Trump’s not even playing checkers, let alone chess. The tariffs are a dumb Navarro idea that Trump only endorsed because he is actually capable of understanding how a mob “protection racket” works. He saw it in a movie and loves the idea.
Just, I agree that it is definitely political and a power play. I disagree that it won’t have profound economic consequences if he continues and since people always vote their pocketbooks, not only Dems and Independents will vote against him and his party, but some MAGA’s will vote against him too, assuming we have 2026 elections, and that is a whole other topic.
