I didn't know WHY he was doing these tarrifs. I assumed he was working with putin to destroy america.

But your explaination.......is so much dumber than I would have ever come up with.

Not saying YOU'RE dumb. I'm saying the fact that we're living in a real life reality where some asshole conman controls the worlds economy, and uses it as his own personal corrupt ATM is baffling to me. We live in the dumbest timeline.

It's both.

All he wants is the money, Putin is happy to prop him up in exchange for his own goals

There's probably also the shady kompromat shit going on too as the stick to the carrot. But trump is only where he is because of greed.
