You get a tariff! You get a tariff and you get a tariff. Honestly I think we put down a lot of Trumps motivations down to malice and avarice. When in reality it’s ignorance. I think Trump honestly thinks and believes that other countries have to pay to access our markets. That they have to pay to “stay in our hotel” to use our services. I think he doesn’t actually know how the economy works. Now if he coincidentally gets a good backend commission or looks strong when people bend the knee, he is all for that. However end of the day I think the corruption is incidental, a positive off spin, of his utter stupidity. As nations call his bluff and the economy weakens he will continue to lash out in emotion and rage. He can’t admit he’s wrong, his psychopathy won’t let him. So he will continue to fight reality in a blind rage until he is stopped.
