The 'anti chtristian bias' seems to be basic B.S, which makes him look wonderful to his more gulible followers.
The water was interesting & might be hilarious if it wasn't a brilliant illustration of his ineptness.
The 'removed references climate change' shows off his ignorance - again.
Increased access for Musk's Doge might be dangerous,& revoking Biden's security clearance is sheer childish spitefulness.
Stopping the task force which had seized assets of Russian oligarchs is interesting; he claims it frees resources for more imrportant things...

Him and his rich mates from all over the world are going to fleece America big time.
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche

As I said, at heart he is a con man, a confidence trickster.

that is the generally the standard trajectory of newly released cryptocurrencies
Take this recent one as well called ZEPH - look at all time on the graph

Massive surge initially then a slow painful decline over time as folks cling to hope... To have any hope of survival they need to have some form of real world utility...

He continues to undo the Constitution. Now it is the separation of church and state. Trying to make America an evangelical Christian nation?
Hmmmm, sounds very Talibanish to me...

Look at the money the Trump family made in trading fees.
""Meanwhile, the Trumps have raked in over $100 million in trading fees as Trump makes moves to curb government efforts to regulate cryptocurrencies. “The president is participating in shady crypto schemes that harm investors while at the same time appointing financial regulators who will roll back protections for victims and who may insulate him and his family from enforcement,” Corey Frayer, who recently left his job as a crypto adviser to the Securities and Exchange Commission, told the New York Times.""

Yes, it does - & that would be very convenient for those in power & their little friends....
If this continues & life gets even harder for those who are struggling then that's likely to lead to widespread unrest & protests. While his nibs & his mates can probably cope with that in the initial stages, the longer those conditions last, the more likely it is to become far more serious, which may be a different kettle of fish.

Even widespread unrest caused by roving gangs of disenfranchised poors looking for rich to eat won't last long, as the big cities will run out of food quite fast and the army will be brought in to quell any serious unrest. Peter Thiel et al have got their bolt holes to retreat to and then return to original home country after the the rebelling poors have reduced their own numbers considerably by their own actions leaving rich deserving being served by survivor poor servants.
They have planned this, see 2025 manifesto, and have anticipated this future beforehand, they actually caused it because why eek out scarce resources to so many useless poors holding out their hands when it's better to be rid of them altogether?!!!, now that you have made your fortune and seen the writing on the wall.

I'm convinced now, that having too much money is extremely bad for our species. Having far too little money doesn't seem to have the effect of increasing selfishness since those who aren't well off tend to be those who help wnerever they can.
Unlike most wealthy people, though of course there are exceptions.
