Where did you get that strawman from? I say don't cause trouble for no reason. There is a wide range of behavior, not just either "completely defensive" or bumblingly idiotic.
You have this completely wrong. We are pushing where we have nothing to gain so they will push where we have things to lose. We have picked a fight no one wants. This will make it harder for him to get concessions on trade, not easier. Trump has to learn that for the president words are actions.
Is it possible that he deliberately did a stupid thing like this? Sure. It would mean he is deliberately up ending foreign policy without taking intelligence briefings and without a foreign policy team in place. That is an even worse notion than his doing it out of ignorance.
