There are two aspects to this story. One is that Trump really is melting down at the first hint of adversity. The other is that this kind of behavior is arguably more damaging than straightforward protectionism 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

The point is that while a stable protectionist regime makes an economy inefficient, it doesn't necessarily make it depressed. Fewer jobs in export industries, but more jobs in import-competing industries 3/ — PolitiTweet.org
