Its hard to understand how the tariff - a tax on the work and business of the home nation, can be successfully used to Make America Great Again... until you consider the following:
However you feel about America right now, there are 2 things you cannot escape:
- She has 'protected' the rest of the world since the second world war at great cost, largely from the attacks of Power - whomever that might be, against the people. Both internal and external attacks
- She owns the second greatest monopoly of all - the ability to create money out of nothing and spend it on foreign goods, at will
Now, if you look carefully at both these observations, they kind of cancel each other out don't they:
"You let us create the money like a king. And we promise to protect, cloth, feed and house you"
Leaving behind a kind of master/slave relationship. America being the 'Master'. The people of the RoW being the 'Slave'.
What's curious about this subsequent observation is that both sides have been partaking in their relationship, willingly. By free and often deliberate democratic choice.
And so it goes.
Humanity proceeds with its desire for slavery over freedom. Until now. Mr. Trump is trying his best to end that relationship. He's saying:
"America has had enough of protecting the RoW, it stopped paying its Master long ago, so we will no longer protect you until that is corrected"
This is the latent strategy behind the Trump Tariff policy.
He is a strong man. With an iron will. And is gaining a lot of ground in spite of the Slaves trying to stop him and block their own freedom.
Will he prevail?
