20. It's a grift. ...

Trump loves tariffs because they are direct money makers for the US Treasury.

He's on video saying exactly that and smiling. Repeatedly.

Think, when have you seen him smile?

What does it mean when a psychopath smiles?

His ultimate plan is to rob the the USA blind.

The padding of the US Treasury with money made from The People's money due to tariffs, the US as a crypto friendly country, the possibility of upgrading the gold standard are all parts of the singular plan to rob America.

We the People are already being robbed by the destruction of the government and the programs that we have paid for with our taxes.

The oligarchs are not going to be satisfied with only that.

They are not going to be satisfied with just their tax cuts.

The greedy are never satisfied, and psychopaths just don't care. They can't be made to care because they're psychopaths.

DOGE is a distraction from the planned heist via the tariffs plan.

It's possible Musk offered to find money for the robbery but, in actuality, as a psychopath himself, is probably trying to trick President Psychopath while plundering with the primary goal of helping himself, not Trump. Essentially, trying to bullsh¡t the bullsh¡tter.

The end goal for Trump has always been to pack the US Treasury's balance and steal The People's Money.

It's not simply about the tariffs.

They are just one means to an end.

Don't expect to hear about this from too many other sources. I learned about it by reading copious articles about tariffs and the economy. It is mentioned but not often. Of course, the so-called mainstream media, for the most part, is failing to point this out. They answer to the rich.

The microscopic examination of the minutiae is ludicrous.

Zoom out. It's the big picture that's important here, and it's even uglier from a distance.
