It’s the art of the deal!

DOGE wasn’t about saving money, that was only the ruse, it was about collecting enough information to fine-tune AI on, so it could be sold to governments - just like Musk’s AI is now. I remember calling it out and posting about it at the time DOGE was constantly in the news, only for (I presume) bot accounts to shoot me down.

Tariffs are not about Making American Great Again, another ruse, instead about insider trading. Manipulating the price of commodities like the reserve, gold. Copper tariffs make a predictable change to its price and attacking Europe / China hugely affects currencies and relevant stock in those markets.

This is where America is heading for. Using the presidency as a position to make more money, not to lead a nation. It has been done subtly before for centuries with politicians taking sizeable back handers for certain favours, but now, this is on a whole new level and there is no turning back. The country is powerless to stop it.

Your world is shaped depending on which states’ bots you read - and they’re so manipulative people will end up believing them,

There is no fixing it. Each American government is about manipulation of the whole country and making more money for themselves and others.
