I think he's inept, stupid, and doesn't have a plan or idea about what he's doing. Tariffs, eg, are the polar opposite of what he claims.
His puppeteers, however? They're just letting him run wild, destroying everything he touches, because they have the wherewithall to withstand the damage.
And they are all making $$$. Insiders make out like crazy when the economy crashes, buy the low and hold. Open a for-profit prison. Get shady government contracts. Get the President to do a commercial for your cars in front of the White House. And on and on.
That is true as long as there is a rebound though. Why would there be a return to normal after this?
It makes sense that they're prone to the falacy of expecting things to carry on happenning mostly as they've happenned in their lifetimes, same as everybody else.
That being so, it makes sense that they are certain that there will be a rebound "because it's always what has happenned after a crash".
Or, if you want an historical reference, the Monarchy in France right up to the French Revolution never expected than no matter how much they exploited the rest, they themselves would end up on guillotines.
They don't want a return to normal, they want a return to feudal slavery. The financial warfare is just a means to that end until the point where money doesn't matter anymore.
What stocks do I invest in? I want to profit off the demise of USA as well.
European weapons manufacturers
Oh I like that!
Invest in bullets
You think Trump cares about all these things enough to run around destroying everything? His train of thought chugs for a second, sputters and switches lines. He's obviously being fed things to be upset about and talking points, then an executive order is put in front of him to sign. He's not writing these orders.
Maybe he claims BS on purpose 🤓
