  1. From foreign policy journalist Elise Labott:

    >The Trump administration is methodically dismantling the global economic architecture the United States itself built over 75 years. This isn’t just about border taxes or manufacturing jobs; it’s about fundamentally rewriting the rules of international commerce, finance, and monetary policy.

    >Under President Trump, the United States has switched sides in the global economic order, transforming from its chief architect and defender into its most formidable challenger.

  2. Trump, and by extension America, is acting like a spoiled rich teenager, understanding nothing, smashing the very structures that enabled his position.

  3. Why does America think that its 300m people can match the billions of consumers outside its borders? If they want to be poor let them.

    Tons of emerging markets to offset the loss trade with the US. Factories will never return to America and globalization cannot be replaced. The world is already too interconnected and developed to return to 1800s trading.

    Unless the Americans realize that fact they are only making themselves less competitive in the global market.

  4. I think it would be more accurate to say that Trump is writing America out of the global economic system.

  5. After tariffs he probably gonna make everything crypto, so no one gonna print money anymore, either papers, coins, cheques, and credits

    So probably no more Reserve Bank
