The plan can be summarized in three points:
-
Disorient the world economic order with tariffs.
-
Drop tariffs for friendly countries willing to peg their currency to the dollar and abide by certain economic and military rules.
-
Charge said countries a regular “user fee” for membership inside this new order.
Europe having their own currency and being adverse to cooperation with the US in terms of this new world order is why Trump is friendlier to Russia and why he is less friendly to Ukraine. Ukraine belongs outside this new order unless they make a “deal” with the US. I would be interested to see if Russia would be willing to peg their currency and pay a membership fee. Probably not.
There is no plan. No actual plan. What he’s trying to do doesn’t work. It’s never worked. And won’t work now.
The man is an actual moron. He’s not playing chess. He isn’t even playing checkers. He’s flinging his own shit around like a chimp. And he’s gonna pay for it because he’s broken the Golden rule of Republicans. He made rich people lose money. A lot of money. And more every day until they stop him. He’s on borrowed time now.
Guaranteed a lot of people made billions through shorting the market with insider info fed to them by the Trump team. We’re just not going to see those numbers for a few more weeks. There is absolutely a plan, regardless of how effective that plan is. Do not underestimate your opponents.
