As Trump makes nice with Gulf states, Elon Musk isn't the only one to benefit. Musk's brother has deals for his drone co. His mom is headlining conferences there. And his dad has a memecoin to back a Dubai "Musk Institute" to study “space-time travel.”

📌QUESTION: Why doesn't the fucking press make more of the fact that Trump is completely incapable of getting any kind of meaningful legislation passed?
He leans on EOs because he is a polarizing asshole who can't build consensus.
He's not a "deal-maker" he is a constipated, ineffective wannabe king.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe, vulnerable, and alone.
But when we find ourselves surrounded by courageous people and brave institutions, we can more easily find courage inside ourselves.

FYI, if you cannot claim any of the following:
- secured billions in federal contracts
- received inside information on when to capitalize on stock market corrections
- been granted exemptions on tariffs
…then you are NOT the beneficiary of Trump’s agenda.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.
70% of these donations went to Republicans.
Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich.

In the name of reducing fentanyl overdoses, Trump has gone to the extreme—levied tariffs, listed cartels as terrorist groups, and weighed drone strikes in Mexico.
But these proclamations gloss over a glaring reality: The admin is decimating funding for treatment and overdose prevention programs.
