I don't see anyone asking Trump, on, camera, "Exactly who are the tariffs helping? Because everyone we've talked to says they are destructive and costly."

10-Billion bailout!
Trump disrupts agriculture with a pointless tariff war then March 18 announces 10-billion-dollar bailout.

The oligarchs' ultimate goals are to destroy government services, and then privatize those services. Religious schools, private jails, and package delivery are just the beginning, as they'll move on to mercenaries,toll roads, and more.
