It's a prelude to war. Tank an economic hit now so he can stop relying on trade with countries that he'll either be at war with or can sanction him later.
1.) His diehard base are mostly in devastated former industrial sectors. These people don’t benefit from the modern “city lib” economy (except for being a nanny state burdened upon financially productive blue states). But let’s be real, these people aren’t putting two and two together. As long as Trump promises to bring industry back, and shows he’s “trying”, they will remain diehard.
2.) Digital free banking. Trump and his cronies fanboy all over 1800’s American free banking. They want to bring back free banking but they want to digitize it. They also want to make crypto USD & allow banks to mint their own bank-institutionalized crypto currencies. They want to make the world reliant on digital USD as Fiat petrodollar USD loses its luster.
3.) Self-enrichment for insiders. I can only imagine the number of puts and shorts these fuckers placed on the stock market. After liquidating at the top, of course. They’re cashing out all the way down. On top of his trillions in proposed tax cuts for the rich. Then as it bottoms out they’ll gobble up every fucking asset with their dragon horde.
4.) Shadow alignment with Russia. It’s not just about Trump being an agent or Trump/Putin being friends. The western world won’t tolerate a lawless US. Russia will. If Republicans can cement indefinite power and are willing to turn a blind eye to Russia’s wrongdoings. Russia will do the same for America. A shitfest of crony oligarch quid pro quo. It’ll start gradually with easing sanctions, increasing trade, and eventually a formal announcement of partnership and open/warm relations between the two nations.
5.) Preparing for war, like the other user said.
6.) Using tariffs as a negotiating tool to bring Western nations to the table. Trump wants to replace Breton Woods with the Mar-a-Lago Accord. He wants green nations to inflate their currency above USD, and he wants them to pay for military protection. In exchange he gives tariff relief. In short, he wants the western world to sign on as vassal states of America.
It’s a sad state of affairs that best case he’s exploding economy for blatant corruption. But idk. It’s a safe bet he will do the worst possible thing at every cross roads
He starts a war with China to stay in power, which the US will loose.
Imma stop u right there both countries have nukes both will use nukes in direct war, which means both countries will lose (when every nuclear power launches theirs too) as will the rest of the world as Armageddon comes and nuclear fallout swallows those of us that survived the expllsions and shockwaves.
Warmongering is just as unrealistic as fearmongering war between nuclear powers & military allies. Pls stop pretending nucleear bombs dont exist, ty.
He wants to secure the whole continent. That's why he talked about Canada, Mexico, Panama channel and Greenland. Si vis pacem, para bellum (If you want peace, prepare for war). I don't think he wants to occupy those countries. He wants to have strong, reliable and controlled allies.
