how to fix everything when he doesn't?
I've heard Fernando Armandi on Stephanie Miller this morning. His take was pretty depressing. He think Trump is trying to crash the economy big time so he can declare an emergency and declare martial law or grab more power.

Sociopathic Narcissists.

(13,545 posts)But no, they don't really get richer.
Their money loses value when the economy contracts. But Billionaires are at a level that so long as there is currency, they're the last to feel the pinch until the resources or stuff they like to surround themselves with aren't available for even love or barter because there just isn't any more artisans or infrastructure to get them what they want anymore.
The richer or more isolated someone is born, the more clueless they are as to what it takes to get what they want.

Also, he has no idea how to do the job correctly. Exactly why Putin picked him and all the other idiots for his cabinet.

(2,113 posts)We've been through 3 crashes in two decades, it baffles me that people can fail to realize this basic principle. I suppose that many gazelles think that it is simply not possible that the lions want to eat them.
I like the way that the Bible says it:
18
Can there be peace between the hyena and the dog?
Or peace between the rich and the poor?
19
Wild donkeys of the desert are lions prey;
likewise the poor are feeding grounds for the rich.
