While I'm sure the end result will be worse for us in a lot of other ways, one thing i found oddly positive is how his stupid decisions are going to fuck things up:

Most absurdly, given the priorities of Trump’s AI Action Plan, that tariff approach would cost the US about $90 billion annually in GDP losses and cause about 20 percent of data center projects planned through 2030 to be delayed or canceled

    Trump is literally demented but the ghouls around him are not.

    The plan is plainly obvious.

    The big guys will bribe him and get exceptions which means their competition who can't pay are at a detriment.

    Trump gets bribes.

    They both juice the market knowing the above.
