As Donald Trump took the oath of office on Jan. 20, he was flanked by some of the world’s wealthiest people. The billionaires present that day — including Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg — had never been richer, flush with big gains from frothy stock markets.
And yes this isn’t the most monstrous thing trump has done. Hanging Ukraine out to dry is unconscionable, but this post was about economics. The thing trump promised to be good about and he was believed. He’s nuking our economy from orbit and no one can help us. It’s as though he wants to hurt everyone “beneath” him.
He does. The 2020 election loss was a huge narcissistic injury and, as anyone with a narcissist in their circle knows, he’ll never get over that rejection. Everyone must pay.
Yeah, I know. I’m not saying my problem is the biggest. I am saying that billionaires aren’t hurt by losing even large fractions of their wealth, but us normal people are, in tangible ways
Many good people in Ukraine don’t have that problem anymore, because they’re already dead as a result of Trump’s decisions :/
