The man has an interesting theory for why Trump is creating this much chaos and disruption. It even kind of makes sense.

TL;DR: Trump - or rather, his Heritage Foundation handlers, Trump is much too dumb to come up with this on his own - wants to blow up the neoliberal view of the world and come back to a sort of Bretton-Woods world without the gold standard.

If that's the long-term plan, I might almost understand it, were it not for one critical factor: all this assumes that the ultimate bargaining power for the US is access to the US market - which currently is the largest in the world. But this assumes the cretinous tariffs don't kill it completely by creating another great depression - and that's a big assumption.

Anyhow, worth a watch.
