The tone of discourse on HN has gotten quite negative lately. It can be possible for Trump to believe that what he's doing is good even if what he's doing proves bad. He seems sincere in thinking that yesterday's tariffs will do good for the U.S. Who knows, tariffs might yet do good (or not), and Democrats used to advocate roughly the same thing:

- Nancy Pelosi, 1996: https://x.com/ThomasSowell/status/1907875133638705646
- Roger Moore's films
Clearly they changed their minds. It would be interesting to see why they changed their minds.
