  • I don’t think we can be sure, no. But it’s a very safe bet that the Kremlin is giving the majority of the orders that suit them. The problem with Trump being so dumb is normally you’d look at guile and such to find a direction. But everyone around him knows how easy it is to manipulate him. Whoever gets in his ear last, whoever promises the most to him (whether that comes to pass or not), they’re all also factors. But these plans while insane and stupid to almost everyone, have not been created by him. They’re too involved for that.


  • Why not assume at this point that breaking the entire system is the purpose? Winning a trade war would benefit Trump’s ego, but the people pulling the strings want it all burned down. Just because the media keeps playing this as traditional economics and politics doesn’t mean it remotely is.

    Everyone gets what you’re saying. It’s not a difficult concept. What they’re trying to tell you is that the symbolism is more important than the value of some cars. The symbolism is destroying an entire company. The Tesla car brand is likely permanently toxic. He’s the richest man in the world. Do you honestly think people think that destroying some cars will bankrupt him? He can afford an entire navy. They’re saying that taking away sources of wealth (mostly inflated) will hit him where it hurts. In his fragile man baby ego.
