    Casual reminder: the billionaires haven’t lost jack shit. Virtually all of their losses are unrealized, usually in the form of stock. Once everything is finally at rock bottom, they will buy up everything they can (which will still be a lot), values will eventually rebound, and they will have lost nearly nothing while seeing massive gains.

      So many senator insiders shorted their stocks and sold before the tarriffs. MTG was just exposed to be among those who did so

      There are so many vultures waiting to feast on corpses. Stock brokers make out like bandits during crashes, wouldn’t surprise me if something similar goes on with real estate.

    Probably posturing. They WANT a crash. They want cheap stuff to buy up as everyone else loses more. I bet the crash is part of the plan.

      You don’t file lawsuits just for posturing. If that’s what you want, you make concerned comments to the press.

      All this “part of the plan” stuff assumes Trump has a plan. He doesn’t. He is stupid on a subatomic level.

        He has a plan. It’s Putin’s plan.

        Putin obviously gave Trump & Elon a list of everything that makes the USA better than Russia & tasked them with destroying it.
