Wait, what!?
Ghislaine Maxwell is being waited on ‘hand and foot’ in a ‘luxury’ prison: a top official said he was ‘sick of having to be Maxwell’s bitch.’
Trump made sure the woman who helped traffic girls for billionaires gets spa treatment in exchange for her silence.

When the world stops trusting your money, the fall comes fast.
• Massive debt & reckless spending are shaking investor confidence
• Foreign banks are quietly moving away from the dollar
• Countries are trading in other currencies—dedollarization is real
The US dollar’s dominance isn’t guaranteed.

The Xiaomi YU7, a Model Y rival, not only outsold Tesla's Model Y in October, but it outsold Tesla's *total* October sales of 26,006 vehicles by 29%.

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite.
But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump may actually be part of that global elite.
Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.
