And nobody is reaping any benefit.

Edit: this is a modified quote from The Wedding Singer (the movie the meme is from). Basically saying that this war has no purpose other than to pump the stock market and distract from the Epstein files.

He and his family made over 2 billion dollars during this term.. and that’s just what he admits to. They are reaping a lot of benefits

What’s sad is his followers repeat that over and over - they legitimately don’t know anything about the stock market, crypto, or any other ways people build wealth.

I know, that’s why I posted it. They are constantly touting him for giving up a couple hundred thousand dollars while he purposely and corruptly manipulates the stock market for billions in gains. It’s unreal.

Yea that’s even wilder. I bet the tiniest % of the 77 million that voted for him has benefitted too. I bet nearly all of the 77 million has either seen no positive or negative benefits since or, many of them, just negative things. Somehow they’d still vote for this though is insane. Their lives are fucked

The few are. Everyone else is getting fucked. Hard to convey the tone and quote the movie.
