In other words, Trump-Musk have declared open season on real fraud and bribery.
February 15Feb 15 Author Basically JD is demanding that Europe re-industrialize and re-arm, and become militarily independent of the United States. Trump scored a big arms deal with India, definitely souring the face of the Russians who have been selling them so many weapons.

February 25Feb 25 Author Trump's tariffs will make everybody who isn't rich will get a huge consumption tax to lower their standard of living and savings. A small number of people may have their situation improved if their jobs/potential careers are restored by tariffs. a primitive tool like Tariffs will not magically restore US global manufacturing prowess- literally with such a complex endeavor it would require communist/east asian style technocrat central planning like the CCP China and the Soviets. Americans are too ideological, scared, uneducated and stupid to vote for that system into power. Trump is mainly corporate welfare. The rich will get even richer, and spend more on overpriced luxuries, real estate, high finance, and hired slaves rather stimulating the general economy. Then there will be a huge army of the unemployed that lost their jobs due to the Musk DOGE cuts but the economy may never generate enough jobs for them in the first place... Paying off the nation destroying debt is impossible without a war on the rich and corporations, along with government cuts. You can't have it both ways.
