The picture is the front of the current issue of the Economist whose Editor has called Trump’s tariff policy ‘bonkers’
Trump’s tariffs suggest a view that the old world economic order was no longer working for the US, so in the manner of the Great Gatsby careless people have broken things. Its a gamble that might work, or might not.
Meanwhile my Guardian Fletter (11th April 2025) suggests not that Trump is a new Lenin but the scale of impact on the global system he is having, consciously or otherwise
Looking at recent events, it seems Donald Trump is the most successful anti-capitalist since Lenin.
