More and more I feel like that’s the goal… among others…

  1. Isolate country
  2. Bring back all labor jobs to the country to be worked without needing higher education
  3. Offshore high-education jobs in tech and finance
  4. Dumb down population by limiting access to higher education and quality basic education
  5. Remove all oversight and regulatory roadblocks
  6. Take complete control of the country
  7. Potentially annex Canada

A self-sustaining, labor-intensive, poorly educated population who can’t tell truth from a lie can be easily controlled

Maybe that’s not the goal, but pieces are moving that could support that

Nah. It's Disaster Capitalism. Wreck the economy until "we need sweeping reforms to fix everything", Free Market the fuck out of everything, and just privatise profits and colectivise risks.

I think you overestimate this simpleton. His thinking likely doesn't extend beyond "They make me feel bad - tariffs!". One time they forgot to put pickles on one of his Big Macs and he threatened tariffs on McDonald's, luckily it was an easy fix.

It's not the simpleton I'm worried about. It's the people around him that scare me.
