“Wall Street is Fed Up with Trump’s Tariffs”
It would be kind of incredible if Trump ended up being the first president to get himself overthrown by a Business Plot because he destroyed the capitalist economy the way capitalists assumed communists would.

@HeavenlyPossum Maybe there is some horizontal competition between capitalists going on here? As in some capitalists find an interest in tariffs while finance does not?
Oh, absolutely.
The state normally works like a common committee for capitalists in general and the super-rich in specific. But now, the wider Trump crime family and a fairly small clique of Musk-adjacent Silicon Valley billionaires are capturing the state specifically for themselves. There is 100% intra-capitalist conflict going on.
@HeavenlyPossum oh, I love telling my customers: "sorry, raising the prices for you by 25% because of the trump tariffs."
@HeavenlyPossum I have confidence that Trump will fix everything eventually, by rigging the statistics.
