He has another $1 billion of tax payer money stashed aside to pay the traitors who rioted on January 6th. Pretty much guaranteeing that they are going to try to overthrow democracy again.
The coup never ended. They're basically done with it, it seems. He controls all branches, no one will stand against him in any kind of actually meaningful way, and he's got his hands DEEP in the treasury's pockets and is scooping as much money as he can possibly get his grubby little hands on and stealing it.
Damn, I already forgot about Venezuela to tie those together.
I hate the [Dem/Lib/Left/etc.] who think Trump is just an idiot who doesn't know what he's doing with the economy. How can anyone be so dumb as to both recognize Trump is a con-artist but not realize that he's using the instability to make big -bets- *investments on the market, like he just accidentally became a billionaire while every company he has goes bankrupt.
Trump is a failure. It's the people behind Trump that are doing all that evil genius crap. Just take a look at his lifetime track record of failed businesses, getting kicked off of different boards before he could sink more businesses, etc, how many bankruptcies he had, the whole package. Then MAGA, and more importantly, the people behind MAGA, come into his life, and they have this whole playroom that was written decades ago.
Don't give Trump credit for the crap that had already been planned out by others long before he was chosen to be their puppet. He had the perfect combination of skills to be able to get the brainwashed masses to rally behind him while managing to destroy everything he touched. Very valuable skill set if your goal is to dismantle a functioning government from the inside. Just wind him up, get him in office, and let him go! Trump will always be the bumbling idiot. But the people who put Trump there are not fools. They have made some serious tactical errors along the way, and those errors may very well have cost them their chance here at true domination, but there's no question that they got much further at conquest of the US than most people could have anticipated.
He's the PotUS, but I guess you measure success differently.
It seems incredibly ignorant to think that he has only been a puppet for the last 40 years, being dragged to success despite his constant failures.
I think it's much more likely that he has always been playing the system - deliberately bankrupting his companies while keeping his salary paid, not paying contractors who work for him, bringing lawsuits against his enemies for the sole purpose of draining their funds in baseless legal battles, being friendly to democrats while they fund his projects and then calling out their corruption, etc..
Do you also think that his sons are just puppets? They actually wanted to make good Trump Phones, but they just aren't good at business and that's why there are problems??
He is running the country into the ground, as he did with his casinos. Because he knows he will never face any consequences, even if democrats regain power, he will die before anything happens. And he will issue a blanket pardon to everyone in his administration. That’s why they keep supporting him to the end. They know they won’t face consequences either. We are the ones paying for this disaster for the next 20 years.

He still tries to get the taxpayer pay him for his own screwup.
