That shows clearly that these tariffs are there to distract (yes it they hurt Americans, Canadians and Mexicans, but he doesn't care) to make media stop talking about Ukraine.

And ukraine is there to distract from tax cuts, and tax cuts and there to distract from the lost of medicare and the lost of medicare is there to distract from them stealing everything, etc etc

maybe, just maybe, they are just dumb and evil

There's still a difference between the severity of some of these things.

With the right leadership America could undo tariffs or the anti-DEI stuff or even drastically redistribute that stolen wealth with the stroke of a pen. The damage to America's alliances could be repaired over time, especially if they show broad commitment to reforming. These things suck and will hurt but are fixable.

You can't sign a piece of paper to unfuck Ukraine, or restore gutted institutional knowledge or depose hereditary president-for-life Trump Jr.

Sony forget that the tax cuts actually increase taxes for most working class Americans by $3k a year.

I'm betting on more evil than dumb but I can be incredibly wrong.

Trump is dumb. Thiel, Miller, and Yarvin are evil.

It is all to distract from the dismantling of any apparatus that could block his next attempt to stay in power forever.

This is all misdirection.
