The modern bourgeoisie or financial powers in America started with industrial powers that turned the world into an international factory utilizing needed resources around the world, and at cheaper rates to promote their business. Countries were singled out and developed for specific resources and trade balances were established and enhanced. This allowed countries to sell their chief resource in exchange for what they did not have, allowing them to grow in population, wealthy leaders, and dependency on this global factory or “Mega machine”.
As the population and this factory has grown, limits have been, and are becoming more and more evident. Survival and growth ability even among the financial elites becomes more desperate and competative.
For a leader who has never based his established wealth on manufacturing, but real estate and hotels, and who is now in dire need of capital there is one quick way to personal wealth. This must be done at the cost and sacrifice of the people who he now controls. These people are not in China or anywhere outside the United States, but here in the United States where his governing power now presides. By imposing tariffs he cannot force foreigners to provide him money, but he can collect it from his own people who will have to pay the increased price of foreign goods for which they are now dependent. Even U.S. industries will be sacrificed who manufacture within the U.S. affected by the inflation imposed on necessary steel for auto production among other manufacturers and retailers. The deceptive stage portrays an economic attack on foreign nations while the people who pay and are being attacked are here.
The problem now is how global territories and dependencies will react to a sudden stoppage of foreign goods, especially those which depend on simple grain which allowed their populations to grow despite the lack of resource or sustenance within their own borders.
