      Sometimes I feel like they’re fucking up the economy intentionally. I notice that it’s always enough to fuck over everyone who isn’t rich but never enough to screw up the stock market. Maybe they just want to get rid of the middle class while attempting to make themselves impossible to vote out.

      It’s worse than that, no one (well that he doesn’t hang with) are even people to Trump. They’re devices to toy with and to his delight and give him power over a soon to be known as an ex great natiion. We can quibble about the great part but no denying they were a respected entity, now they’re a laughing stock. Least they paid lip service to being better before.

      He cares superficially if people in general are broke, because then be can’t grift them as easily, but he doesn’t give a rat’s ass about individuals
