      Yes, we know. But if the established, non-broligarch folks realize that they won’t be in the winning end after it’s all done, they might do something about it. Not until all the brown people are exported and the government is drowned in the bathtub, though. Those were the WSJ’s priorities all along. if they get upset, it will only be because Elon jumped the line in front of them for the cash.

        I agree, but the guy literally said this was what he was going to do, and they were all for it then.

          We can parade around and yell “we told you so” or we can welcome anyone who wants to add to the resistance. It’s up to us. That said, I don’t know if WSJ will ever be of any meaningful value to the resistance.

      As always, the elites think they can control a stupid man, but the stupid man does whatever he wants anyway.

    It’s not about being smart for America, it’s about being smart for Putin. Trump’s going to do that with every single decision until we’re completely destroyed.

    Doesn’t matter, he doesn’t read. His aides might, but they won’t tell him for fear of getting fired.

    I mean it makes perfect sense there WSJ, the journal that tacitly endorsed this fuckwit, he’s a massive fuckwit that doesn’t understand how anything works.

    And you guys backed him, your editorials proved that regardless of your “no endorsement” fuckery, so fuck you feigning shock when a moron does moronic things.

      You must go and get this trademarked under your name. Either you make money by exploiting this trademark or by selling back to Trump and his acolytes so you can’t use but either way you make bank!

    Trump’s tariffs are going to hurt businesses. It is very likely that his policies are only going to help his selected cronies and his own family. As we can see, the stock market also went down after announcing the tariffs.This is why oligarchs are up in arms.

    That being said, the good news is that agitated oligarchs could move against Trump and support someone more business friendly. Harris before the elections has been endorsed by economists as being good for the economy. Oligarchs could endorse someone more moderate after Trump’s presidency (if there will ever be another election).

    Just fyi to everyone, I am not saying that oligarchs are good overall. I am just saying that the US is an oligarchy for all intents and purposes, and since Plato mentioned that oligarchy is not a unified group, they still each have their own interest and that could be used to advantage.

      They can make money on market downturns; especially if they know it’s going to go down beforehand. Also, during extreme downturns, the rich buy up everything for cheap.

    Whenever You start a sentence with “Trump”, it will probably end with “dumbest in history”. You actually only need one more word, “Trump is dumbest in history”. Simple, tells the story.
