I can't sleep and I can't figure out the tariff plan and economy

[BigmanPigman]

I am not very knowledgeable about finance so I hope someone will dumb down a response to my question as though I were a 6 year old.

Whats the purpose of these tariffs? Why does he keep changing the deadlines and amounts? Who is advising him on these financial decisions. What is his agenda for this BS driving prices up?

I know he is has always been super shitty businessman but this takes the cake. And what about his cult/fans? They don't like this price hiking crap, which will never likely go back down again.

What is his point? His fans hate him. Everybody hates him except for the tech bros amd Putin and Kim.

I really just DO NOT GET IT!⁹

3. It's a distraction

There is a chip that Nvidia was blocked from selling to China in April. The chip was designed specifically for them to lower the national security risk - and the Felonious One still blocked it. Now he's going to get a 15% kickback for something that is illegal to sell to China.

It's a distraction from the #EpsteinFiles.

All of it is.

He will drop a nuclear bomb on himself before he will allow his rapist ass to be subject to public scrutiny.

Don Cornholeioni. He’s a mob boss and everyone kicks up to the boss.
This is not a government. The GOP is a criminal cartel.

6. Peter Navarro is his trade guy

Plan is to dismantle the federal government while raising revenue with tariffs. Probably for wealthy tax cuts. We might get a check for $600 before election day. But our society, social equity, commonwealth is gone. Forever.
