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.
