The idiot-in-chief’s guide to burning down an empire

The primary source, an article by Enrique Dans, argues that the policy decisions of Donald Trump's second term pose systemic risks to the global economy and established principles. The author contends that Trump's actions, such as threatening tariffs on Apple products and imposing restrictions on international students at universities like Harvard, are economically detrimental, undermine innovation, and damage the United States' international reputation. Commenters offer a range of reactions, including agreement with the author's assessment, defenses of Trump's actions, and discussions about the feasibility of manufacturing in the U.S. and the complexities of international trade and education. The overall discussion centers on the negative impacts of Trump's policies and the potential consequences for various sectors and global relations.This article is also available in English on my Medium page, «The idiot-in-chief’s guide to burning down an empire«
