And outside the realm of economics, the United States has just experienced a spectacular diplomatic disaster. America has spent decades trying to cultivate good relations with India, which could be a useful counterweight to China. Now we have a nearly complete rupture, with India actually cozying up to China. And what was that about? Apparently Trump, in his bizarre pursuit of a Nobel peace prize, tried to bully Narendra Modi, India's prime minister, into giving him undeserved credit for a cease-fire between India and Pakistan. The two men haven't talked since. And there's much more, like Trump's claim that the European Union is giving him $600 billion, which is news to the Europeans. You might say that the Trump administration is suffering from a richness of embarrassments.
