Putin's TV Goons Jump for Joy at Trump's Tariff 'Buffoonery'

Russian state TV propagandists are riding the Donald Trump rollercoaster.
Moscow initially believed the American president would cave to their demands on trade and Ukraine, but that hasn’t happened the way they envisioned—despite Trump’s unprompted concessions.
While the mood in Moscow has soured, Trump’s ill-conceived decision to impose tariffs on “Liberation Day” Wednesday—Russia excluded—brought joy and delight to state television. During Thursday’s broadcast of The Evening With Vladimir Solovyov, pundits marveled at the “buffoonery” of the Trump administration’s decision to disrupt global trade and undermine the American economy.
"This is the Swan Lake; Trump is playing the Black Swan,” political scientist Dmitry Kulikov said, adding that Trump wants “to break everything” and preside over the destruction. “It looks like the end of the global system is coming, the global system that is about fifty years old.”
