    It’s just so stupid too, America had won world trade, in so much as there is an actual winning. No one is actually winning from this, oligarchs are changing their power from near absolute control over the globe, to absolute control over a sinking empire. Like good job guys…

      Trump and his team over-corrected (can that word even be applied considering the results?) with trying to re-shore jobs to America to appease his base. But even his base are now also pissed off!

      Edit: I should also add, that Trump fascism with Project 2025 are trying to export their ideological brand to other places. They especially have an axe to grind with the EU’s "over-regulation’, which is why Trump and his administration are basically telling France to be more racist, and telling the EU to accept US’ chlorinated chickens, or stop trading with the US’ entirely.

        That’s the thing, even if that was their goal there was a path through existing structures for that. The CHIPS act was designed to onshore technological manufacturing, CHIPS sucks as it’s more trickle down bullshit, but it accomplishes the goal within the American hegemonic project. They had the plan to continue to transfer wealth to the rich under existing structures and still onshore manufacturing.

        I’m honestly not even sure trump is a Russian plant anymore, their decisions are just so stupid. America relinquishes it’s role of world police and Europe is forced to create a unified military to counter Russia, how does that help them in anyway?

        There is no plan, no one ultimately benefits, it’s just short sighted idiocy…

          Maybe insider trading is what Trump is trying to do. But even then, this is the most incompetent fascism I have seen thus far. Hitler and Mussolini were not even this stupid and ruderless.
