The biggest, the best, the most beautiful financial downfall the world has ever seen. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 22 points 7 months ago (2 children) Crashed economies hurt the poor. The rich use their wealth to buy up resources, realestate, stocks, etc. on the cheap and then ride it out in their luxury homes while the rest of us stand in the bread lines. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago What hes aiming for is destabilization. He's already talking civil war. Which I think is his ultimate goal. and the goal of his masters. Civil War 2 on a horrific scale, that knocks America out of any meaningful global position for years, if not decades afterwards. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Strider@lemmy.world 1 point 7 months ago (1 child) Which only works until you tank the country by pissing of your customers (aka other countries) enough and tank your currency.

Enough time that when the next president steps in, the aftermath will really show. Then this egotistic maniac will point at that president and blame them. Never him fault, according to him. But that's narcissism for you. permalink fedilink source parent [–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 5 points 7 months ago There's like a 50 percent chance he'll be dead by the time it really starts. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 child) They said run it like a business. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago That's what he's doing: he crashed most of his businesses. permalink fedilink source parent
