Rich people will still come out even better after all of this. Tanking the economy will allow them to buy up more and more land, homes, and other assets that working class folks Will no longer be able to afford

I believe the same thing. I'm positive Trump is tanking it on purpose so he and his rich worshippers can grab all the stocks they want as others sell them off. Then he'll do a policy change that will make other want to buy, buy, buy. At which point he's a trillionaire.

I don't think so, that's too long term and Trump won't last that long. I don't think he'd give a shit about his "friends" or family past his life.

I can't quite figure it out because it doesn't make much sense with Russian orders either, but that seems more likely perhaps?

It very well just could be raw ego and he thinks he knows best.

It won't need to be that long term. Those people who worship him have very very short term memories. Goldfish mentality.

You are 100% right about the raw ego bit.
