Softening the Great Intrusions


Trump II brought the worst aspects of private equity underwriting (PEU) to light with his Presidential personal profit machine.  PEUs have long levered political contacts for gross monetary gains and government protection, especially in the tax arena.  However they did so quietly, behind the scenes.  

Their lobbying group even changed names from the Private Equity Growth Capital Council to the American Investment Council.  Private equity became man's "highest calling" and storied newspapers wrote of "policy making billionaires."  On this blog, I suggested otherwise.

Trump II's "blatantly obscene pilfering" is recast as "honest graft" by the Wall Street Journal.  Horse Hockey!  The Presidency isn't supposed to be a "deal makers make deal fees" job.

Trump rug-pulled his meme-coin followers, front ran key strategic decisions across multiple arenas and usurped powers the Supremes had yet to grant him.

All of Trump II's pardoned fraudsters together could not have come up with such a scheme.  
1.  Win a second presidency when you botched the first.  
2.  Do it all in the daylight with taxpayer money in an orgy of financial excess
3.  Conduct the scheme across currencies and using offshore vehicles
Brilliant, if you are Lex Luthor, Dr. Doom, Todd Blanche or Thanos.  

Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren.  Increasingly, more are one and that's why they won't lift a finger to stop Trump II's wealth engorgement army.  For all this, the little people suffer.
