Billionaires at Trump’s Swearing-In Have Since Lost $209 Billion
As Donald Trump took the oath of office on Jan. 20, he was flanked by some of the world’s wealthiest people. The billionaires present that day — including Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg — had never been richer, flush with big gains from frothy stock markets. Seven weeks later, it’s a different story. The start of Trump’s second term has delivered a stunning reversal for many of those billionaires sitting behind Trump in the Capitol Rotunda, with five having lost a combined $209 billion in wealth, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The period between Trump’s election and his inauguration was a boon for the world’s wealthiest, with the S&P 500 Index hitting several all-time highs. Investors piled into equity and crypto markets, expecting that Trump’s policies would be advantageous to business. Musk’s Tesla Inc. gained 98% in the weeks after the election, hitting a record high. Arnault’s LVMH added 7% in the week before Inauguration Day, making the French magnate $12 billion richer. Even Zuckerberg’s Meta Platforms Inc., which banned Trump from the social-media platform in 2021, gained 9% before the beginning of the new term and an additional 20% in his first four weeks in office. But any expectations that the start of Trump’s new term would continue to fuel market returns have been upended. The S&P 500 has lost 6.4% since he took office, as mass layoffs of government employees and the president’s back-and-forth on tariffs have roiled equities, with the benchmark index tumbling 2.7% on Monday. The companies behind the inauguration attendees’ fortunes have been some of the biggest losers, dropping a combined $1.39 trillion in market value since Jan. 17, the last trading day before the inauguration. Here’s a look at some of those fortunes: Elon Musk (down $148 billion) Jeff Bezos (down $29 billion) Sergey Brin (down $22 billion) Mark Zuckerberg (down $5 billion) Bernard Arnault (down $5 billion) https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/...00-billion
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
So much winning

There's a good chance he was going to go to prison and die a pauper. Not familiar enough with the rests legal woes. They're all willing to pay the trump tax for some reason or another, though. Must be pretty bad.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
So, deporting zillions of immigrants doesn't seem to be a top priority any more even though that's what a lot of MAGAts voted for.
Color me surprised.

Word is that Trump is going to buy a Tesla...'cause that will help fight the boycotts and protests and to show his solidarity with Melon. Trump doesn't drive. What a goof.
He'll probably have it parked in the rose garden after he paves it over.
An appeals court has upheld a lower court ruling which blocked Trump’s attempt to undermine birthright citizenship.
