    That’s not a fair comparison, because Trump created the tariffs. If Bernie has instituted tariffs, there would be a purpose and a plan. Trump doesn’t have a plan, or whatever his plan was it isn’t going the way he wanted. He wants the Waltons to eat the loss to make his plan look better. It has nothing to do with income inequality or wealth redistribution. It’s ego. Trump took a steamy wet shit on the carpet and he wants the rest of the world to clean it up.

        They don’t. They’ve said they really don’t. What it DOES do is increase the instability of the market, and a lot of the people behind Trump stand to profit if they can pick up the pieces after a financial collapse, just like what happened in 08, just like what happened in 2020.
