Idk man. In 2020, when COVID tore through like a drunk bull in Sunday school, everything went to hell. Jobs vanished, mom-and-pop shops folded, and the country barely held on. Meanwhile, billionaires made off with over $2 trillion. That mess didn’t just hurt—it proved crisis could be profitable. They saw it, they learned from it, and now they’re running it back.
Now it’s 2025. The stock market’s flailing, tariffs are snapping down like rat traps, and small businesses are getting crushed. The big boys? They’re riding it out, bleeding slowly, waiting to buy what’s left. Demand’s still there—just fewer people at the table.
This isn’t a natural market movement—it’s a fire sale masked as patriotism. They gut the economy, wait for the fallout, and scoop it all up for cheap.
And politics? It ain’t chaos—it’s choreography. They back the guy who’ll carry the weight, take the heat, and do what needs doing. In return, when it’s time to flip the switch, he gets to play the hero. Jobs come back, markets rise, and he soaks in the glory. Power stays right where it was.
The courts? Shit, they’re being ignored. Tariffs are flying blind. And now we’re eyeing up Greenland and Canada and pushing for peace in Ukraine on the condition we get what’s under the dirt: lithium, titanium, and rare earths. This ain’t diplomacy—it’s shopping.
Maybe I’m crazy. I’m not into conspiracies, but this thing walks like a duck, shits like a duck, and sure as fuck ain’t a swan. And guys like Bill Ackman? They’re not scared. They’re waiting. This isn’t the crash—it’s the clearance aisle.
Like I said in the beginning IDK. I hope I am wrong but I think shit like this article is just for show and to make us say shit like “Look how stupid Trump is, he is pissing off the money” when it’s calculated and planned.
This is what con men do. Life was getting great for almost everyone, but the greedy criminals decided they needed to run the big con.
Well the last one was a naturally caused crisis… this one is man made.
And the one difference is that a cure and vaccine is available right away, unlike COVID. And that is:
Deny the billionaires the ability to profit and control over your lives from crises, through mass organization. Defend your democracy from this hostile takeover by the billionaire elite. De-
A 100% windfall profits tax would be nice.
You’re right.
Add to this the destruction of public service so that they can privatize them. I’m fully with you there and I’m still baffled that media all over the world seem to just ignore that and still search for “logical” reasons.
Anybody who had confidence in him to start with is a moron.
How on earth did he ever have their confidence? He has been seen in business circles as a loudmouthed shyster since the 1980s.
They had confidence he would cut environmental and consumer regulatory agencies so they could exploit consumers/the earth for a quick buck.
Maybe business leaders are not happy about losing profits, staff and going bankrupt. Everything donny touches dies.
Maybe some of us aren’t happy with billionaires interfering in politics. And some of us think that billionaires shouldn’t exist at all.
Why does this title read like someone’s about to fall out of a window lol
