Tariffs are just leverage for negotiation for countries who’ve taken advantage of the demand that the US produces, as they can be adjusted in seemingly real time, while also incentivizing onshore resourcing.

Ultimately if DOGE succeeds, more manufacturing industries are built in the states, the budget is balanced, rates are low, US corporate and individual taxes decrease to further drum up demand (people have a lot more money), including other initiatives like the Strategic Reserves, External Revenue Service, Gold Cards, Rare Earth Acquisition, Chip Manufacturing - if this compounds according to plan, we should find ourselves marching towards the golden era after initial pain caused by disruption which is to be expected.

The goal is ultimately to continue making Americans the wealthiest nation on the planet as we are the demand generators for the rest of the world’s economy.

The only existential risk I see is a future opposing administration unwinds it all because they’ve successfully fed misinformation through propaganda tubes to gain power.
