Yeah but you need to have some sort of industrial policy in place as well - to build infrastructure and subsidize onshoring. He’s doing the opposite. He even cancelled the CHIPS Act, which was aimed at onshoring semiconductor production. No company is going to open manufacturing facilities in the US under this enormous economic volatility and without any government help to get started.
He’s an abject fucking moron who, I’m convinced, is trying to reset wages and create a class of low paid wage slaves while funeling huge amounts of money to the wealthy. He’s certainly going to cause stagflation and astronomical wealth inequality. If he succeeds fucking with interest rates he may cause hyperinflation. If the US loses global reserve currency status, they are proper fucked.
At this point, it can only end one way. Even if he’s out of the picture, the damage he’s done will last for a generation at least. He may have already torpedoed US economic superpower status.
