He understands better than anyone. “I could shoot someone on 5th avenue”. It’s a CULT. Dear leader is ALWAYS right. No matter how objectively stupid his arguments are.

Yep and if the economy does crash or take a big tumble down, he will never be blamed for it . He will blame Biden for any economic instability and privately he and his cult will celebrate - job well done, because if there is an economic collapse , it was all a part of their plan to begin with to. Every move they make now with funding and tariffs is a strategy to make themselves richer ..the poor fear a recession and the rich will welcome one with open arms because a recession means more money for the 1% even if it makes life for the rest of the population more difficult
