Is no one in this administration willing/able to deter the senile old man in charge from worsening the situation through new tariffs? I mean, don't get me wrong, this is music to my ears. Ever since I became an accelerationist last november, I cheer every time I see them pour oil on the fire.

Huh? If they disagreed with him, they would have already left the administration. So of course no one on Trumps team wants to stop trump.

  Sure, but what about the oligarchs that put him in place, the Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Thiel... ?

    Only Musk got some of his acolytes in the administration and that is only the grunts doing the dirty work at DOGE.

They're the ones suggesting the tariffs. Last time he let himself be surrounded by people with experience from other administrations. They frequently ran interference. This time he's doing it his way. It's not as if this is unexpected. He said what he was going to do. This is what the voters voted for, and his constituents support him.
