A gang of crooks.
I suspect this has been his tactis in the past, deliberately causing wild swings in markets, particular stocks, or memecoins to profit.
I really thought that's what it must be this time.
Because _surely_ even he isn't stupid enough to actually do tariffs?!
But he is.
But thinking of the likes of Trump, Putin in terms of their intelligence or rationality doesn’t ever seem to pay off.
I genuinely don’t think he’s stupid. Or at least, I’ve yet to hear anything where the problem didn’t seem to be malice or the art of the con.
But this is next level, nearly on par with his crypto grifting.
