Yes, the title is pure click bait but I think the video is actually well researched.
Dr. Joeri Schasfoort examines both interviews and papers by Scott Bessent and Stephen Miran. Based on these he explains what Trump and his team try to achieve by tariffing nearly every country on earth. In the end it is all about bringing manufacturing back to the US while maintaining the Dollar as the global reserve currency. I seriously doubt that the plan will work because it hinges on the trust of US allies but I guess we will all see how it works out.

I loved the comment saying “Having a plan doesn’t mean its a good plan”

The plan reeks of American exceptionalism and Trump is probably the worst person who could attempt to do it. With his repeated comments about annexing their allies and praise for dictators, who would want to become what is essentially a US vassal.
