   I think it's likely a move to upset futures markets so that his friends can sell shorts.

     @MidniteMikeWrites @petergleick
     His intentions with the tariffs and everything else is to dismantle the federal government and weaken the US as much as possible.

     The tariffs will drive up food prices, as could dumping California's reservoirs prior to the growing season. The misdirection is occurring in assigning his actions to bumbling stupidity instead of malice.

     @petergleick I think his intention with the tarrifs was always misdirection. He asked for consolations that Mexico and Canada were already doing, all so he can go back to his base and declare victory. They'll probably eat it up, but these are indeed the actions of a small man.
