Jamie Galbraith (University of Texas) je naredil odlično analizo kaotičnosti trumpizma. Težko je bolje opisati kaotičnost ukrepanja in kaos, ki ga je povzročila reakcionarna psolovna elita, ki je prevzela oblast v ZDA. Na dolgi rok bo s temi ukrepi, ki kratkoročno škodijo šibkejšim (zaposlenim in potrošnikom) prizadela predvsem lastne interese. Tako kot komunisti, tako kot zeleni, tudi poslovneži nikoli ne bi smeli imeti odločilnega vpliva v vladi. Ker so ekstremisti. Nekaj njihovih idej je dobrih, toda njihov celotni, enostranski in ekstremistični program je katastrofa za družbo in gospodarstvo.

What to make of the blur of news, revolutionary rhetoric, panicky fundraising texts, economic indicators, the plunging stock market, and, of course, President Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress on March 4, 2025?

They are (a) the targeted destruction of specific regulatory agencies, (b) random disruptions of the federal civil service, (c) old-fashioned Reaganism, (d) tariffs, (e) migration, (f) energy, (g) the military, and (h) the general effect of rash and unpredictable policymaking—otherwise called uncertainty and chaos.
