If the US calculates criminal financial losses into tariffs, their own countries will disappear the culprits. We've never seen Mexico move so fast on crime for example.

As the internet descends into naked lawlessness and technofascism the future of almost everything is allowlisting (whitelisting) and various zero-trust [0] strategies.
A lot of what we've previously considered "core estate" (Google, Microsoft. Amazon, Meta....) will be on the outside.
Remember Robert De Niro in "Meet the Fockers"? [1]

When the President of the United States endorses and promotes financial (Trumpcoin, etc.) and health (Ivermectin, etc.) scams, this is a signal to everyone that scams are good and it is A-OK to try and take advantage of others. If you are not actively trying to scam others, you are the sucker.
