    What makes you think he’s destroying capitalism?

    The Republicans have basically made it so that billionaires can purchase whatever they want at a steep discount.

    This is going exactly as planned.

          Pretty sure you don’t know how being a multi billionaire works. They will leverage current holdings to buy low. And there is no billionaire without a crazy amount of diversified holdings, including easily liquefied investments.

      There was a rather fringey plan to use tariffs to basically force other countries to accept even more American billionaire domination of the global economy. But this only slightly resembles that plan, nobody really knows what Trump is doing now, least of all Trump himself.
