Step one, tell rich friends and donors the plan.

Step two, use tariffs to crash the market.

Step three, rich people buy.

Step four, negotiate bullshit trade deals nearly identical to those pre-tariff.

Step four, remove tariffs, market booms, tell supporters he won.

Does it work when everyone knows though? Like, I sold over half of my positions a few weeks ago and am sitting on more cash than I've had in years. If everything drops, I'm just going to buy a ton more than I used to have as well...
