The point isn't the US economy. The point is stockmarket manipulation to get Trump and his friends more money.

That's literally the only reason.

I believe he is also expecting bribes from countries and companies to reduce the tarriffs

I don't know. People give him a lot of credit. I think he's just really really stupid and "tarriffs" is just the new word he picked up. Suddenly it's all tarriffs.

I would have thought so too but there is video footage of him saying that he likes a tanked economy so that he can buy it all up. He was also found tweeting hours before an announcement as a dog whistle for his buddies to buy up certain stock before the bounce back. It seems quite blatant to me.

Whatever their chosen idol does is good and correct, regardless of how many times their idol changes their mind.

Anything else would be admitting they might not have been correct, and that's not an option for these people.
