Thank you for tracing the outlines of what others still mistake for chaos. This isn’t just corruption—it’s collapse scripted as governance, sabotage elevated to doctrine. If the tariffs are a theft, they are also a signal: the regime is testing how much destruction the public will tolerate before it demands a crown.

What follows is neoreactionary doctrine, economic sabotage, and executive autocracy—market destabilization not as failure, but as strategy. Beyond kleptocracy: collapse by design, as political architecture, where sabotage becomes strategy and executive power expands through economic ruin. We’re not just being robbed—we’re being structurally replaced.

If you look into the Trump’s family history you will see that influencing the share market has been used exclusively to create movements in the market for his indirect gain through personal investors.

Mary Trump regularly mentions this in her podcasts.

The first to do this was his grandfather who made his money conning gold miners out of their money, property, running gambling and hoare houses and by using insider trading before the big Wall St crash that caused the Great Depression.

Evidence of Trump spruiking includes crypto, COVID19 cures, Dr OZ products , Tesla stocks just to name a few.

He has appointed corrupt people in Wall St to facilitate his scam. He has only recently created a share portfolio which has been contrary to his belief in investing on the sharemarket.

Donald only goes against his investment principles when he has control over his decisions.

There is also the fact the he really does not have much liquidity in assets and he is highly indebted to Russian, Saudi, Chinese and Jewish investors which doesn’t make him feel to good. Not being in the Forbes 100 still hurts him.

Would he do this deliberately , the answer is yes, if he is confident that he will be a winner. His body language shows he does not care at this point in time, which is consistent with his confidence during the election until Kamala entered the race, he then showed desperation. His confidence came back when Elon came on board. As we now know there is evidence of Elon tampering with election

results.

When Donald is self assured you know he has done something underhanded to achieve his objective and that is to win at all costs.

He has an Economics degree, yet he has never written an essay, revealed his exam results and is unable to answer basic economic theory questions. Yet he claims to have an iQ of 240.

Does he cheat, yes at everything he does because he is a conman, psychopath who will destroy everything to get what ever he wants.

However, everything can implode and when it does you will notice his body language change just as it did during the election.

All things nefarious with TrXmp. Of course he is involved with insider trading. That is likely the least of his crimes against America at this point in time.

MEDIA why aren’t you investigating SCOUTS and Congress holding them accountable and indicting Justices for breaking the oath against Americans by allowing uncheck and un-wielded power to TrXmp and the administration.

Plain & simple explanation. Every atom of trump’s being revolves around self-aggrandizement and the pursuit of the grift. This single celled organism is beyond evil. Most beings that are exposed to this overwhelming compulsion become exhausted, stunned, fearful or in denial. Some adapt and take advantage of symbiotic parasitic relationships for tangible or emotional purposes. Many in their own orbits are just unaware or apathetic until individual collisions with the consequences of that force.

I mean, there are certainly other motivations as well - as explained in section "Even more nefarious goals": https://integ.substack.com/i/160588364/even-more-nefarious-goals

But you're right: without all these bad intentions, Trump's actions wouldn't make any sense at all.
