I’m legit wondering who even profits from Trump’s politics?
If regular people are getting fucked and billionaires lose wealth and the stock market tanks, who comes out on top?
Apart from the European military industrial complex?
I’ve been wondering the same about a lot of right wing economic policy. Why push for policy that is a net negative for everyone in the long run? I have since realized that it does make sense if you don’t look at it in terms of wealth, but rather in terms of power. The control you have over other people doesn’t depend on your absolute wealth, but rather the relative wealth you have compared to others, and so for someone looking for that kind of power (i.e. most billionaires as far as I can tell) it wouldn’t matter if something they do hurts everybody, as long as it hurts you more than it hurts them.
The on again, off again tariffs are a great way for Trump to exploit insider trading for his own benefit. I have not seen a single journalist cotton on and most of the Left are circle-jerking about him being stupid. He is evil.
By making it impossibile for the state to run, so that private companies will step in and charge people for stuff.
That and destroying small and medium enterprises allowing companies to buy on the cheap
The people with real money and power are taking huge gains. They are and will not suffer losses, other than temporary, strategic losses. This is prestidigitation. We’re focused on exactly what they want us to see, not what’s happening while we continue to be entertained by side shows.

Trump and Putin seem to like each other.
