Anyone got a read on what the Trumpsta's angle is with all these tariffs? Feels like the U.S. is intentionally isolating itself, creating a power vacuum for China or others to step in. Is the U.S. just broke? Running out of options? Or is it pure ego—thinking all innovation starts and ends in America, and the rest of the world’s just along for the ride? Or maybe there’s a 4D chess play to destabilize global markets and reshuffle the deck?

Interesting quantity of the word “idiot” in the replies.
