One of the most mysterious villains in the history of cinema was the fictitious character ‘Keyser Söze’ from the movie The Usual Suspects.
No spoilers here, but there’s a scene where they describe his rise in the criminal underworld. According to the story, Keyser Söze realized that “to be in power, you didn’t need guns or money or even numbers. You just needed the will to do what the other guy wouldn’t.”
I’ve written before that there may have been some grand strategy behind “Liberation Day”.
Perhaps the past several weeks were part of a deliberate effort by Donald Trump to prove that he has the will to do what nobody else (including China) would do… namely, cause a major worldwide recession that would even hurt his own country.
