Things make a lot more sense when you realize the benefits a recession has for the top 1% and will have for Trumps personal wealth. While yes, they will temporarily go through some pain in the form of a decrease in their net worth, a recession allows the rich to expand their businesses, consuming smaller businesses that are much harder hit by a recession and collecting their technology and markets for pennies. I don’t think there is a coincidence that all these billionaires are holding hands with Trump. It will also be a fantastic distraction as they convince people how this bill or that bill that quietly strips away your rights is going to be good for business and “bringing the economy back”.
The goal is pretty simple and obvious… Beat The People with the stick until they can barely move, then offer them a carrot and a shackle.
