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?

Bonus points for anyone with insider information.
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.
Their monetary losses are insubstantial compared to the gains in power they will receive from further weakening the influence and power of the average person.
Do you reckon that some people voted for Trump just because they knew he was so incompetent that he would inadvertently fuck shit up for everyone, friends included - and that there are enough disillusioned people in the US fed up of any semblance of the status quo (progressive or otherwise) who just wanted to watch the world burn as much as they’re suffering?
A vote of pure spite and nihilism
I was writing that it’s not a bad price to pay to establish a feudal system where you’re part of the oligarchy, but honestly, what do they need more than they already have? The current system gave them everything they could ever wish to obtain.
what do they need more than they already have?
These people have an illness. They wouldn’t be billionaires if they didn’t have an all-consuming desire to obtain and hoard wealth and power at all costs.
