Watching the farce. So much room needed for all the political pigs, there is nothing for the people that actually voted for them. Welcome to the new world.

Trump coin exists to launder bribe money directly to trump from companies and countries. I don't belive his grassroots supporters pumped the value that much with small transactions. Makes more sense that a few big players (TikTok, Putin, whomever) put in the millions. Of course, this is verifiable through the block chain transaction record but I haven't done the work.

Narrator: He did not, in fact, show them the money.

Wow. That was unhinged. This is going to be a crazy four years.

I have literally heard better speeches from de-vocalized chimpanzees who then threw their own feces at the glass as some form of exclamation point.

Buckle up.

I have never loathed a politician as much as I loathe Trump.

I never thought I could have this much hate for anyone as much as I detest Trump (and Musk). I don’t know how you guys can watch this sh1t show.

So tariffs on hold for now, which is good.

It will be interesting to see what executive orders are made today and in the next few days.

I'm guessing the US will more or less be pretty much the same in 2029. A US civil war will not have happened between 2025 and 2029, there won't be any sort of massive collapse of their financial system or market, and the ultra wealthy and rich will continue to run America.

I am still unconvinced that they were ever real.

I think it was a Drumpfian scare tactic and whats more, I'm a little embarrassed that it seems to have worked.

He's like a playground bully who is completely confident nobody would call him on it and punch him in the face. And nobody did.

This seems like a staggeringly obvious negotiating bluff and always was.

I know this is the politics thread, but how long until Musk disagrees with Trump, or vice versa? I have no skin in the game through stocks, but I was thinking of TSLA based on their products and future products, but I am concerned about those two at some point having a fallout then Trump putting the screws to Musk's companies. It just seems inevitable.

That would be suicide for Musk and his companies, so I put the odds of that happening at under 5%. He's not in that circle to try and be "right" or whatever... he's there to enrich himself and the best way to do that is to suck up to Trump any chance he gets and hope that Trump does things that benefit Musk's companies. The narrative from the left that Musk vs. Trump is going to blow up to me feels like that side hoping and coping.
