He may not consciously be doing it, but the rich assholes around him want a recession so they can buy everything for cheap and further increase their wealth.

Intelligence reports from preppers around the world.
1. What are you seeing that affects your prepping? Post should be based on something you're actually seeing / experiencing locally. If it is outside of your area / is speculation, prepare to have current and substantial evidence such as multiple and neutral links as to not have the content removed.
2. Post title must have a general description, location / region plus flair. We're not asking or wanting exact locations, just a general idea of where you're talking about in the beginning of the title. It greatly helps people read / filter posts.
3. If your post isn't from your own eyes but affects you, it is encouraged to have evidence. (Links) Recent and up to date links, benefit all and help others understand and contribute to your post.
4. Unconstructive comments may lead to removals or bans. We are here to gather intel, not hate. This includes personal attacks, name calling, pushing politics, religion, racism, sexism, condoning / avocation of violence, trolling, ill will towards others and so on.
5. If you feel that the intel is wrong, link your own recent and relevant intel on the direct subject. If you feel the need to argue back, calmly do so with recent and relevant evidence on the subject. We do not care who you are, or which side you're on, we seek truth and transparency through sheer informational evidence.
If your view isn't backed up, (and at this point likely causing an issue) it may be subject to removal.
User may have a chance to research and find intel to restore their comment after contacting a moderator... Don't make a habit of this.

Trump is dumb, but not so dumb that he doesn't know exactly what he's doing. He just doesn't care about consequences because he's neither faced them ever in his life, nor does he intend to face them in the future.
Hey may actually not understand the effects of his actions. He did go to the Wharton school but that was really a legacy/rich person admission. It has been reported that his professors considered him to be very stupid.
Oh, and he is. But no doubt he has people like Musk telling him how, even if Musk wasn't having Tesla stock fold in front of him, his tariffs are going to kill his car sales (especially the cyber truck which has a ton of aluminum).
He knows. He's been told. But he's sticking to his story of how tariffs are a "tax break" on the people, it is other governments that pay them, and has his press secretary saying the same, even going so far as to throw insults at agencies who correctly call them out on their bullshit.
I also believe that it has less to do with his own understanding of things and more out of a principle of never admitting fault. If he pulls back the tariffs, then it means he was wrong to start with and that would mean he was weak all along..
