I'm sure there will be many other justifications offered, in rapid succession. But it's wild to be heading into a self-induced recession behind more or less this reasoning.

At this point I almost think he’s egging on the world to attack us so he can escalate into military conflict. Getting us into a pew pew war seems to be the goal and long enough is probably gonna do it.
If Trump uses the Insurrection Act, … Political strategist Anat Shenkar-Osorio has defined three strategies for public pressure in these times: refusal, resistance and ridicule.
No, this kind of makes sense. And it has a certain bravery and panache about it. Whatever they're doing, it's not as cool as saying a C+ action movie line and kicking your brother in the nuts.
I'm very curious what people like Elon thought would happen. Back in October he made statements pretty clearly stating the US would be in for pain, but obviously he seems unhappy with some of the tariffs now that he's feuding with Navarro.
Just a bunch of ghouls and morons running the show
I should clarify: in pain when Trump wins. Was this referring to all the government cuts, social security etc? Or was any of this on the non project 2025 team radar
I kind of doubt tariffs were part of Musk's agenda. Hard to build cars to a global market with a trade war going on. However, his level of magic thinking means it is possible he saw the entire world coming to heel & thanking them for the privilege of being tariffed.
Oh totally agree, my question was probably rhetorical, but I think this highlights the age old problem of Democrats coming in with wonky plans, but GOP (esp trump) getting away with easier to grasp but vague BS, waving away concerns like "all your advisors are tied to this project 2025 thing"
Except in America’s case it would be like the guy walking into the class and repeatedly punching himself in the dick over and over while the rest of the class points and laughs
