The 'rumor' is that they want to purposefully trash the stock market and while things are down/cheap, entities loyal to him will buy up a bunch of shit, and then they have some 'plan' to revive the economy at a later date, with appropriate excuses etc... allowing them (deep state? I dunno) to reap billion$ when stock values go back up.

Not my theory, just some shit I saw floating around.

Nah. You know him.

He just makes threats and then people run to give him gifts to stop him from doing something he wasn't going to do anyway.

Why do any work when a simple threat can get you more?

Many countries are trying to decoupled from America in many aspect, and they have been trying to do that for a while now. why would so many countries turn to china or becoming a bit more isolationist? I mean look at American politics.

Imagine seeing your coworkers quiting because you are fucking unhinged and then yelling after them "you are all fired!". Dude, they are already gonna quit

Not gonna lie, doesn't matter who the president is or what party. Moving away from the US dollar is something the US WILL go to war over.

Yep. They want to cause panic selling for the 90% who will need to sell off assets and stocks at a loss just to survive, meanwhile the billionaire class swoops in to once again transfer even more wealth to the top. The giant sucking sound that you’ve heard in the background your entire life is now on turbo boost.

You're assuming these countries would risk 100% tariffs—they won't. The tariffs are a strategic threat to keep BRICS nations on the dollar, and it's a threat that will probably work. As a result, BRICS nations are unlikely to move away from the dollar before 2028. This means the threatened tariffs won't crash the economy because they won't actually be implemented.
