  • The way he overperformed in basically every state make manipulation unlikely. We’re talking about a system of 50 state run elections that all have slightly different systems, all of which would require considerable effort to corrupt. Election meddling would at best flip a few states, and Trump won by a bigger margin than that.

    Plus, Musk and Trump’s goons aren’t the geniuses who can pull off something like that. Their incompetency running the government makes it even less likely that they cheated. Thinking they cheated is just a distraction from realizing how effective their message was and how shitty the Democrat’s were. They lost fair and square, and they cannot rely on their enemy to be the only reason to vote for them.





  • Jerome Powell is the chair of the US Federal Reserve, the guys who set interest rates, print money, and run the government bank. Like all government agencies, Trump is trying to take dictatorial control of it in a way no president has. However, Jeromey was a fairly slimy pick for the role in the first place (even if he hasn’t done anything out of the ordinary), so the people acting like he’s some great hero are kinda cringe. The bigger issue is Trump making every institution more dysfunctional in his effort to consolidate power, not that Powell is amazing.
