Ironically as Trump claims he’s not a king, it’s most of the media and commentary class who are treating him as one by repeating each of his idiot decrees as if it’s suddenly law. Eg. “Trump announces 10% increase in Canada tariffs”. He can announce all he wants, it is NOT legitimate law. #nokings

The biggest achievement of this administration is somehow assembling all of America’s smallest men.

Historians: Guys, racial antagonism increases with economic desperation.

Politicians: Ok, cool thanks!

He feels high on being the one riding the moneycoaster and hoping it only goes up and up. But the rest of the economy is also strapped in behind him, due to the wildly irresponsible hypemachine he absolutely helped create.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

“Behold the sparkly of champagne
The crime rate's gone, feel free again
Oh life's a dream with you, Miss Lily White
Jane Fonda on the screen today
Convinced the liberals it's okay
So let's get dressed and dance away the night”

Revisiting lyrics to Kill the Poor (1980) DK were scarily prescient about a resurgent white-supremacy convincing a wealthy liberal elite to cosign atrocities against the urban poor in the name of lower taxes, and then dancing away the night together in their gilded ballrooms… an old story new again.

“Efficiency and progress is ours once more
Now that we have the neutron bomb
It's nice and quick and clean and gets things done
Away with excess enemy
But no less value to property
No sense in war but perfect sense at home”

Kinda wondering if it's certain elites who are the ones who find Trump's bull in a china shop approach appealing

"God isn't *refreshing* to be able to just do stuff while ignoring the whining of the peasants?"
