I’ve seen some posts today pointing some interesting things. While Trump is terribly racist and fascist, there are white supremacists and Nazis for whom he does not go far enough. There are far-right kooks who think Trump is not far enough right. Some pointed out he is too much of a capitalist to go that far, that in looking out for his bottom line, he avoids too much extremism because he’d start losing money.
On the other hand, he seems to have no financial goal for the country. Constantly flipping tariffs on and off, switching “buckets.” Making propositions that any businessman would know is completely unrealistic. He has no idea how to be a capitalist either, it seems! So is he completely directionless? He just kinda goes wherever feels good to him at the moment? Is he possibly in some kind of cognitive decline, unable to make reasonable decisions, but since his base worships him no one can take the reins from him?
Thanks, I dunno if it was particularly useful, I think I got swept up in the early drama and it took me a minute to notice that a lot of what is happening -especially in the stock market - is mostly some cheap theatrics. This is having an accelerating effect on trends that are already in motion but the timelines are still long and I’m not sure this is going to be The Big One all the talking heads are nattering about.
