noted economist j.schussfort took a detailed look at trump's economic policy, and attempted to understand whether even retrospectively the end goals were clearly sensible. he did not consider whether trump friends&family would personally benefit, a rather naive but benevolent approach. (in the rollback of many but specific tariffs, most recently pasta, should one assume trump reached a binary outcome for bribes, or some higher level of reasoning?)
almost all policy goals were fuzzy at best, and better described as aspirations. in the few situations worth benefit-of-doubt, the means and execution towards those goals was utter garbage, and not uncommonly contradictory. consideration that other nations could\would respond seemed missing.
now apply this to all trump policy, not just economic.
