I think he’s inept, stupid, and doesn’t have a plan or idea about what he’s doing. Tariffs, eg, are the polar opposite of what he claims.
His puppeteers, however? They’re just letting him run wild, destroying everything he touches, because they have the wherewithall to withstand the damage.
And they are all making $$$. Insiders make out like crazy when the economy crashes, buy the low and hold. Open a for-profit prison. Get shady government contracts. Get the President to do a commercial for your cars in front of the White House. And on and on.
It makes sense that they’re prone to the falacy of expecting things to carry on happenning mostly as they’ve happenned in their lifetimes, same as everybody else.
That being so, it makes sense that they are certain that there will be a rebound “because it’s always what has happenned after a crash”.
Or, if you want an historical reference, the Monarchy in France right up to the French Revolution never expected than no matter how much they exploited the rest, they themselves would end up on guillotines.
They don’t want a return to normal, they want a return to feudal slavery. The financial warfare is just a means to that end until the point where money doesn’t matter anymore.
You think Trump cares about all these things enough to run around destroying everything? His train of thought chugs for a second, sputters and switches lines. He’s obviously being fed things to be upset about and talking points, then an executive order is put in front of him to sign. He’s not writing these orders.

Hard disagree on this one. Your example is the perfect illustration- he doesn’t engage with reality on tariffs, he’s painted a picture for people on how amazing they are that even genuine tariff advocates never would.
He had some of the best resources available to him and has probably been told many times about the reality. The language he uses intentionally misleads, and literally no honest tariff advocate would talk about it being a reliable revenue source like he does, the intention is for it to be sufficiently disruptive that over time it will cause imports to drop. He also made people think that the other country pays the tax which is easily disproven if you do even the most basic research into how they work. Being a “tax on a foreign country” is such an obvious lie that it would take an inhuman amount of charitability to ever thing he is being genuine.
He knows exactly what he’s doing- targetting the lowest common denominator with lies.
Oh, the puppeteers will have him under the proverbial bus the moment things turn back on them. Mr Trump has an inherent unlikableness about him that will work well for people needing a scapegoat. Once a win is achieved or a loss is unavoidable, he’ll be hung out to dry in a microsecond.
And that’s sad. The mean things we do is a reflection on us and not the victim.

Maybe he claims BS on purpose 🤓

That is true as long as there is a rebound though. Why would there be a return to normal after this?

What stocks do I invest in? I want to profit off the demise of USA as well.
European weapons manufacturers
Oh I like that!
Private prisons (The GEO Group and CoreCivic), and any of many security companies that deal with government contracts are probably a good start.
Invest in bullets
