    The thing is, in any somewhat sane and precedented administration, the argument could reasonably have been made that some economic struggles, even a year in, were largely due to polices of the previous administration.

    The problem with this administration is, they literally did everything possible to fuck the economy up, pretty much from day one. Nearly every decision was a bad decision, which had specific and obvious ramifications on the economy. Chaos. Clown show. Chain saw. The current administration owns this shitty economy. They could have litterally sat around twiddling their thumbs doing absolutely nothing but eat hamburders and drink covfefe and the economy would be doing orders of magnitude better than it is now. Instead they decided tariffs and firings and tax cuts to the ultra rich were in order. So now this is all their fault. 100%.

      I would assume that this is planned 100%.

      Project 2025 will probably have some shit in it what else you could expect to happen next.

      I don’t know how this helps the ultra rich when they destroy a country, but there must be sth. they gain from that.

      Maybe they just make fun of you by showing their power to each other.

      Like playing bullshit bingo but actually throwing money at the president to get a bingo.

        They’re looting it as it goes down. For example, Trump sued the federal government for the time his tax records were leaked; federal government - which he controls - settles with him for $$$$$.

        Meanwhile, the ultra-rich are getting more tax breaks so they can get a bit richer. What do they care if the US fails? They probably have money stashed all over the world.

        They have enough money that money doesn’t matter. Making people for whom money does matter have less gives them more power.

        They don’t want to be rich in a developed capitalist country, they want to be lords in a feudal society. The average quality of life plummeting doesn’t matter as long as the highest remains the same and they get more power.
