Oligarch Tariff Response

Rich lose next to nothing compared to Middle Class
Tariffs cause stock market to crash
Rich buy highly depressed stocks
Rich can wait out the storm
Stock market recovers, even if only partially

A billboard in a desert landscape features a large image of Donald Trump wearing a suit and red tie. To the right of his image, text in bold capital letters reads: "TRUMP IS GOLFING. VANCE IS SKIING. ZELENSKY IS FIGHTING FOR HIS COUNTRY." The tweet is posted by a user named Fernando Oliver, Esq.

This is so good.
