No, it is just one powerful snapshot that supports the view that Trump will bring in policies that not only enrich himself but also the other mega rich players who have had a major influence on the election campaign.

Some commentators - and not just the critical thinking elite of CCMB - have presented Trump and MAGA as champions of ordinary working people, and the antithesis of the Klaus Schwab 'Bond villains' out to control the world.

But it turns out it was just the 'same old, same old' group of rich and powerful players (whether or not on the WEF guest list) who are out to use US governmental power in their own narrow interests - and stuff ordinary, working people. A Trump administration will be their vehicle to achieve it.

Musk recouping all the $ he lost on buying X, with interest?
So what did you want to happen? For the American stock markets to fall?

We probably share (no pun intended) similar views of the role of the markets in society. Personally I will never own a listed share, but I recognize millions do including millions of ordinary people and pension funds and the like. It goes without saying the rich will benefit most because they own the most shares.

But for people to present the dollar doing well and the US markets doing well as a bad thing is a tad absurd tbh, especially given their reaction to markets in the past after Brexit and the like.

As I said. You can't win. Had markets fallen you would have posted an article about how "millions of ordinary Americans see the values of their shares fall thanks to Trump"
