Trump Created an Economic Sinkhole. He Doesn’t Care
There is no strategy behind the tariff chaos — it’s all about personal grievances and settling scores.

Such ignorance.
More than a decade ago: “In the twenty-first century the techniques of the political technologists have become centralized and systematized, coordinated out of the office of the presidential administration, where Surkov would sit behind a desk on which were phones bearing the names of all the “independent” party leaders, calling and directing them at any moment, day or night. The brilliance of this new type of authoritarianism is that instead of simply oppressing opposition, as had been the case with twentieth-century strains, it climbs inside all ideologies and movements, exploiting and rendering them absurd. One moment Surkov would fund civic forums and human rights NGOs, the next he would quietly support nationalist movements that accuse the NGOs of being tools of the West. With a flourish he sponsored lavish arts festivals for the most provocative modern artists in Moscow, then supported Orthodox fundamentalists, dressed all in black and carrying crosses, who in turn attacked the modern art exhibitions. The Kremlin’s idea is to own all forms of political discourse, to not let any independent movements develop outside of its walls. Its Moscow can feel like an oligarchy in the morning and a democracy in the afternoon, a monarchy for dinner and a totalitarian state by bedtime.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia, year 2014
And an economic downturn, especially one that Trump may have set in motion unnecessarily and single-handedly, will shape voters’ lives, work and political preferences prior to next year’s mid-term elections in the US.

Trump’s either going to be crowned forever king or booted out one way or another in the next 4 years. Do you think he really cares about voters’ lives, work and political preferences?
Melania: i don’t care, do u?
He wants to be Rorschach. He wants people to beg him to save them, so he can tell them “No.”
