Trump is a vicious, nasty old man. But in terms of polices, he is just a puppet for Theil, Musk, Bezos, Zuckerman, et al.
What is good for "his" billionaires will be disastrous for the rest of us.
Let's focus on who benefits from Trump's actions, not his antics.

Over 4.5 years, neither of us had a cold, flu, or COVID-19, nor did we grow a new arm, leg or head. Or begin to communicate with aliens, nor did we see an increase in "chem trials" over the house.

Health professionals did not practice distancing.
Each time I went into an indoor public place, I wore a mask.

I have had 10 COVID-19 shots.
For 4.5 years, I looked after my elderly, very ill mother at home until her death last year. She'd had 7 COVID-19 shots. Also, each fall during that time, we received flu shots.
People visiting the house wore masks and practiced distancing.

I owed $49. on a Capital One card, the minimum payment was $10. While away this winter, I missed that payment by 31 days, it was sent to their credit department. My credit score went from 850 to 695. It is purely a scam for financial institutions to gouge us on interest rates when borrowing.🖕

I recently travelled through Houston, on the way home to Canada from Nicaragua.
I found very little difference between the treatment I received from immigration staff in either country.
One is a full-on family-run dictatorship, and the other is on its way to being one.

ICE posted today that part of their job is to stop "ideas" from entering the U.S.
Perhaps Musk has plans to use neuro-link at the border to catch those with impure, anti-right wing, anti- Nazi focussed ideas?

If folks from Europe and Canada do not want to be imprisoned by ICE at the U.S. border don't travel to the U.S.

CBCNB's Jacques Poitras had a cutting edge, breaking news story this am: a former Liberal party employee lobbied the new Liberal government on an issue before Cabinet. Shocking really. Lord knows what the dogged reporter will discover next.

Now that Elon Musk has not only joined the Trump Train (wreck?) but become its co-engineer, has anyone asked him what he thinks of human-influenced climate change?
