I'm pretty the plan for "improve the economy" is just to stop lying about the state the economy he's inhereting from Biden is in and then take credit. That's what every incoming Republican administration in my lifetime has done and people always fall for it.

California fires update: Trump has criticised the firefighting effort on social media saying "why can't the fires be put out, what's wrong with them?"

I guess we can add "does not know shit about firefighting" to the list of things that he does not know about. It also carries with it an unspoken implication that the fire dept is incompetent or criminal in some way, which I'm sure is really want you want to hear from your president whilst you are pulling a child out of an inferno.

He has also been invited by Governor Newsom to see the fires for himself but has thus far declined. Ironically, do you know who has visited California? A specialist aerial fire fighting team sent personally by the President of Mexico. Y'know, those people who Trump hates so much?

And this remember this is in-between criticising the diversity of the California fire dept and blaming the "Green Agenda" for the fires.

Y'know, lol, there was a time when President Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina was considered to be the worst response to a natural disaster of all time and yet...

Expect more of it. A lot more.

Also worth noting most of the people fighting said fire are prison slaves earning a less than $3 an hour.

Trump just put out a cryptocoin, not non-transferable NFTs this time a real one. He and people he control own 80% of the coins and the market cap is already in the billions.

Not in the crypto market myself but everyone who reported on it called it an obvious rug pull. Just another big scam on his supporters.

The more they feed on themselves, the better.

With the number of grifts he's pulled on them I'm surprised 45's fandom has any money left.

I mean, a lot of it is probably money laundering for his oligarch backers.

Like how Republican books sell out massively because the people buying them are bribing the writers.

Well how else are you supposed to make money writing books for people afraid of reading?

So I didn't think of this until I saw people talk about it but the crypto is basically an easy way for foreign governments to launder bribes. After hearing that it's probably the coins primary purpose.
