Washington Post (August 26)
President Trump has recently “vacillated back and forth between praising China and harshly criticizing it, all while claiming that the trade war he initiated is going great for the United States as evidence mounts that it is pushing us toward recession.” He seems to labor “under a series of misconceptions, bred by ignorance and what appears to be a complete lack of interest in grasping how the trade war appears from China’s perspective.” It is becoming painfully obvious that “Trump is in fact the world’s worst negotiator. And the price Americans are paying for his weakness keeps getting higher.”

Washington Post (January 31)
The Post aims to correct three misconceptions about the Egyptian uprising. First, the protest is not spontaneous. The movement has been organizing since April 6. Second, radical Islamists are unlikely to assume power. Third, U.S. ability to influence the outcome is limited. That said, the Post believes the U.S., which provides $1.5 billion in annual funding to Egypt, should make future funding clearly contingent upon a democratic transition.
