I don’t think this makes sense. The ultra rich own multinational corporations whose operations will be inhibited by tariffs and trade wars. They’re in favor of free trade because it lets them extract the maximum amount of wealth from the largest number of people. I think he genuinely doesn’t understand how international trade works and thinks the US loses money, and therefore power, when people/corporations buy international products.
Everything he can to funnel all the money to the ultra rich
