    I mean it’s not dumb if the goal is weakening the US. Which is what Putin likely ordered.

      This. People keep talking about Trump’s actions like he’s a screaming child let loose in a candy shop but his actions have been calculated, swift, decisive, and effective. In a matter of days he has put the US into the weakest position it has been in decades. This was planned.

        Planned by people other than Trump. He is good with it because he is a piece of shit, but he is just a puppet.

      Or if you want to create another veritable feast for the oligarchs. Our suffering is their discounts.

        It’s really annoying seeing the major news outlets now put up articles about how egg prices aren’t the presidents fault and tariffs are really going to suck when I’ve been saying it for the past 6 months. They spent so much effort sucking up to trump only now to tell us he sucks?
