Trumpism has radicalized a citizen army willing to commit violent acts
January 6th proved this

It is important now that Trump will be President to understand the proposed changes to America's monetary standard Elon Musk Peter Thiel influence on crypto currency bitcoin may bring about
Plus Project 2025 changes to Federal Reserve
Let me explain
Current monetary standard
Both Musk and Thiel are heavily invested in Bitcoin recently Trump and his family entered into bitcoin speculation too
@djrothkopf A thread I did on Trump's mishandling of covid that led to our economic downturn and why we should not put the country back in Donald Trump's hands after Biden-Harris built it back up
Don't forget Trump inherited an economic expansion from Obama-Biden
@djrothkopf Don't forget Obama-Biden inherited an economic mess from Bush and built our economy back up
Why ever put Republicans in charge??
@djrothkopf Why do folks think Republican president's are better for the economy?
Look at our economic history since Clinton left office with a budget surplus
Had Donald Trump handled covid better, our economy would not have been in free fall. His inaction on addressing supply chain issues led to higher inflation and higher unemployment. His tariffs did too.
Donald Trump is transactional, which is a polite way of saying every decision he makes is based on how it affects him personally, especially if it makes him money
Donald Trump has no clue about being a public servant just look at the decisions he made when he was President
A 🧵
Think back to when covid hit
Trump
👉had inherited an economic expansion from Obama, mishandled covid badly, and crashed the economy
👉gave corporations permanent tax cuts
Corporations profited
But
Did the workers?
A 🧵
From 2020 to 2022
The vast majority of companies still don't pay most of their workers a living wage
Company shareholders grew 1.5 trillion richer, while workers got less than 2% of that benefit
Most of the wealth that companies generated went to richest households
As profits soared companies spent 5 times more rewarding shareholders than raising pay for workers
Workers experienced the brunt of companies' losses, while executives and shareholders generally avoided them
