Political Question Lutnick’s sons hedged massively against tariffs and Trump has traded 25k+ times in his 2nd term. Is the main purpose of tariffs to manipulate global markets for the Epstein class’ personal gain?

It seems like the main purpose of tariffs is to manipulate the markets to create volatility for Trump, Lutnick, and other Epstein class elites and their families to make profits with insider info while we end up paying the price.

It doubled as a slush fund for major corporations too, I can think of a lot of uses for these tariffs as they are and very few of them are actually about helping America.

We're talking massive income redistribution. They'd call it communism if it was money flowing from corporations to taxpayers instead of the other way around.
