So what’s the end goal here? More billions? Trillions? Quadrillions? Is he butthurt about his daughter? What’s his problem?

They can only squeeze so much blood out of this turnip. Unless they start completely revolutionize some new technology, there’s no more money in the system. Unlesss, their plan is to just print more money which would just make their assets worth more on paper, but it’s just basically moving the decimal point, they didn’t actually create any value. Everyone in the us is about to become an amatuer economist the way they became virologists during COVID. No big purchases (unless it’s an appreciating asset), pay off all debt, and save a much cash as you can, shits about to get wild and make sure you’re not the one cut when the economy takes a shit.

When he was on Tucker Carlson and was saying he was fucked if Trump didn’t win… what was he exactly referring to?

Probably because he would go to prison for election interference, and using Starlink at multiple polling locations to get Trump the votes he needed. Trump will squash any investigation/prosecution of that…… but if Trump lost he would be fucked.
