There is no plan

Trump sent his cabinet to the Sunday shows to reassure, and they said the tariffs are permanent/being negotiated, strategic/across the board and will fix the trade deficit/manufacturing/national defense/toe fungus.

Collectively they made it clear there's no plan beyond one man's whims.

Trump did nothing but play golf, they went on their own because fealty to their overlord.

Back in the days of the early internet (edu/gov/mil/etc accounts), there was a “.plan” that you could edit to customize your account. One person that I knew wrote “I have no .plan, I just am”

Pretty clear from the Sunday shows. This is all Trump shooting from the hip.

He is following his plan to sow chaos and make himself the king to whom everyone has to pay tribute.

I used to think the Jake Tappers of the world were overpaid. Nope. There is no money worth humiliating myself every day taking these idiots seriously on national TV.

There might be a plan. But Trump certainly isn’t aware of it if there is.

Not that the collective tariffs are not serious business but “toe fungus”?

1. Crash the markets
2. Oligarchs, Russian and otherwise, buy in at the bottom
3. End tariffs

There is a plan. They just can't talk about it.

As a Russian operation, it makes perfect sense. This is how they break American economic hegemony for good. And they will profit from it personally, mightily.

Destruction is the plan. I imagine there's ample financial benefit that comes with that, coming any number of entities interested in precisely this sort of outcome.

I just read that China has legalized all pirating of software and knock off copies of all Us designed products that are manufactured there.

amygalford.bsky.social•34 days ago

are tariffs even in the project2025 wishlists?

annmariepisano.bsky.social•34 days ago

These are a personal Trump obsession, he genuinely loves this.

We're so fucked.

andrewjballou.bsky.social•34 days ago

The plan is tariffs. That’s the endgame. All the “reasons” are backfilled afterward.

When asked abt tariffs on random penguin islands, one admin rep scoffed & pivoted. Another, Lutnink, said it's obvsly to make sure China can't weasel around the tariffs.
Good times!

By Trump’s own standard, the House should be three impeachments in by Wednesday.

Not news …. Sorry. Got to get a dig in when I can. So now what? We got a couple billionaires who might feel some pain. It’s a start. Need to watch Walmart, Nike & Apple. See it on Marketplace

I did kind of know that, without being told. I think everyone kind of knows that, at some level of their psyche.

So, WE need to make the plan.

Hey, ho, trump has got to go.

Chanted by thousands of American citizens yesterday.

Autocracy is stupid.

Planning would get in the way of his golf game.

Kai... we know... we know.... but we await guidance. some people have only $1 million, some people have half that invested, our local financial advisors are frightened and that fear is palpable.
