      Is Trump willing to sacrifice the economy over a fair tax?

      Trump is senile and has no grasp on reality.

        I have a new theory. He thinks that 100% tariff means the EU can’t sell anything to the US. It makes more sense than if he understood what a tariff is.

          He doesn’t understand still. With an economics degree from an ivy league university.

            Ohhhh, you think he earned that by passing courses? I suspect someone ghost-wrote his assignments and exams.

      No, he has no idea what’s going on.

      He’s willing to sacrifice the US economy over a perceived slight against his property though.

        This. An (aspiring) dictator doesn’t care so much about the interests of the country as much as about concentrating power. For every crisis that affects the elites, they will recalculate their risks and seek protection wherever they can find it. And it often is close to the dictator that caused the crisis.

      He’s willing to burn the USA to the ground over insider trading. This stunt too will cost the US economy dearly but earn the Trump family a nice sum so he doesn‘t care.
