What bugs me is that it’s not even a good deal. He gives them billions to get back millions…
Good deal for him. He ponied up $0 of his own money.
He’s doing this to stay in power and out of jail or other consequences that could happen if he lost power. Tearing down the east wing is just another weird signal of authority that he wants to show them all. And an excuse for his subjects to show deference to the king.
He ain't giving them his billions. He is giving them our money.
That‘s an oligarchy for you. Look at the size, population, resources and history of Russia and then where they rank globally GDP wise. Oligarchies are unaffordable.
It's not about getting a return on investment, it's about redistributing the tax money from the American workers' labor to the wealthy.
It's Sociopathic Oligarch Socialism.
Rules for Rulers, whether democratically elected, "democratically" elected, or dictators, is the same if your goal isn't to make your country better but is to stay in power.
Find your country's keyholders to power and appease them with money that is supposed to be spent on your country.
