Trump sanewashers were always craven but now stand exposed as outright fools. There is no theory of trade policy, or school of foreign policy, that can support this imbecilic administration. It's just a cult.

“In one of her first moves as A.G., Bondi issued a directive calling for the career workforce to put aside any personal misgivings and bring “zealous advocacy” to the Trump administration.” This is what a fascist regime acts like. https://apple.news/AjWEN_GgQRGCqZW7NRsaasQ @americansunlight.org @americanbar.org
And there is a 100% chance that ANYONE who voted for Trump, no matter their level of education or socioeconomic positon, DOES NOT understand the direness of the situation in the U.S. Indeed, the broad-based apparent failure of imagination for how bad things can get in America is stunning.
The Trump 2.0 follows the authoritarian trade policy playbook pretty well so far. Authoritarianism is not a cult! Trump and his acolytes are just doing what so many have done before them. Some do it for power, some for ideology and others for money. Some for all 3!
The megalomaniac billionaires thought he'd free them of any meaningful regulation or taxation which was just dandy, but not exactly a crowd pleaser, so their minions had to dress it up as something more coherent and less venal. Unfortunately I fear this imbecility hasn't reached its nadir.
