  1. yahoo news | Trump Is Rooting Around in the Public Trough

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    The article argues that Donald Trump’s second term is fundamentally a scheme for personal enrichment and oligarchic rule, showing little concern for ordinary Americans’ economic hardships. It cites his blunt admission that he “doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation” in discussions about Iran, his frivolous $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS and alleged settlement to avoid audits, and his pressure on the FDA and Health‑Human Services to fast‑track tobacco‑related products in exchange for campaign money. The piece also highlights Trump’s exploitation of public assets—such as a proposed Florida real‑estate deal for a presidential‑library‑hotel hybrid and plans for a UFC arena on White House grounds—while using diplomatic trips to China to mingle with tech and finance moguls who stand to profit from his policies. Overall, the author portrays Trump’s presidency as a cash‑cow for himself and allied elites, prioritizing private gain over public welfare.

  3. S&P 500 is up by more than half since #Biden took office. #Billionaires such as #SteveSchwarzman have doubled their net worth ($50bn in his case). Yet they're going for #Trump with eyes wide open. Edward Luce’s @FT column on "What Croesus wants from Trump".

    PE barons are shameless about presenting themselves as upstanding cits, unfairly maligned. When Obama made an empty promise to tax billionaires in 2010, Blackstone founder #SteveSchwarzman declared, "It’s a war. It’s like when Hitler invaded Poland in 1939."
