Tariffs as a functional move in response to the loss of social and productive anchoring
The tariffs proposed by Donald Trump are not merely a commercial repositioning.
They reflect a deeper strategic vector:
rebuilding the national productive base in response to the silent erosion of the structures that once sustained U.S. cohesion.
- Donald Trump announced new tariffs on foreign products, targeting key industrial sectors.
- The rhetoric emphasizes “protecting jobs”, “national security”, and “economic sovereignty”.
- This move unfolds amidst:
- Trade tensions with China
- Mounting pressure on the dollar’s global role
- Growth of alternative blocs (BRICS)
- De-dollarization attempts and geopolitical realignments
- On the surface: a trade dispute.
- Beneath it: an internal realignment attempt.
Trump represents a generational and strategic layer aware of deeper transformations:
- The American production chain has been dismantled
- The symbolic power of the dollar is under global scrutiny
- Younger generations struggle to form sustainable family structures
- The cost of living exceeds the capacity for belonging and continuity
- Social fragmentation accelerated through a mix of technology, financial volatility, and cultural rupture
Tariffs are not just political gestures —
They are functional acts of containment,
An attempt to anchor society again in material substance.
What is unfolding is an effort to re-establish social cohesion through real production.
This is not merely about manufacturing or geopolitics — it is about infrastructure for permanence.
Former family structures, once grounded in durable bonds and functional roles, have collapsed under the weight of mobility, financialization, and symbolic dispersion.
In this scenario, the tariff gesture points to something deeper:
reversing the dematerialization of power.
Re-anchoring society in production, territory, and functional belonging.
Trump becomes the visible vector of an unconscious movement:
an effort to hold the world together before it reshapes itself irreversibly.
When substance vanishes, systems seek to return to ground.
Tariffs are a reflection of that.
“The facts reveal. Motivations shape. Clarity is power.”
