    *Textbook economic collapse.

    Literally exactly what all economic textbooks say would happen if you did what he did.

    Which is why I think it was all on purpose. They are driving the market up and down predictably. Stocks keep surging every time there is a “leaked” rumor that he will pause tariffs.

      the grift that keeps on grifting…

      a small number of wealthy Americans riled up a large number of poor Americans, using single-issue voter tactics that prey on irrational fears, and gained control of more wealth and decision-making power than they know what to do with.

      I can’t fathom what the point is, other than some doomsday scheme, where they plot to outlive us poors with hoarded resources, and the remaining bootlicker class as slaves.

        I think Trump himself just likes to be in the spotlight and also evade prison.

        As for his backers, they want the collapse of the US (and nation states in general) to found company town-esque technocratic city states.
