    “Tariffs open the doors to crony capitalism. The government starts to pick winners and losers,” Ken Griffin, billionaire founder of the hedge fund Citadel, told Politico.
    “I thought that would play out over the course of years. It’s terrifying to watch this play out over the course of weeks,” he added.

    no better eg than

    From 2015 to the present, Griffin has donated $200M to the GOP

    Should a girl save the significant finger for marriage?

    No ****?

    Of course - that is why so many billionaires that had crossed swords with Trump in the past were suddenly donating money to him, suddenly speaking fondly of him or submitting to him. They did not want to be excluded from the 2025-2028 American wealth grift. It will pay to be cronies of President Trump.

    Either Griffin was very naive and did not believe that we were headed to the grift because Trump wouldn't go through with it or Congress or the courts would stop him OR he is the loser in the "Great American Grift Off" and is bitter.

    Either way - yes - this is pretty close to an oligarchy for the next few years at least, and knowing the Democrats - they will probably **** up the mid terms by focusing on something most Americans don't give a **** about at the base level.
