The message is: crowd large.
Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift.

You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere.
People poured out to protest not only what Trump has done—and what they fear he will do next.

The media needs to call this what it is:
This is a techno-oligarchic hostile takeover of the federal machinery of the United States of America.
This is not governing. It is lawless. It is not based on principles of electoral representation.
This is a criminal takeover of the federal government.

So now that pump and dump meme coin schemes are legal for politicians to use, (I see there are no consequences) no politician can ever ask for money from working Americans. Especially Presidents. Keep your money if Trump can make billions in a couple days and then call it "peanuts."

Trump enters into this term by profiting on a meme coin. Even if this is not outright money laundering to receive money from foreign entities, it is against the basic obligations of office. This man should not be sworn in if we still have a congress to defend the US. www.doi.gov/ethics/basic...
