    Explaining his approach to the tariff policy that has triggered weeks of turmoil on global markets, the - president compared the US to the world’s department store.

    “I am this giant store. It’s a giant, beautiful store, and everybody wants to go shopping there,” he said.

    "And on behalf of the American people, I own the store, and I set prices, and I’ll say, ‘If you want to shop here, this is what you have to pay.’ "

    This sounds like the thinking of a dictator, not of a leader. He doesn’t own the “store”, the people do.

      He seems to have this the wrong way around.

      The world is the store, and he’s just some person outside its front door, holding out his hand and asking US customers for 5 bucks for every item they want to go home with.
