Also: leave tariffs on raw materials in place, making local production even less competitive than before.

I would be shocked if the plan wasn't just "Let's destroy everything Biden did no matter what"

Is he just jerking the economy around while his buddies buy low and sell high?

I honestly wasn't paying much attention to it because it was largely a pointless effort in the first place.

That's not really accurate, it has had quite some consequences

Trump is causing political turmoil for economic gain. It’s some old fat guy literally shoving piles of cash in his pockets as he walks thru Fort Knox (except it’s crypto and stock manipulation). There’s no brain at the helm. No master plan. No big reveal. He’s going to cause a public spectacle to distract from it, but he’s just siphoning the cash of the lower class and the stupid.

That’s it. Pretty anticlimactic.

This should read: Get elected to make money. Be the puppet that the oligarchs bought with that money. Sabotage the economy to benefit them only to realize you've sabotaged it too hard and they start yanking your lead to correct your stupidity.

Almost like he's intentionally subverting the Chips Act...

Who knew that memes could offer apt economic and political commentary
