Arguments I’m seeing online are; it’s his genius plan to devalue the US dollar so it remains the world currency. When it’s devalued enough he’s use dropping tariffs as a negotiation tactic to get world wide free trade agreements.
The problem? The US dollar is already the reserve currency and there’s no competition for that role. The Euro comes closest in terms of the amount of physical money they have out there in circulation (1.5 trillion) and the US is still a trillion physical notes ahead of them (not to mention accepted as currency in places far outside of Europe)…
World reserve currency is just not a role any other currency has the reach and volume of notes to do.
Meaning Trump is just devaluing the dollar for no good reason.
Crash the market.
Have him and his billionaire friends buy back most of the market at a reduced rate.
Own most of America, be Oligarchs for life changing the political and economic system for ever.

This won’t end in 2028, and will probably still be a this way or worse in 2058 and beyond. This isn’t some minor change. It’s Trump becoming his own Putin styled leader.
Trump has always just followed his mentors plans, first Roy Cohn, now this. You’re cooked, sorry. Done for.
