Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos are working with Trump for one very simple reason:
They understand that Trump's policies are designed to make the wealthiest Americans even richer.
These three men have become $232 billion richer since November.
Not bad in a couple of months time!

The "peace candidate" Trump wants to force 2 million Palestinians from their homes, give another $1 billion in weapons to Netanyahu, and enact a "plan" to turn the decimated Gaza strip into a billionaires' Riviera.
If this is his "peace" policy, I'd hate to see his war policy.

I’m going to start tonight by stating the obvious: the Republicans control both chambers of Congress: the House of Representatives and the Senate.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.
“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion
The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea.
In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour.
Let's steal those ideas.

Feel deep in my bones that the backlash to all of this is going to be enormous. Not sure how it will manifest and when it will explode into view, but confident it’s coming.

President Trump: You do not stand for law and order when you give a free pass to rioters who attacked the police.
In fact, you are signaling that violence is okay and attacking law enforcement is acceptable behavior.

“The so-called Bishop”
If Trump weren't such a thin-skinned crybaby, he would ignore what the Bishop said and move on, but he can’t help himself.
Our so-called president is a national embarrassment

Collective consciousness waits while Trump's puppet master, Musk, so passionately does the Nazi salute, and meanwhile it feels like the country's lost its mind. For now, I seek joy, silence, hard work, friends and family, and most of all, opportunities to do good. For everything there is a time.
