Paul Krugman making the point here that the tariffs Trump says other countries are imposing on the US are entirely fabricated. Does anyone know how he calculated these? Or if anyone checked his math? https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/trump-goes-crazy-on-trade
My word. They are dumber than I thought. And I thought they were really, really dumb.
Tinfoilhat: no way there are so many dumb peoples running this government of billionaires right now. While billionaire doesn’t mean much (you „just“ have to be ruthless and good at exploiting others)… maybe there is some heavy short selling stuff and/or buy-ins going on in the background? I mean stock market is crashing due to this dumb move and it would be good opportunities for both of this. I can not imagine this is plain stupidity.
