I don't understand this vague comment. It could mean literally anything, and for me to respond properly, it clearly needs to be expanded upon.
Or I could just reply with something sarcastic and glib. I seem to remember people not reacting well to that recently.
I picked this theory up from YouTube. There is a whole movement that thinks Trump is trolling us all with his tweets and comments about Fake News. I think it makes sense. Fuck Occam's Razor.
I still have no idea what you're trying to say.
If Trump is "Trolling" the world by creating concrete tarrifs and a trade war with China, then I'm yet to see how it has absolutely anything to do with anything.
There are some articles out there that claim that Trump's actual policy moves are not that far from "normal" conservative policy. With a couple of exceptions. But, even on the taffifs and the trade war actions some conservatives actually see those as viable policy moves. So.... long story short all the crazy shit that he posts on twitter and etc is just a massive con job. i.e. Trump is really not that deranged it's part of his master con job to keep the liberuls all worked up so they won't have time to actually oppose his real policies.
I think that is what SFC is referring to. That is not my favorite theory. I think he really is that deranged.
Fisher has it right. You may not like the trade war, but it's not insane. It's just conservative. Lots of people love it. We can discuss the pros and cons of it if you like, or we can just keep calling Trump a moron as though no one ever thought of doing something like this before.
I, personally, think it's high time we quit letting China screw us over. Is this the best way to do it? I am not educated in economics enough to know the answer to that. But I would be interested in hearing alternatives.
