you misunderstand. he is TRYING to cut off the USA from the rest of the world, bankrupt the treasury, and destroy our alliances. essentially ending our rein as a world power.

could you imagine anyone being more efficient than what he says he is going to do?

And he's doing it to rousing cheers from the stupidest people on the planet - my fellow citizens who voted for him, and the arguably stupider people who refused to vote because... reasons.

Why? What would he gain? I’ve seen reports on crashing the economy so the elites can grab cheap real estate. Is there any other reasons?

Kinda like that “The Simpsons” episode when Lisa becomes the first woman president, and she literally has to repair America because the country is broke.

Not true, Him and Elon are very smart. These other countries are trying to get out of the USD. Well now he is forcing them to comply or literally walk the Plank in the middle of the ocean. But but crypto. AHhh yes, which is why the U.S. has locked it down so any country who buys into bitcoin inflating the U.S. even more.

Also the U.S. own the AI chip race. Any country who doesn’t comply will never get another chip again. The U.S. can’t lose and honestly its a smart move. If you import junk online and try to sell it for 100x the cost you bought it, ya you are screwed lol
