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.
