Trump threatens a 100% tariff on BRICS countries if they abandon U.S. dollar

Not really. It could mean that they just want a just and fair trading system not ruled by a monopoly on green paper with slavers on it.
Are you seriously saying that the capitalists from BRICS countries are interested in justice, fairness, and cancelling slave owners as opposed to their own economic self interest while jostling for position with western capitalists about who should be higher in the pecking order if exploiting the global working class? Because if you're serious about that, I would love to sell you some magic beans in exchange for your cow.
