      Normally Trump does what’s best for the ultra wealthy, but de-dollarization of the world economy appears to be good for nobody in the USA. I have no clue what they’re trying to do, I suspect he’s just lost it and there’s nobody left to tell him these tariffs hurt his croneys too.

      At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re already too far along to save the dollar’s position globally. Globally that’s probably a good thing, but for any of us in the US it’s decidely not.

          I think it’s more to the point to say he’s trying to destroy America, period.

          It’s what Putin has been using his puppet for this whole time.

          America falls apart, Russia gains.

        As confusing as it is this does still all fit into Theil’s plan to isolate the US in order to create a corpo-fascist state and bring back apartheid.

        with this move they seem to want to stop the rich from paying taxes and replace them with tariffs. the poor will end up paying them.

        he hinted at it a few times. to be clear, i think its still dumb as fuck but here it is.

      If it doesn’t, the rich will still be fine. Unlike most Americans, they can diversify outside of the US.
