Led by a guy whose business and its CFO were convicted of fraud and who bankrupted multiple casinos (where the "house always wins") and a guy who lost more money in the shortest time of anyone in history (Musk's Twitter holdings in the weeks after its purchase). Trump is deliberately corrupting every aspect of government so he and his preferred oligarchs can swoop in and "save" us from the chaos they created - the Putin model, as it were.

My hope that this will put the final nail in the coffin of having a Businessman as president!

Especially a ""Billionaire""!

Won't buyers transition to smaller, less expensive vehicles?

An investor - Adam Khoo - opinion on why Trump is crashing the stock market.
Trump, an idiot?
Trump, a genious?
Trump, an opportunistic bastard?

Not really, the Ford F-150, Silverado and the cheaper RAM are the MAGA favorites. And most of the repair parts come from Mexico.

But deals (under $60K) can be had on the Cybertruck since there are parking lots full of them waiting to be sold with no buyers.
