Last time around Trump needed the adoration (and money) of these Wall St types. This time, though, his main source of income is crypto grifting. His job as President is merely a side gig for pocket money.

He thinks tanking the US economy is a power move, because he thinks his crypto will hold steady and he will make even more money in dollars. I don’t think “enough” is a word in his vocabulary. He always wants more, and always at the expense of someone else. I think he enjoys it more when he thinks he is making money by taking it from someone else.

German president Paul von Hindenburg thought that he could “control” Hitler, and that he wouldn’t do the extreme things he promised in his election speeches, and thus brokered his move into the Chancellor’s position in a minority govt. I think we all know how that turned out.

Almost a century later the barons of Wall Street have just had the same “oh shit” moment the German conservatives had in 1933

A more interesting story would be on what Wall Street got right.

Nothing. Saved you a click.
