Agree.
If you get to a trillion dollars you should have to start the game over from the beginning at a higher difficulty like your parents not owning a bunch of emerald mines or whatever idk that’s just a random example

To review: Trump reverses many tariffs. Trump reverses position on release of Epstein files. Trump appears to be stuck in reverse. Not that that's a bad thing given the damage down in the other direction. Donald, stay in reverse.

Also worth repeating that solar and energy storage are the QUICKEST and MOST COMPETITIVE means of adding more generating capacity to the nation’s grid.
#COP30 kicked off this week and clean energy is already front and center. Simon Stiell’s opening speech acts as our reminder that solar and wind are the world’s answer to ✅ Lower bills ✅ Cleaner air ✅ Climate change 🙌

In Trump's mind, anyone who says "mean things" about Trump is a "traitor" to the country.
But Marge never did. I've never heard her say anything bad about Trump. All she did was call for the release of the Epstein files. That's what Trump is calling her a traitor for.

This 👇 is probably on target.
Donald Trump says the House Oversight Committee should get all files it is "legally entitled to."
That phrase is critical.
I suspect he will use that phrase to block most of the files not already release now that he has re-opened an investigation into Jeffry Epstein.
