He’s tanking the economy because he has no reason not to. He doesn’t think he’ll need public opinion because he doesn’t think there will be another election
They’re going full on techno-dictatorship or whatever the fuck yarvin and those punks call it
This isn’t chess. He’s not doing (this) shitty thing to cause (that) questionably good thing
This is taking everything they can out of this government, economy and failed experiment called the United States before none of it is left
And this isn’t me being paranoid
There is literally no other explanation

Know this about Trump: he needs the adoration his father never gave him from strong men. He needs the adoration the public has fed him because he is a narcissist. He has always sought the respect of the Wall Street NY class and never gotten it, but the tech bros are filling that void.
Populism (but only for the angry group rabid enough for demagoguery), authoritarianism, deferral to the new billionaires. Those are the only things that matter. The S&P could drop 50% and he would truly believe it was Biden or Obama or globalists or dog-whistle X and not him. He would believe it to his core.

It’s not conspiratorial, they even wrote it down in a manifesto (Project 2025)

lol I’m not even American, I’m Canadian but this is so silly.
Trump imposed tariffs during his first term and role them back after a few months.
He’s just trying to get favourable deals and he will drop the tariffs as soon as he gets them.
All the evidence you need is the fact that he keeps pushing them back. If what you say is true then please explain why he isn’t just implementing them immediately?
I bet all tariffs are lifted on the eve of April 2nd.
