I have the feeling that the whole trade war starts from a pile of nonsense.

Correct. He is no where as stupid as many think.

Not stupid, but acting childishly and selfishly. Not necessarily the same thing. I agree ridiculing isn't a good tactic, although it appears to be one of Trumps favourite tactics.

Trump disliked John McCain and during his recent visit to Japan he was to visit the USS JohnMcCain. The name of the ship was covered with a tarp and the sailors were given leave so that ship's name on their head cover would not be visible.

This is the kind of things that the American Government is most concerned about. I wish there was a little more maturity in sight.

It was made by ordinary citicens that have no say in anything and feel powerless so all they are left with is to ridicule him. They wanted to fly that baloon at a height which in london counts as airspace because it is heavily restricted and they were denied permission.

Umm so far if CNN is to be trusted the balloon is granted airspace for the 2019 visit...?

Acting childish elicits the same concern as being stupid: "are there any adult supervision?"

that article does not seem to be clear on anything about the baloon. The original promise was to fly this at height so that it can be seen from quite far away. The photoshoped photo in the funraising campaign was unrealistic. i think airspace in london starts at something quite low like 30m so it will either be tethered to the ground or allowed to go to about 100m tops either by the rules of airspace or common safety sense.
