Billionaires across the country are starting to express buyer's remorse for putting Donald Trump back in power. These billionaires are now watching as their fortunes disappear thanks to Trump's backwards trade policies, and they are now speaking out about how horrible this has been for them. But they can't feign ignorance on this one - Trump made it clear that this was exactly what he was going to do during the campaign.
Donald Trump isn't immune from his own horrible policies, and his crashing of the stock market has now cost him half a billion dollars. In the past week, Trump saw his own net worth plummet by $500 million as the stock value of his Trump Media and Technology Group bottomed out, along with most of the stock market. He would rather lose millions than admit that he's wrong, which is quite shocking.
Elon Musk's team at DOGE has been using AI to spy on government workers to make sure that everyone employed in the federal government is sufficiently loyal to Donald Trump. The fact that they are using unproven and easily fooled software is actually the least important part of the story - the fact that government employees are no longer allowed to have personal opinions is what really matters. The thought police are active.
The European Union has announced some minor reciprocal tariffs on the United States, but for the most part they are just sitting back and laughing at the "stupidity" of Donald Trump tanking the entire US economy. Reports suggest that EU countries are "sharpening their knives" as they wait for the US to become so insolvent that they can take over major trade agreements and business ventures, taking away the main source of vitality for the United States.
