This is exactly right. Think about it like a mob boss running a protection racket, but on a global scale. Create chaos, weaken the economy, make businesses desperate, then offer “relief” if they fall in line. The tariffs aren’t economic policy - they’re a weapon. And whether by design or manipulation, Trump is using them to make America weaker and more dependent on him - just like a good doggy would.
