A hard disappointment coming for the MAGA faithful. May take awhile for Trump to destroy our fairly robust economy by turning it over to Musk, Bezos, Zuckerman, a chosen few others and himself. After they get done plundering, there just won’t be much left for everybody else.

This seems to be the Trump model: a corrupt autocrat supported by a few ultra wealthy oligarchs. Trump and his oligarch friends get even more wealth and power, and it's a big FU to everyone else.
