Trump Tariffs... Possible effects on NH

Another personal opinion, and observations: Over the past few days, I have seen several reports on why Trump is trying to crash the stock market, and on the ways to put an end to this madness.

  1. Trump and friends will bring stocks to new low values, essentially creating penny stocks, then offer to buy controlling shares (at least), in that way essentially own American business.
  2. Trump is trying to foment civil war, in order to pit people against each other. [This of course could be a result of (1).]
  3. Trump wants civil unrest to create a reason to impose martial law. [This of course might result from (2)]
    [4. My own thought: US states simply form their own de facto countries, and seize all Trump and friends assets.]

I have had tentative musings about Trump and NATO as well.

  1. Suppose Trump decides to exit NATO.
  2. This could create a stronger European NATO. But Europe and other NATO countries have had less trust in Trump to defend other NATO countries in case of military aggression.
  3. Trump, seeing a stronger NATO, says “Okay you’re paying your own way, like I said you had to, so now I want back in as an equal partner”.
  4. Europe says “F^^^ you Trump, we don’t trust you, we don’t want you anymore.”
  5. Some major nuclear power sends nukes to the US, and Europe does nothing to help us. America is gone.

This one shows what Trump is all about… it talks about cuts in funding for a US database that tracks domestic terrorism in the US, including things like school shootings… all the while saying that he, and he alone, has control over international terrorism suspects… he plays judge, jury, and executioner.
