“This is a great time to buy!!!” But only for the gilded gluttons. The soulless swine sans shame, who cannot care that the capital they’re amassing is someone’s retirement, extracted every hour that evil man manipulates the market with another off-the-cuff comment. He knows he’s doing it, selling stocks before every proclamation of a new tariff. Insider trading is illegal for we the people, but not for him, the pleonectic.

We are watching allowing a felon who filed bankruptcy six times to destroy world markets. Has your retirement halved yet? What is Hair Donald doing with the back-and-forth tariff announcements? His latest twist is pausing tariffs on 70 countries, but he won’t say which. Then China’s levies went up more. Oh look, he and his inner circle are trading. They’re transferring wealth from your 401k to their pockets by manipulating the market.
Donald Trump admittedly tanked the market, intentionally. Sold before and bought stock after it plummeted.
We are witnessing a transfer of wealth.

When Trump ran in 2016 with the misleading slogan “Make America Great Again,” it conjured images of things like working one job and earning a living wage. A single income that could support a family. Employer/employee loyalty that culminated with retirement at age 62 with a pension. (Continuing salary.) Remember when free healthcare came with work? I do. Those jobs don’t exist. You’d stand a better chance of sighting a unicorn than finding that kind of situation… unless you run for office.
“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.” ~Johann Woligang von Goethe
President Ronald Reagan gave us trickle-down economics, and the federal tax on Social Security income. This transfer of wealth will eclipse that gift to the rich that killed the American dream.
What can we do without our retirement funds? Drudge ‘til we drop, at a job that might have paid a living wage in the 1960s. You’d need four of those jobs today.
“Retirement with an immediate, full pension is available to Members aged 60 or older with 10 years of service in Congress, or aged 62 with 5 years of civilian federal service, including service in Congress.”

Idiots like Boebert and Marj will collect pensions until death, and we will pay for it. These people want to take our healthcare and Social Security.
What Trump meant by MAGA was:
He already ended DEI, ( diversity, equity, and inclusion) requiring employers to offer equal opportunities to balance race, sex, or other protected characteristic.
He’s trying to put LGBTQ back in the closet.
He is well on his way to completely control the women.
- They’ve taken away bodily autonomy, the right to choose.
- There is a bill in Congress that will disenfranchise 40% of the female population. Registering to vote will require your name on your birth certificate to match the name on your driver’s licence. I changed my name when I got married.
- Cut entitlements, programs we are entitled to because we paid for them. Social Security and Medicare.
There is more, but it’s all in project 2025, the manifesto WE TRIED TO WARN PEOPLE ABOUT. I’d rather not have been proven right… AGAIN.
In my last post, if you made it to the end, you read California Governor Gavin Newsom’s plans to make trade agreements for his state without Trump’s levies. I said other blue states would follow suit, and Illinois Governor Pritzker has given me permission to say “I told you so.” He signed a trade deal with the UK.

Trump wants a $90 million military parade (North Korea style) for his birthday in June. We have paid $30 million for his golf habit since January 20. They splurge on themselves while pinching our discontinued pennies. Every day they take one step closer to their end goal, to steal Social Security and healthcare. Individuals catch wind of it and grumble, then Trump denies it and people believe him. Our money is no object for Trump, who has spent $30 million tax dollars on golf, since January 20.
If you have been blessed with healthcare, my advice is to make every medical appointment you’ve postponed. Do it now. They’re after healthcare, and just like we never thought, they’d take away women’s freedom of choice because they will eventually succeed. Expect the worst because it’s coming.
