The Tariffs And The Narratives
Huge tariffs exist on US goods.
Trump introduces reciprocal tariffs.
“He’s a madman! Why is doing tariffs! Trump is insane! The stock market is down 10 points!”
Trump holds firm. 75 countries either back down and beg to negotiate or back down and scrap all tariffs on US goods. Trump has successfully isolated China and forced a major renegotiation of trade tariffs unfair to the US by other countries. At the same time US companies rush to bring jobs home. Investment in the US soars.
Trump pauses tariffs for negotiations. The stock market bounces back 10 points. And Trump has everyone ready to do a better deal while China is left with massive tariffs.
It’s a swift realignment of the entire global trade network, beneficial to the US.
“Haha, Trump blinks! Trump has backed down! He’s weak!”
The level of understanding from 99% of people, who are incapable of comprehending anything thanks to the mainstream media and the total stupidity of the economic consensus for the last 80 years….well, you might as well ask a toilet bowl to explain things to you.
Trump and many other MAGA figures operate on a completely different level to the mainstream NPCs with their programmed 80 year devotion to failed systems, failed institutions and the failed economic theories of an expert class who carefully managed their way to creating a Chinese monster ready to devour them while turning their own countries into increasingly backwards indebted hellholes.
The tariffs are the other side of DOGE. It’s a massive attempt to reform the entire global system before it’s too late. DOGE identifies the waste and corruption within, which has a global effect funding madness and war elsewhere. That is all money that is being stolen from the US taxpayer and artificially tipping the world towards insane, non productive, self harming ideologies. The tariffs do the same thing with the global economic system, identifying the injustices that harm the US and seeking to stop massive waste and massive systemic disadvantage.
At the same time they address the elephant in the room, Chinese power, Chinese expansion and dependency on Chinese manufacturing.
In both economics and foreign policy it’s recognised that business as usual eventually, possibly quite soon, will reach a gigantic US crash when the debt just can’t be met anymore, and that Chinese modern colonialism could reach to the US in those circumstances (some would say if you look at Canada or some US institutions it already has reached North America, but it would become much more obvious with a bankrupt US).
Trump has already got China dependent nations to recognise that they are more dependent on the US. He’s already got China isolated in a way that is quicker and much more effective than the failed attempt to isolate a much weaker Russia was.
And mainstream media are all “he blinked!”. With many people, especially those on the Right who still abide by the useless magical fetishes of the 1945 settlement, believing it.
