As Trump is gonna put his insane tariffs in place, what do you guys think is the goal here? Because I fear that he is playing 4D chess but making it look like he is playing checkers, and if his tariffs are out into place it’ll undoubtedly anger and radicalise lots of Americans especially, and just cause a general shitshow for approval ratings and threaten the domestic safety of capital. Thoughts?
I’m treating it all as an unknowable black box for now. Trump himself isn’t a rocket surgeon, and I hardly know the people around him, never mind what their internal thoughts & motivations are or how much influence each has on him.
Edit to add that Wolff & Hudson haven’t managed to crack this case yet, either, except to say that these are internal & external contradictions playing out among & against various factions.
