    It’s not fucking “strange”.

    It’s Canada, Japan, the EU, and our other former allies retaliating against the US trying to use absolutely asinine and ham-fisted tariffs as a cash grab/shakedown by engaging in strategic retaliatory fiscal policy.

    This is actual 4D geoeconomic chess. Because if orangeboi doesn’t listen and they keep going, the USD standard goes away.

      The wealthy are no longer constrained by borders, so they don’t actually care if the US hegemony fails. They have investments all over the world.
