He doesn't understand the economy well enough to intentionally tank it. You're right about the revenge part though. He is pissed about being rejected, prosecuted, and ridiculed.
The tariffs are his attempt, I think, to extract revenge on the "weak" leftist non-authoritarian democracies that don't show him deference or capitulation.
Master negotiator, 4D chess, stable genius; what a fucking joke.

The best take I've heard so far is this: there is no strategy. Pulling the levers is the point unto itself. He likes tariffs. Like most things, he doesn't understand how they work. Maybe he thinks China pays them. But it's not part of some economic plan. Clearly. Trying to sort it out is to delve into the twisted mind of a dim-witted narcissist.
He's not trying to accomplish anything. The effects however, may entertain him. Every justification is post-hoc.
