Okay, here’s a thing you can do that you may find comforting. Felon 47 likes to make up people. He uses a phrase, “a lot of people are saying…” We never know WHO, because he’s just making it up to make MAGA feel like they’re with a group. So do yourself a favor. Insert the word “imaginary” between “a lot of” and “people”. “A lot of (imaginary) people are saying…” See? It’s much more accurate – and it feels better…

Felon 47 is out there telling people he thinks he can run for a third term. Last Sunday, The Drumpfster was asked on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’ if there were plans for him to stay on in a third term as president. “Well, there are plans,” he said. “There are – not plans. There are methods – there are methods which you could do it, as you know.” Actually, no. I DON’T know. The Constitution of the United States of America is pretty specific, “No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice.”

As usual, he accidentally told the truth. “There are plans – not plans.” Do you know what? I’m guessing plans. Really, if you didn’t expect him to refuse to leave office at the end of this term, YOU are the fool. Right now he thinks he can talk everyone into it, but when he can’t, he’ll just invoke his “plans.”

“A lot of people want me to do it,” Donny pretended. Yeah, you and your demons. (A lot of imaginary people want me to do it!” See? Better!) A lot MORE people – real people – DON’T want you to do it – or even try. The vast majority of Americans just want you to go away…

“Only the weak will fail.” That was a post from The Drumpfster trying to buck up work-a-day MAGA as they watch their financial futures melt away. I mean, of course they’re faithful. Obviously, they’re loyal. But as they add up the extra years they get to work, now, while he “resets” the government, they’re likely – quietly, of course – getting a tad nervous. So he offers up some moronic platitude and they loyally bend over, “Thank you, sir! May I have another?”

Here’s the thing. First Felon 47 has plenty of money. MAGA knows this is true – he got it from them. Now, his addle-minded tariffs are taking a toll on MAGA’S retirement funds. They’re nervous, but they’ll let him. If he wants it, he can have it, as far as they’re concerned. They’ll eat dirt or something. It’s true, he’s hurting everyone, not just work-a-day MAGA. But at a certain point, it becomes a different kind of “hurt.”

For instance, according to ‘Business Insider,’ just since the day he “liberated” Americans from all of that pesky money, (Thursday) Elon Musk has lost $11 billion dollars. That’s a lot. But he’s STILL worth $322 billion dollars so I suspect he’s going to be okay. Felon 47’s recession isn’t going to affect him.
Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, has lost $15.9 billion but he’s still worth $201 billion. Felon 47’s recession isn’t going to affect him.
Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, has lost $17.9 billion, but he’s still worth $189 billion. Felon 47’s recession isn’t going to affect him.
Warren Buffet, Chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, “only” lost $2.57 billion but he’s still got $165 billion to fall back on should times get hard. Felon 47’s recession isn’t going to affect him.
Bernard Arnault is the chairman and CEO of LVMH, the world’s largest luxury goods conglomerate. He lost $6.22 Billion but still has $163 billion to work with. Felon 47’s recession isn’t going to affect him.
Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, “only” lost $291 million. Not bad. I guess he’ll be fine with only $162 billion left over. Felon 47’s recession isn’t going to affect him.
Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle, lost $8.1 billion but he’ll manage with the $160 billion he has left. Felon 47’s recession isn’t going to affect him.
Larry Page, co-founder of Google, lost $4.79 billion. He’ll tighten his belt, though, and rely on the remaining $138 billion he has lying around. Felon 47’s recession isn’t going to affect him.
Steve Ballmer, former CEO of Microsoft, lost $2.85 billion. Now he only has $131 billion. Felon 47’s recession isn’t going to affect him.
Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, lost $4.46 billion from his $130 billion net worth. Felon 47’s recession isn’t going to affect him.

Collectively, that’s a lot of money they’ve lost. Collectively, they STILL have a lot MORE money. They, likely, won’t even MISS the billions they’ve lost, accidentally making the case for taxing the rich to make them pay their fair share. I mean, when you don’t even miss it when it goes, why not? Anyway, I guess I can understand how the billionaires are managing to weather the financial storm Felon 47 has conjured.

How about you? How much have YOU lost? How much do you have in your other pocket, to fall back on, just in case? Maybe it’s true. Maybe you just have to “ride out the crash” until he reaches his glorious (mythical?) “other side.” That’s how the billionaires are handling it. Absorbing the loss.

But, I’ll tell you this: if you don’t happen to have billions of dollars to fall back on, or even hundreds of millions (you deadbeat), your ride to the other side might well involve complete ruin…
