> Well the tarrifs do very much show that Trump has no "default preference" for the capitalised class -- he's very willing to wreck the american stock market.

Yes, Marxist-Leninist governments also wreck their local stock markets. That doesn't mean they, or Trump, are engaged in building a superior economic system for prioritizing labor over capital.

> Well the tarrifs do very much show that Trump has no "default preference" for the capitalised class

His preference seems to be to favor those that suck up to him.

I mean, that is why all the top billionaires are all very cozy to him nowadays. They may be assholes, but they are smart assholes. Psychopathically smart.

> It's very unhelpful to reduce trump down to basic evil motivations

I didn't reduce him to evil motivations. I just said it was naive to think he would somehow benefit labor and not capital or wealth.
