(They don’t give a shit what it’s doing to the rest of us, natch.) Have they lined up Powell to give Caligulanus a face-saving out to put a stop to this insanity? Powell says he’ll lower rates, tRump says “exactly what I wanted - I win!!” and he rescinds the tariffs? Whatever it is that gets him to (hopefully) reverse course, it will be characterized as a victory for the asshole. But the damage is done. Our trading partners no longer trust us. And rightfully so.

social security (money) are important to all of us. The repugs will say they regret the moves even though they really don't care. Remember George Carlin? They hate you, meaning the repugs don't give a damn about you or me.
