It's only stupid if you give a flying fuck about those people. Trump certainly does not. FM is correct in calling this a eugenics program.
Any populist forcing poor folk to pay higher prices for such a basic commodity as food is in fact being stupid. Whether he cares about them is not as relevant as whether they care about him. And if they have to choose between money to put gas in the car to get to work to earn money to buy food, or money to buy food meaning you can't put gas in the car ... that gets squishy.
The stupidity comes when you paint people into a corner. Doesn't matter if he cares, it matters when they care.
