Cruelty is the point.
It may seem so, but I personally think it's about instability, chaos and unpredictability. I honestly don't think that he or the administration feel anything towards the people that they hurt. They are doing this because of greed, and to get more power
There two sides to this, the insane one handled by Trump and the sane one from the project 2025 people. It's like they explained the concept of bringing factories back to the US to Trump and then his little brain just understood tariffs because it puts him in a place of power. The sane side is devalue the dollar enough so you can build stuff in the US without major costs... obviously trump is handling it like a toddler with a hammer
I still don't get it even though you call it sane.
To me it sounds like giving your money away to become poor, so that things become expensive to you, just so that you can buy expensive stuff
Cruelty and greed also tend to get along. It could be both.
Yeah i agree. My point is that cruelty is not the reason. Its the tool. I dont think they really care as long as they get more power or money
