      The fact that every other article about his incoming administration is talking about their desire to dismantle the federal government, maybe.

        They are against things like the CFPB but they aren’t getting rid of the FDIC which is the good faith backing of the US banking system. The 1% isn’t so liquid that they wouldn’t lose huge amounts of money with a full scale banking crisis

            The FDIC coverage wouldn’t be what they would be worried about. They wouldn’t have their accounts much above FDIC limits.

            My point is that the FDIC serves to prevent a banking crisis that would limit their ability to liquidate their assets and realize their wealth

            It doesn’t only cover 250k. There are different rates of coverage per account type, number of account holders, and bank. You can have millions of dollars covered by FDIC by moving portions of your money around to different accounts and different banks.

      People are desperate and Trump is unpredictable. They ‘know’ the Dems aren’t helping them, so Trump might accidentally do it!
