What could possibly go wrong when you give the most important job in the world to the most unqualified person ever?
We need to dispense with this notion that Trump is “unqualified.” He is very qualified for the job that he actually set out to do, and has been accomplishing it expertly.
It’s just a different job than the one you think it’s supposed to be.
Trump is overqualified to take us right into bankruptcy. He’s been here so many times! Don’t worry! Just ask for money from stupid people that have money!
Unironically, yes. You wanna know why Trump’s businesses kept going bankrupt? Because they were never meant to be sustainable in the first place. They were scams – probably fronts for Russian money laundering – and designed to have all the money extracted and then implode on purpose before law enforcement could start looking too closely.
And now he’s doing the same thing with the entire goddamn country.
I don’t believe that for one second. They’ve got a Project 2025 playbook written by some smarter people that makes them almost look competent. But they aren’t even doing that great of a job of it. The whole lot appear to be as dumb as a box of rocks from my PoV.
Consider the possibility that Trump’s real goal is to destabilize the US, destroy its democracy and civil liberties, and turn it into a Russian-style oligarchy and vassal state of Russia.
Given that assumption, what mistake has he made that detracts from that goal?
I bet we could find someone less qualified.
It just would be difficult to find one outside of a hospital or care home.
You joke, but Texas last year had a representative missing for months. Come to find out that she was checked into a care home, still drawing paycheck.
One Source on the matter.
Well . . yeah. He’s a demented rapist.
Who the fuck is just figuring this out?
The markets haven’t historically had a problem with demented rapists in charge unless it effects shareholder value.
Seems like a pretty big flaw in the system that a demented rapist being in charge doesn’t always impact shareholder value. Idk, maybe I’m just a beta cuck or something.
Risk? Its his goal. Crash the market for his ultra wealthy amigos to buy up everything
And…
Destroy USD.
Remove USD as global reserve currency.
Bitcoin.
Sell off land to billionaire buds.
(Allow) Nuke a few cities?. Big midterm surprise?. /q’s Great solar flash of 2025 - this is the only one I’m not certain of what/how/when.
Voilà.
Lol. You downvote. Everything he does is a known. You just have to listen. Here’s my comment from almost 4 months ago about tarrifs https://lemmy.ca/post/33768636/13042232
Another problem is that down to lower class the americans invest for their retirement.
If he wipes out the people’s lifetime savings, they can’t afford to retire and got to work longer - even if the recession is driving inflation down.
You think that billionaires that are influenced by the likes of Curtis Yarvin care about people saving for retirement?
No, I just thought about how normal people are fucked over. In systems with public pensions, politicians could just cut the pensions, in a property and investment based system, you have to make the “lifetime savings” of the lower 95% just not liveable by greedflation, concentration of wealth and volatile markets that eat up savings - and don’t allow sub-billionaires to hedge.
The upcoming Trumpageddon will make the Trumpcession look like Trumplemania.
Hey Wharton School: This is why you shouldn’t sell degrees to rich parents for their spoiled children.
