A reminder that you could levy a 50% tax on the 50 wealthiest people in the world, redistribute the resulting revenue to functionally eliminate global poverty, and most of those 50 people would *still* be the wealthiest in the world.

Don’t let anyone tell you this guy is popular or that the country is trending his way. Just isn’t true. Never was.
This chart shows how much of an outlier Trump is historically. Even Biden, who had the next highest disapproval when he took office, still had a plus-20 differential. news.gallup.com/poll/655955/...
