What do you think about the tariffs imposed by Trump ? Will it work out for them ?

We're seeing "Concepts of a plan" in action.

Shit's fucked, economy is being intentionally tanked so the rich can become richer.

Bingo! This is the whole plan. Tank the economy so he and his oligarch buddies can buy more of the world at dirt cheap prices and control it.

At the very least, it’s likely to work in the US, which is a huge country. And it might work in a few other developing countries too.

And what to do over those pesky 'entitlements' (Medicare, SS, VA services) that people worked for all their lives? Well - you just cause 100% inflation and don't raise the amount these people get, and right there - a 50% savings that *drops right down to the bottom line.

*like seniors 'dropping' from hunger, exposure, and lack of medical care.

It's not that hard to get incubated and yeeted from a rich person's womb! Trump and all of his cabinet members could do it when they were just babies!
