Trump keeps shifting the goalpost, like Calvin, when it comes to using tariffs as his trump card.
US president Donald Trump’s mercurial behaviour reminds one of a boy named Calvin in a classic comic strip, Calvin and Hobbes, by Bill Watterson. When Calvin looks at a tiger called Hobbes, the boy sees a real tiger while everyone else sees Hobbes as a toy.
Calvin forms a club called “Get Rid of Slimy Girls”, and his main purpose is to exclude his neighbour Susie Derkins from the treehouse. However, when he is forced to let others in, Calvin chooses to move the treehouse.
