Trump sees trade through a mercantilism lens. Any trade deficit we have is bad by default and the deficit is how bad we are "ripped off" by importing that countries goods. The only way to "fix" the imbalance is for them to import more of our goods.

Its rooted in the 16th-18th century so its totally the best system

This is the only person I have seen say this so I can only guess no one is repeating it but it appears to be correct when I checked a few countries.

Its fucking insane to think Cambodia has a 97% tariff, and he thinks they are getting rich off of it.

Yes? I mean its not a hard concept. You are a terrorist for diagreeing with the god emperor. The only way back is to do 5 Hail Trumps, 3 Trump Prayers, and 1 apology to Elon Musk.

This seems like the worst way for him to go because 100% his "fans", if you want to call them that, will say it was the deep state that killed him for getting to close to their operations. They will try to get Trump to double down on his cuts to the government and it will make things worse somehow.

Really no matter how he goes it will be due to the deep state unless he Luigi's himself

If you think of the banks as your only consumer i guess it makes sense.

Honestly I would expect Trump to be more patriotic and go with Silver Shirts

Nah. He is just going to trip and fall out a window.
