    I have few hypothesis:

    1. They know what they are doing, and the goal of current actions is to make rich americans even richer (at the cost of whole other world). Because any kind of crisis causes the same thing: poor gets poorer, rich gets richer (with some level of shuffling in place).
    2. They are approaching things using the “startup approach”, using the Zucks motto “move fast and break things”, without taking a second to think things through.
    3. They truly believe that those things will make it better (which I strongly disagree with, because things will get better only after any of those tariffs are lifted, regardless if it happens after the current market storm stabilizes or before)

    Neither option has anything good about it, though I am not sure if it makes sense to speculate about reasoning anyways: both hypothesis give mostly similar “next steps” predictions. My take is that next steps will be advancing even more towards “america only”, either by NATO speculation (which have already started), or by getting closer with the russian regime, or anything else.

      " or by getting closer with the russian regime, or anything else"

      You know what counties are not on tariffs list? Russia, North Korea, Iran and I believe also Belarus and Hungary.

      do you want to guess what they have in common?

        Yeah, the line of Trump politics was kind of obvious from the beginning, unfortunately. Sadly majority of US voters did not see it through before, and continue “not looking up” :'(
