No. His policies are all aimed at fighting China.

- He wants to choke them with tariffs (and now has leverage to get the rest of the world to join in).

- They want Greenland to defend the North

- He wants to onshore manufacturing as a strategic wartime capability

Once you understand this, his policies make sense.

And the whole business of putting tariffs on everywhere is so countries can't export from them to evade the tariffs.

So because of this he seems to think effects on markets will be a one time correction that's worth the cost (not to mention is probably shorting it to pieces)
