have to sign deals with us.SHEESH! Trade deals are signed by BOTH parties, not one. And all Trump is doing is pointing out that he has been unable to negotiate a single deal with any of 190+ countries that he's put his idiotic #TrumpTariffs (Taxes) on.

Apparently Trump is unaware that trade deals are agreed to and signed by both parties to the deal. But after a month since he declared that it was “Liberation Day,” no other country has expressed any interest in complying with Trump’s bullying tactics. Including Canada, whose Prime Minister was sitting next to him as he made these asinine remarks.

However, Trump was only just getting started. He went on to boast that he has virtually halted all trade with China, and that that was good because “By not trading, we’re losing nothing. So we’re saving a trillion dollars. That’s a lot.”

TRANSLATING TRUMP: We're not buying groceries or clothes. So we're saving a lot of money.You're also starving and naked, you moron.

Seriously? Trump believes that by cutting off all trade between the U.S. and China that the money that wasn’t spent was therefore saved. Well, maybe so. But we are also deprived of the goods that weren’t purchased. Which could include necessities like food and medicine and energy and building supplies. Just think how much money you could save by not buying your heart medications.

That’s the depth with which Trump understands trade and economics. And the ignorance that he embraces is going to cause some significant misfortune for millions of Americans. In the meantime, he is humiliating himself and America in the eyes of the world. Hopefully they know that he doesn’t represent the majority of us, and that we’re doing everything we can to mitigate his harm and to get rid of him.
