In the case of Trump, never attribute to ineptitude what can be explained by greed.
He is tanking the US economy so he and his billionaire cohort can buy things (businesses, real estate, stocks, etc) at a low price. Thus amassing more control and capital.
This is how the Russian oligarchy came into power.
- loudmax 2y agoTrump's businesses have repeatedly declared bankruptcy. Don't rule out ineptitude.
- larrywright 2y agoHe bankrupted a casino. I’m not sure how you even manage to do that.
- heigh 2y agoHe bankrupted casinos 6 times. Six. Managed to lose money on a money printing machine.
- popalchemist 2y agoYes, he is inept. But in this case, he is following a playbook that was deliberately written to achieve the ends that this series of actions is bringing about.
