President Donald Trump has started unnecessary, unwise trade wars with China, Canada, Mexico and the European Union. This is not, and will not be good, for Americans.

He has described a group of American allies — The European Union — as a “foe.”

President Trump has not found any trade problems with Russia. Reportedly, Trump Enterprises has borrowed a lot of Russian money.

Mr. Trump’s performance in Helsinki speaks for itself.

Russia has committed a form of electronic aggression against the United States. Mr. Trump has invited Mr. Putin to the White House for more friendly — if secret — chats.
