My kid asked me what Trump was up to with these tariffs.
"Crashing the economy," I said, "but I can't see why."
The simple answer is because he's an idiot, which is undeniably true. But I can't help thinking there's something even simpler behind it, like he thinks he's found a way to make himself (and Elon) richer by doing so. Since I'm not a billionaire, I don't know how that would work.
Also I'm sick*, so I'm not thinking on all cylinders. Here's what Camestros and their comment section have to say.
*I picked up a virus somewhere, which I hope isn't COVID. A cough, a sore throat, gastrointestinal issues, a fever. Plus general aches and blahness.
