I do not want to give the impression that I support this guy, but is there any evidence at all of some gains?

Maybe I’m dumb, but I don’t why they would willingly bankrupt this country unless theyre just betting against us and look to take full control. I’m not sure what the value of controlling a derelict former superpower country would be.

It’s like vandalizing a fantastic house to drive the value down and then moving in. Great, you own a piece of shit that was once special but is no more.

There are three primary factors at play here.

It’s #2, first and foremost.

Tank everything so the rich can consolidate their power.

We know billionaires, they’ll bitch and moan when their profits haven’t increased as much as they increased last year. They wouldn’t support Trump for his own gains or to appease a foreign agency for any amount of downturn. But to spend money on changing the rules and consolidating power, well, they haven’t spent billions lobbying the government for fun.
