Wanna bet?

---

Lawrence O'Donnell is almost always worth watching. Today he zeroed in on the possibility of the biggest piece of corruption the USA has ever seen. Who's prepared to bet that it won't happen just as Lawrence says?

A reporter today asked Trump if certain companies may be exempt from the 125% China tariff. The answer? We're looking at it.

Follow-up question: How will you determine which companies to exempt? Answer: I'll do it instinctively.

Immediately it is obvious that the door is open for Trump to exempt his co=president Elon Musk's Tesla (and anyone else who does him a big enough favour. By favour, I mean money, of course)

So, is anyone here brave enough to take the bet that Trump won't gift Musk millions of dollars?

Side bet: Anyone keen to predict how many Trump cronies made themselves even richer by having prior knowledge of the 90-Day pause?

Hard to prove of course, but already there are calls for investigations since the market manipulation was so striking and the potential for vast fortunes to be made just so tempting.

Yes, Steve. Regarding your last paragraph, I just started a new thread on it. Mind-boggling, isn't it?

Steve,
When trump, on his media sites, was saying...

"It's time to buy"

he wasn't talking to the average person, people like myself are finding it hard to go from day to day, and have enough cash on hand, to buy the things we need...he's never been concerned about the working person throughout his past, and surely isn't doing so now...

What he wanted, with the shutting down of those federal government agencies, was to save enough in the budget, so that he could include tax breaks for corporations, and of course his wealthy supporters.

People don't seem to remember how many business adventures of his failed, and how some didn't get paid...

he likes using the words"us" and "we"when he speaks, because he wants people to think they are included in his positives, when actually he doesn't care about them at all.....and many are seeing that now.

Just Some Thoughts
