But now this all makes more sense.

And when it all goes to shit, Trump will say “Big Balls did it. I never heard of the guy. This is the first I’m hearing of it.”

I’m guessing with a pencil and WAAAAY better math than the Clustertrump

favor with what's happening because when it all comes down, it can be built back up properly.
Don't say how, but it was so bad it has to go.
Beyond words.

They've proudly put forward an economic policy that has economists the world over saying "WTF? That's ridiculous. That'll cause a recession, at best".

Truss did it in a parliamentary system, so she lost the confidence of her party, and had to resign (like the House Speaker needs the confidence of his majority). Truss didn't outlast her lettuce.

In a presidential system, Trump's a lot harder to dispose of. You can't impeach for stupidity. It's dumb, but no Republican is going to say it's in the realm of the 25th Amendment "unable to do the job" reasons to chuck him out. But Congressional Republicans might just take back control of tariffs so that they can save their seats in 2 or 4 years' time.

Or several rich people might simply bribe Trump to resign, if that's what it takes. It'd still be worth it for them.

They are waiting for the Trump tax cuts and for an economic collapse so they can buy distressed businesses / property for cheap.

This is a very stupid way to calculate tariffs

One calls the method "straightforward (if naive)". Another notes that doing this is "not feasible or desirable for several reasons". And there's a lot more cautionary language mixed in there.

While insufficient on its own, this could be seen as part of a larger body of supporting evidence for a theory that even the slave-toddler AIs we have now would govern the USA better than F47.
