The Real Secret Behind Trump’s Insane Tariff Obsession

The president won’t clarify what his price for ending his idiotic trade war is. Maybe that’s because it’s something he dare not say out loud.

Trump’s China tariff is 10 percent (against 25 percent on Canada and Mexico) because China purchased vast numbers of Trump’s memecoins. Citing a report from Business Insider, around 40 very rich and anonymous investors own fully 94 percent of the Trump memecoins. Each of these 40 gave Trump more than $10 million for these worthless trinkets.

Have these very rich investors, whose identities are not publicly available, been following some sophisticated investment strategy well beyond the understanding of you and me? No. These purchases are expensive endearments. Whether those extending them include the Chinese government is anybody’s guess. But whoever they are, they want something in return: Low tariffs.

Which may mean Trump’s price for dropping his hugely costly fantasy of resurrecting William McKinley will be not better behavior from China or Mexico or Canada on trade or border crossings or fentanyl, or even Canada becoming the fifty-first state. It may be that Trump is running a straightforward protection racket on his billionaire new best friends. Is that an outrageous accusation? It is. But tell me with a straight face he wouldn’t try it. Trump is NOT honest Abe Lincoln.

Trump is again doing that weird thing where he signs executive orders that need to be explained to him just before he signs them.

And 99% of the rest of Hollywood shovelware is exposition filled garbage that doesn't trust the audience to have an IQ above 70 or possess any critical thinking skills at all, so everything gets told to you in completely inorganic ways... No child left behind, and all that.


"As you already know" is a sentence that should lead to the immediate firing of anybody writing it, reading it out loud or even suggesting it.


I'm not a gambling man, but I'd be willing to wager my house and everything I own that this phrase was never uttered by a single character that Lynch wrote. And I guaranty you that if he ever used it, it was for ironic purposes, and most likely as a setup to something that was going to break your brain an hour and a half later.

Having never watched Dune all the way through though, it wouldn't surprise me if somebody pointed out that Alan Smithee directed a character to say that phrase. But Lynch didn't count that so neither will I.


I wonder if anybody ever traced back the origin to "As you already know."

When is the first time somebody destroyed interesting storytelling with that phrase and when did the suits decide that making that part of their business model going forward was a good long term strategy?
