The tech-right of musk, thiel, vance, andreessen etc are enacting the "reboot" envisioned by curtis yarvin, he wrote about it calling it "the butterfly revolution" iirc. The rest are just trying to roll back 80 years of social change along with reestablishing segregation but as national policy this time.
And yeah I think your read on how they'll manage the fallout of this is correct.
I think you’re right, and they’ve found their useful idiot in Trump.
As for Trump himself, I think he truly believes the rest of the world is taking advantage of the US and tariffs are a way of setting things right. My guess is that in his view, the country (or at the least the rich people he cares about) will benefit from all this.

I don't think he has any such belief, and would abandon those 'beliefs' in an instant if it suited the only thing he cares about, himself.
