    Merz is just jealous. How many FIFA Peace Prizes and Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal awards does he have, hmmmm?

      None, but he does have a few no belt peas prizes.
      And we all know how much the murderous war mongering orange child rapist wants one of them!!

      He’s billions richer. But he’s also caused what feels to me like the fastest devaluation of the dollar and rapid loss of purchasing power for Americans.

      So we all lose and he makes a small fortune.

      It’s only been 1 year too.

        I had a thought the other day that I’m not nearly financially literate enough to know how true it is, but with all the talk about stocks going up, couldn’t that be an effect of the dollar going down?

          That was my take as well. Anyone with large real estate or other investment portfolios is treading water while those who don’t are sinking without directly realizing why.

      It seems like he’s quite bad at keeping a fortune once made. Wouldn’t surprise me to see those billions evaporate from whence they came.

        Don’t worry about him. He’s quite good at doing whatever he wants and avoiding responsibility for that. He will take another few billions if these would “evaporate”. Just will come to the treasury and say: give me a few billions and a big cup of icecream. And a pony.
