Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Looking over in horror from Britain - because we've still got our own version of this shit likely to come in a few years time. :-!
It seems to me Turmp's real plan is to crash the economy so that the billionaires will be able to own everything. They will be able to buy it all dirt cheap in the coming recession. Billionaires get far richer in a crisis, it suits them fine since they already have the deepest pockets and are disaster capitalists who profit from instability and chaos.
Tmurp doesn't care. He expects to live forever but even if he dies trying, it'll still be his parting gift to his fellow rich bastards. His work is already done, the USA won't recover from this for generations. He will be remembered forever as the greatest villain who ever lived in the history of the USA. He's fine with that - he hates Everyone!
The AI bubble will pop so hard, not to even mention everything else going on. The money is all getting siphoned up in crypto and spirited away.
These fuckers are going to make an absolute killing, in more ways than one. They profit on chaos, despair and division.
I think it's hard for people to imagine that an insane narcissistic demented president would deliberately wreck the global economy while telling the citizens it's a golden age.
It's all a distraction from the plundering of everything!
He's got nothing to lose, a lot to gain, and he's running out of time. The 1% are gonna own everything and fuck off to Argentina when the time comes.
No shit Sherlock!
Edit: At least, that seems to be the game plan from where I'm sitting.
I put this in a post elsewhere about his Golden Age comment.
It actually is a Golden Age. For billionaires and corporations.
And grifting pieces of shit like Donvict, who is able to rig the game. I'd love to see his family and his corporatist cronies imprisoned. Him, too, but I doubt he'll live long enough to see any consequences if they ever come at all...
