I don't know why you are asking about pedophiles and sex trafficing - The Dow is over 50,000 right now, the S&P is at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq is smashing records. Americans' 401(k) savings are booming, thats what we should be talking about.
Thank god I am still able to laugh at something during this administration—if only occasionally.
Crazy how for a guy so obsessed with self image and legacy, Trump is leaving behind a world where he'll be known for making everything shit that it was before him. Amazing. How does this happen?
I'm still holding out for this being some 4d chess move that's way over my head. If he really is this foolish, then why did we all vote for him?
It was clear that Biden was mentally slipping. Even if you were a fan of his general politics, 4 additional years of mental decline while in office was a scary prospect.
And then Kamala Harris was given very little time to sell herself to the voters.
I'm wondering if Trump would have won had the Democrats presented someone more appealing earlier in the campaign.

Sorry guys I don't follow US politics in such depth to get the sarcasm here. Well played by the OP in this context.

Him and his family will be richer and more famous than ever. I don't think he cares about legacy beyond that.
Well there are 3 huge IPOs supposed to go out this year. This hurts liquidity and clogs the pipes.
And then for early stage venture, where I work, it will be harder to raise funds and move new ventures forward. Especially given the extreme shifting of public assets to loyalists.
Overall it’s a bleak time for American exceptionalism. The only companies that are in vogue are AI and Defense. Biotech continues to get hammered because who needs medicine when we can just bomb people with AI right?
In less than a decade, the Dow will likely go over 1,000,000. (Because the Dollar is about to tank) I used to believe the unwinding of the Petrodollar would take a generation, it's now likely to happen this year . Trump's wild late night rants threatening civilian infrastructure gave all the cover Iran needed to take out the infrastructure of any of our allies that have US connections or bases. The effects of those a…

My working theory is that Trump is best understood as an epically tragic character. So desperate to be valued and liked, that he desperately grabs at anything and everything to get the acclaim that, under normal circumstances, would signify that. His besetting character flaws foreclose any possibility of attaining the actual approval he seeks. And so, with his misguided approaches to getting praise and love, the hard…
Like all billionaires, he is an empty void that can never be filled. To borrow a phrase, he is a hungry ghost.
After his first million he needed more, then after a billion he saw that it was not enough, then after becoming president... he is, was, and always will be an empty hole of a person who can never feel satiated and who can consequently never feel genuine happiness.
He is not just a bad person, his is a bad soul.

Interesting reading, but hard to have sympathy when he causes suffering for so many. I also don't think changing his behavior is within reach. His narcissism prevents him from growth and, like the scorpion in the tale, he can't help but sting.
My only point was that so much of this suffering, both for himself and others, could be avoided but for his choices and flaws.

Okay, I'll assume you're serious about it. If so, the only real way you can contribute this is by 1. Voting for anyone running on this platform at any chance you get, no matter their likelihood of winning 2. _Never_ voting for anyone _not_ running on this.

USD is actually stronger these days... I know since I receive USD as payment and convert them to EUR
It's been trending upward since 2025.
So I have no idea what metric you're using but no, this is objectively not the case.
