Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

What could go wrong?
Musk appears largely unshackled from ethical or oversight constraints despite wielding enormous influence over the American government and despite his businesses being deeply intertwined with the U.S. national security apparatus.
Did Trump Quietly Kill a Sensitive Pentagon Probe into Elon Musk?
The New York Times revealed last year that Musk and SpaceX failed to meet federal reporting requirements for Pentagon contractors. No one has asked: What’s going on with that today?

As much as I’m not a Politico fan these days, I am a diehard #PeteButtigieg fan, so I will prop my chin on my hand and listen to him wax poetic about nearly anything.
