yet another U Turn from Trump's tariffs
Or maybe he's just trying to hang on for dear life as Trump zigs and zags "After his reversal on social media, Mr. Trump’s team was put in the unenviable position of trying to spin the media that this was the plan all along, a brilliant strategy straight out of the pages of the president’s best-selling book, “The Art of the Deal.” Mr. Bessent went so far as to deny that the bond market had driven the change. When Mr. Trump came out to explain his decision on Wednesday, however, he undercut both Mr. Bessent and Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, citing the jittery market and saying he was acting “instinctively, more than anything else.” https://archive.ph/pUTmz -

Why so many conspiracy theorists and what to do about them
I completely agree - it’s crucial to evaluate each conspiracy individually rather than lumping them all together under a broad "pro" or "anti" label. Personally, I’m firmly convinced the moon landings were real - there’s far too much scientific evidence to deny it. The "Fly Me to the Moon" movie from last year does an excellent job of satirizing the moon landing hoax narrative. As for 9/11 conspiracies, I believe the scale makes it unlikely to be valid. The distrust many people have for authority figures, particularly in the US, has fuelled these theories, especially when distortions are introduced - like the claim that the steel melted at free-fall speed. The reality is that it didn’t melt; it destabilised over hours, and the collapse was occured once it reached its structural limit and the structural collapse cascaded as pancaked down. Yet these misrepresentations often weave a narrative that sounds plausible but collapses under scrutiny. Much of the so-called "evidence" - like traces of thermite or claims of planted charges - is either deeply misleading or simply non-existent outside conspiracy theorist commentary. There’s no credible, peer-reviewed support for such claims. Observations of “flashes” during the collapse have also been wildly overstated; in a structure wired with millions of volts, electrical flashes and discharges are entirely expected when it fails catastrophically. It’s not proof of sabotage. The problem is, these distractions twist technical realities into something sinister for those already inclined to distrust the official narrative. Then, of course, there’s the utterly ridiculous stuff, like flat Earth theory. It doesn’t deserve serious attention, though I’ll admit, some of the outlandish comments can be unintentionally entertaining. -

Trump has finally met his match as he fights 3 unwinnable wars
IIRC military doctrine says never fight a war on two fronts. Trump has chosen three. US trade is only 12% of China's trade worldwide. It is also reaching out to other nations who are questioning whether alliances with the USA are worth anything. Trump lost the last trade war with China, when the US trade was 18%. The fact he thinks he can win a second round is a measure of his delusion.
