The paper value of the coins owned by Mr Trump himself has also fallen by $50bn. While Mr Trump's own losses have not been crystallised, investors are on the hook after spending heavily to back the Trump coin in the run-up to his inauguration, partly as a show of support but also as a gamble that the token would rise in value. read more

The statistics for the entirety of Donald Trump's time in office are nearly all compiled. As we did for his predecessor four years ago, we present a final look at the numbers. The economy lost 2.7 million jobs. The unemployment rate increased by 1.7 percentage points to 6.4%. Paychecks grew faster than inflation. Average weekly earnings for all workers were up 8.4% after inflation. After-tax corporate profits went up, and the stock market set new records. The S&P 500 index rose 67.8%. The international trade deficit Trump promised to reduce went up. The U.S. trade deficit in goods and services in 2020 was the highest since 2008 and increased 36.3% from 2016. The number of people lacking health insurance rose by 3 million. The federal debt held by the public went up, from $14.4 trillion to $21.6 trillion.

Thic coincides well with the Dedication of the Memorial for the kids and teachers shot to death at Marjorie Stoneman Fouglas High School in Parkland, Floeida. Yay! What a great way to remember them. Second Amendment Summer is an insult to those victims abd their families. Monumental insensitivity to the victitis'sms of gun violence should be Desantis's legacy as Gov. of Florida!

Elon Musk briefly worked illegally in the US after abandoning a graduate studies program in California, according to a Washington Post report that contrasted the episode with the South African multibillionaire's anti-immigration views. But the Washington Post reported Saturday that the world's wealthiest individual was almost certainly working in the US without correct authorization for a period in 1995 after he dropped out of Stanford University to work on his debut company, Zip2, which sold for about $300m four years later. read more

""I think his credit is good," Elon Musk adds."

Interesting considering that the reason he sold out to Putin during the Moscow Miss Universe Pageant in

"Vladimir Putin's Investment in Donald Trump Pays Off Bigly"

"You don't have to take my word for it. Just ask Marco Rubio, who's now Trump's secretary of state. As I've pointed out before in this newsletter, in August 2020, Rubio, then the GOP chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, released a bipartisan 966-page report on the Trump-Russia scandal. It's the most comprehensive public account of Putin's attack on the 2016 election. It concludes that Putin "ordered the Russian effort to hack computer networks and accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak information damaging to Hillary Clinton and her campaign for president" and that he did so "to help the Trump Campaign ... and undermine the US democratic process."

Hmmm? Privatize the USPS? So delivering the mail would now be based on profit? So, the corporation that owns it would dutifully (duty to stock holders not cirizens) make decisions to increase profits like: 1. Raising the price of postage dramatically. 2. Eliminating millions of addresses that don't handle enough volume to generated enough money in postage to pay for all the salaries rents, vehicles, etc. required to deliver the mail.
Proof? Ask Jeff Bezos why Amazon relies on the USPS to deliver millions of "free delivery" packages every day? Amazon's "free deliveries" are only possible because USPS is doing most of those deliveries, and quite well BTW. If the Prime delivery drivers had to find every address as the USPS does, every day, "free delivery" would disappear from our consciousness.
Americans need to wake up! Ego Musk is not trying to save tax dollars, he's trying to eliminate government services or privatize them. If there is no profit then they will eliminste it. Do you have any idea how many old people are living in assisted living homes paid for by Medicaid? So, when that egomaniac slashes Medicaid he'll be dumping elderly people with nowhere else to go into the street. And don't blame their kids who are struggling to pay their rent on a one bedroom apartment. Blame "the richest nan in the world" who thinks he has to pay too much in taxes or, more accurately, Vladimir Putin, who wants to destroy our living standard because, just like successful Ukraine, it creates jealousy and then unrest, in Russia.
Question: What's worse than having a traitor in the White House?
Answer: Having two taitors in the White House!
