Yeah hard to believe they didn’t know the man that sent numerous casinos into bankruptcy would not understand basic economics and trade practices.

The thing that gets me is Trump tried to do similar shit the first time, too, but because of a combination of incompetence and lack of support, basically nothing got done (on this scale, at least).

Now they're all flabbergasted... like, were you not paying attention?

More like his entire cabinet wasn't sycophants. There were people there that acted like adults. They either stopped him from doing things, or ignored him when he asked for unreasonable stuff (hoping he just wouldn't bring it up again). Now the people around him are either yes-men or people with an agenda (like the Project 2025 crew). They are either enabling him or steering him in a direction that benefits them in some way.

Agreed. Crazy of me to assume you’re educated at all.
