突发新闻：亿万富翁、MAGA派大金主肯·格里芬（Ken Griffin）猛烈抨击唐纳德·特朗普灾难性的关税政策，称美国“在短短四周内变得贫穷了20%”。
如今，连铁杆共和党支持者都开始纷纷逃离……
格里芬在《Semafor世界经济峰会》上表示：“美国不仅仅是一个国家。它是一个品牌。它是一个全球性的品牌，无论是我们的文化、我们的金融实力，还是我们的军事力量……美国曾经超越了一个国家的范畴，它是全世界多数人心中的向往。而我们现在正在毁掉这个品牌。”
作为对冲基金Citadel的创始人兼首席执行官，格里芬警告说，美国国家声誉遭到的破坏“可能需要一生来修复”。
他说：“你作为消费者，想想你有多少次是因为信任某个品牌才购买它的产品？在金融市场上，没有哪个品牌能与‘美国国债’相比——美元的坚挺、美国国债的信誉和信用。没有任何品牌能比肩。但我们正在把这个品牌置于风险之中。”
他将美国比作一个顶级奢侈品牌的时装公司，却因为陷入丑闻而自毁前程。
“你知道，你也许可以买到一个类似的无牌连衣裙，价格更低，但你想要的是那个不会两周内就散架的品牌连衣裙，”格里芬说。“而一旦品牌蒙尘，恢复需要非常、非常长的时间。”
他继续指出：美元贬值、混乱且不可预测的经济政策，以及特朗普对美联储主席鲍威尔的攻击，是一场灾难的配方。
随后他直指特朗普毁灭性的关税政策，称这些关税“不会带来任何胜利，只会让参与者在水中挣扎，勉强不被淹没”。
格里芬还驳斥了“关税能神奇地将制造业带回美国”的荒谬言论，指出特朗普政府根本未能通过强有力的补贴政策鼓励制造业回流。
他说：“我可以告诉你，什么事情不会发生——那就是人们不会在这种政策反复无常的环境中愿意投资建厂。你实际上是在破坏你原本想实现的目标。”
他还指出，这些政策正在破坏我们与最亲密盟友的关系——
“加拿大今天对我们国家的看法，与两个月前有何不同？欧洲今天怎么看美国，与两个月前又有什么变化？”格里芬质问。
“有人会大喊：‘这无所谓！’但你知道吗？它非常重要。因为整个西方世界正陷入债务危机。”
这就是选出一个无知自大的狂人、完全不懂地缘政治与全球经济体系的后果。特朗普只凭直觉行事，而他的直觉总是错的。

BREAKING: Billionaire MAGA megadonor Ken Griffin incinerates Donald Trump over his disastrous tariffs and says that America has "has become 20 percent poorer in four weeks."
Even hardcore Republicans supporters are running for the hills now...
"The United States was more than just a nation. It’s a brand. It’s a universal brand, whether it’s our culture, our financial strength, our military strength …. America rose beyond just being a country," Griffin said at the Semafor World Economy Summit. "It was like an aspiration for most the world. And we’re eroding that brand right now."
Griffin, the founder and CEO of the hedge fund Citadel, said that it can take "a lifetime to repair the damage that has been done" to our nation's reputation.
"If you think of your behavior as a consumer, how many times do you buy a product with a brand on it because you trust that brand?" he said. "In the financial markets, no brand compares to the brand of the US Treasuries — the strength of the US dollar and the strength and creditworthiness of US Treasuries. No brand came close. We put that brand at risk."
Griffin compared America to a luxury brand dressmaker who destroys their company by sinking into scandal.
"You know, you can buy like a similar dress with no name for less money, but you want the dress that you think is going to not fall apart in two weeks,” Griffin said. "It can take a very long time — a very long time — to remove the tarnish on a brand."
He went on to say that the deflation of the U.S. dollar coupled with chaotic and unpredictable economic policy and Trump's attacks on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is a recipe for disaster.
Griffin then directly criticized Trump's destructive tariffs, saying that they will not lead to any kind of victories but will force those involved to "tread water and not drown."
He also destroyed the absurd claim that the tariffs will somehow magically bring manufacturing back to the United States despite the Trump administration failing to incentivize such reshoring with robust subsides.
"I’ll tell you what’s not going to happen is, people are not going to raise [money] to build manufacturing in America because with the policy volatility, you actually undermine the very goal you’re trying to achieve," said Griffin.
He went on to point out the damage being inflicted on our relationships with our closest allies—
"How does Canada feel about our country today versus two months ago? How does Europe feel about the United States today versus two months ago?" Griffin asked.
"And some people scream, ‘Well, it just doesn’t matter.’ But you know what? It matters for a very profound reason. The entire Western world is engulfed in a debt crisis," he added.
This is what happens when you elect an incompetent egomaniac with no understanding of geopolitics or the complex economic systems that hold the world together. Donald Trump operates on instinct and his instincts are always wrong.
