democracy and the Constitution as if it were normal times. On foreign policy, they "analyze" President Doohnibor's tariffs and "negotiations" to discuss what effects they might have on the markets. Nobody gives a larger picture on whether the tariffs can actually achieve their supposed goals to bring businesses back to the US. They just discuss each individual change in tariffs as it happens.

For a while I though Doohnibor was manipulating the markers for his own investment purposes. But, although that's not out of the question for him, I'm wondering what other motive for the tariffs might exist behind his market manipulations, considering his general self interests in power and money.

One thing is certain. He does not act from concern for good governance and the well being of the people. So, what is behind his actions and edicts?
