    I’m legit wondering who even profits from Trump’s politics?
    If regular people are getting fucked and billionaires lose wealth and the stock market tanks, who comes out on top?

    Apart from the European military industrial complex?

        The on again, off again tariffs are a great way for Trump to exploit insider trading for his own benefit. I have not seen a single journalist cotton on and most of the Left are circle-jerking about him being stupid. He is evil.

      The people with real money and power are taking huge gains. They are and will not suffer losses, other than temporary, strategic losses. This is prestidigitation. We’re focused on exactly what they want us to see, not what’s happening while we continue to be entertained by side shows.
