An entirely predictable response from this twithole. He always, always digs in. He will double, triple, quadruple, etc, down, never admitting he's wrong or that he made a mistake. He's as predictable as a sunrise. This is our fate folks. We're in this until this bully realizes he can't win and make China submit to his crazy whims, at least as long as he holds his current office. He still thinks he's dealing with some construction union/contractor from NYC. And as long as the pubbies control the Senate, don't expect much more than "concern" and hand wringing, but if they did protest, would he even listen? His record for that so far has been 'iffy' at best. I mean, this would be a direct challenge to his authority! (And I have no faith at all in them forcing him to do the right thing - unless it directly affected their re-election prospects. And given the current Red state zaniness & political nihilism, do you really want to make that bet?)

Given that the man is completely off his rocker and a total idjit ('da cheez done slid off his cracker' per one commenter), not to mention a coward, this probably means never, or until this whole thing collapses around us in complete economic chaos. His psychosis & narcissism won't allow him do anything else. He always has to be seen as "winning". He'll take the whole world economy down so long as he "wins"!
