Or to destroy the average American’s investments and 401k and buy low once everything has hit rock bottom and the average person has no ability to recover.
Oh, and by the way, the way you speak to people is revolting. You’re a pathetic, disgusting human being.
It couldn't possibly be that he is trying to stoke civil unrest so he can declare martial law and get that pesky Congress out of the way entirely, could it? Nah...
If he hadn't been so thoughtful and measured during the BLM riots I might think he actually wanted to deploy the National Guard.
We ALL saw how far he was willing (IS willing) to go to convince even himself that he didn't get beaten in 2020. The fact that MAGAts have been living through the exact same shitshow as normal decent patriotic Americans and yet they still think he has America's best interests in mind is just fucking unbelievable. OAN and Fox have (to coin a phrase) "done a tremendous number" on the MAGAt hivemind. I get that critical thinking skills and intellectual honesty are anathema to those who think there is no such thing as an "expert". But the dumb of the MAGAt base is just so gaping it really makes me think there is no way America could have even hoped to keep and care for a democracy. Who klnows?...maybe an administration led by an idiot thug is better than 150 million wee idiot hillbillies? Hey, a guy can dream...
Part of me thinks it’s worse than that to be honest. This implies a sort of competence I’ve just never seen evidence of.
What I have seen is an emotional petty toddler with unchecked power. I think it’s as simple as, everyone made fun of him for not getting rid of trade imbalances nor balancing the budget. So now he’s determined to do those things even though they’re deeply flawed and bad ideas, and he has no understanding of the actual consequences. So he’s plowing ahead with things that are bad, because he said he would. Republicans have always talked about cutting spending as a rallying cry because it appeals to dumb people who can’t understand that the government issuer of the world reserve currency doesn’t function like their personal finances of $150 income a day from DoorDash, a trailer rental and $1000 credit card bill ran up at Walmart. He’s just the first one dumb enough to not get that and actually try to do that.
If the Tech Bro Mafia wasn't involved I'd be inclined to think that this is nothing more than irrational thrashing- which it certainly looks like. I genuinely think that the Tech Bro Mafia is just allowing and encouraging him to smash everything because they are in a position to pick up the pieces. They genuinely think that they are visionaries rather than simply the fastest rats to the carcass.
As off-the-rails crazy as Trump is, Elon and Theil and Vance needed a moron to come in and do the demolition so they could construct the better government not beholden to anything but their own greed. The storm clouds are gathering and wind is whipping up and it's starting to sprinkle. And there is nowhere to go to stay safe from the storm.

I swear he is manipulating the market so he and his cronies can benefit.
