Once you get your head around him wanting a legacy and to be the richest man in the world, things fall into place.
He's willing to bet everyone else's livelihood on a 5% chance he becomes the hero that upends trade vs 95% chance of imploding the global economy and being able to pick up cheap assets.

2016-2020 was a test run. Many didn't have the capacity to stop themselves doing it then. Mainstream media learned nothing except what Social media taught it: It's easier to straddle both sides and reap the outrage cash than do journalism. Right now we're exactly where we expected to be.
