Well, our dear brand-new President sort of won this most recent election by promising to stir up the international trade pot with, of course, tariffs, the favorite word of certain people.
Well, so far there has been so much push back against tariffs that he's yet to find tarrifs that he can use, for fun and profit.
Musk, meanwhile, is muscleing-in into high security areas, such as the Treasury, and IRS databases, and this will cause no end of trouble for the anti-maga crowd, because of the potential for retaliatory actions. Unfortunately, the sensible people in Congress are too old, and too tired, to put up much resistance. The younger elements of the Democrats have been strongly discredited as 'ultra left', etc, (sometimes by the moderate Dems themselves,) and aren't really knowledgeable enough to fight the technological battles that will soon be taking place.
Unless people in the Trump camp keep a leash on Musk and his teams, there might be nothing left in the US treasury for Trump to pillage after the genie gets his hands on it. (And if all the gold is converted into Bitcoin, we won't know what to do with it, anyway!)
It's possible, because of how dangerous Trump's cronies are, magaboy might be headed—ultimately—to the poorhouse. But it's sad that he'll take a lot of the vulnerable rural, uneducated, unvaccinated poor with him.
