Some people think it’s a category mistake even to address Donald Trump’s trade policy as an actual thing rather than a mess of prejudices and contradictions, and that for other governments to employ logic and game theory in engaging with it is like trying to play chess with an angry rhino. They may have a point. It’s not a thing of clarity and beauty. Still, if the Republican candidate does get elected, his policy positions will at least delineate the landscape for his administration’s internal battles.
有些人認為,即使將唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)的貿易政策視為一件真實的事情,而不是一團偏見和矛盾的混亂,也是一種類別錯誤。其他國家的政府試圖用邏輯和博弈論來應對,就像試圖與一頭憤怒的犀牛下棋一樣。他們可能有道理。這并不是一件清晰而美好的事情。不過,如果這位共和黨候選人真的當選,他的政策立場至少會為其政府內部的斗爭描繪出一個圖景。
