Not bad for a guy who was $485 million in the hole leveraging his assets to stay afloat. There had to be some heavy hitters out there plying money to the media to keep that quiet while Trump infused into the minds of millions that he had one hundred million of his own money to run his campaign leaving him beholding to no one. Now chances are likelier than not he got the money from Peter Thiel.
My own opinion on the crypto situation will be it's a way for him to peddle influence illegally behind the door. Now, as I said, it's just an opinion and even I am still skeptical of that but what leans toward that is the fact the Trump can only take in so much before it become obvious in the face that something illegal is up. He's already jacked three billion plus into Ivanka and Jared coffer, and billions more into his brother Josh investment firm. Without taking it into his own accounts, which would catch the thief red handed, he needs another avenue to go down.
What I think he intends to do, as I said, just an opinion, is decouple jobs from China and put them where his globalist buddies want them to go....but they won't be coming back here for sure. Maybe a select few for national security concerns, as was seen with pharmaceuticals, for instance, during covid. If I had to guess where those jobs will be going, some will be going to places in and around LA when it gets rebuilt to bring some job infrastructure into position there. I highly doubt that area, or any other devastated area's with high end clientele attached close, will be built back anywhere near similar to what it was before, and will be more exclusive to the elites than ever.
My thoughts on it are when they talk about the redistribution of the wealth where the rich get wealthier, which you hear mentioned all the time, there is an angle to that of reparations to poor countries of wealth (not in any way close to the sense of any real wealth, more likely just enough to eliminate hunger, keep a shack over their heads), of that which the elites have always claimed the poverty come at the hands of western civilization. It's a win-win for both sides, the elites will get wealthier off the backs of the impoverished while patting themselves on the back for alleviating their total impoverishment. Trump and his family will reap the benefits for having helped them obtain their goals. In the end he will more than likely go down as the most hated man in the world for all his deceptions, and for that, it had to pay well.
I don't know enough to comment on most of the things you're highlighted here but I do agree that he's really setting his reputation on fire, I just wonder how this affects people around or close to him in these times.
He running the presidency like a mafia boss, I would assume those around him getting rich off what he's doing are fine, the others are more than likely afraid of him.
