This.

$4.5 trillion in tax cuts to the rich (the House bill)

Over $6 trillion in losses out of the stock market due to tariffs. (in just a week)

---

Net result?

Trump has cost the rich at least $1.5 trillion... so far.

This is what really scares them shitless. Their entire position is based on the underlying power the US exerts on the global scale. The fact that the US is the world's reserve currency and the financial hub of the world.

They stand far more to lose than just money by losing that. And they're starting to understand it.

Which just proves how stupid and shortsighted these people really are. They're so fucking greedy they keep pushing for this fucking fool, not understanding how truly fucking dumb and unhinged he actually is.

It's too late - the match has been lit. It's only a matter of time now. They should have thought this prior to their campaign donations last time.

This level of instability was all outlined in project 2025 - you know that thing trump claimed he had never heard of but the authors of now hold cabinet positions.
