You know your government have a lot of terrorist organisations and propaganda and you should be ashamed of not admitting it, but it's the behavior half the world expects to see when murricans are confrontated with this fact.

There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical/suspicious about that organisation, without being a Trumpist. The US rarely acts internationally out of the goodness of its heart. There's almost always a geo-strategic motive involved. Sometimes that might coincide with doing the right thing, but quite often it doesn't.

Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF): Definition, Examples, and Types

A sovereign wealth fund is a state-owned investment fund used to benefit the country's economy and citizens. Returns from these funds provide additional government revenue.
www.investopedia.com www.investopedia.com


So what happens when there is no oversight and billionaires are running through government?

What do you think the portfolio is going to look like under Trump and who will be benefiting, especially considering that ideology that guides these people?

Trump moves to develop sovereign wealth fund to 'create value for American citizens'

The sheer size of the federal government and the business it does with companies "should create value for American citizens,” Commerce Secretary nominee Howard Lutnick said.

Chuck Grassley and Lisa Murkowski are/seem "concerned" about the Trump administration firing approx. 17 inspector generals from the State, Defense, Transportation, and other departments. Each department has an inspector general whose job is to root out corruption, abuse of power, and fraud without informing Congress. A clear violation of federal law.

www.yahoo.com

Even Republicans are questioning Trump’s ‘illegal’ midnight purge of inspector generals

‘The summary dismissal of everybody, I think, has raised concerns,’ Alaska Republican senator says
www.yahoo.com www.yahoo.com

Gee Chuck, why would a convicted felon President want to fire 17 IGs whose primary purpose was to probe for potential waste, abuse, and corruption in our government agencies? Do you suppose he’s planning a ton of waste, abuse, and corruption? Tell me it can’t be so!

Trump is the Frankenstein's monster you helped build, Chuck... you and the other servile GOP cucks in Congress own this and anything else he does over the next 2 - 4 years.

Grassley: Mr. President, would you mind giving me just a little, teeny weenie bit more info?

Trump: Because I do whatever I want

Grassley: Thank you sir, very well sir. I appreciate your time.

Strongmen/dictators don't need to answer to anyone. Grassley is old enough that he should have known that...So now that Trump is behaving like a dictator, they shouldn't act surprised. His public theater now about what Trump is doing surprises only those who are naive. They supported a wannabe dictator so when he behaves like one, it shouldn't surprise them one bit.

Hey! .... To rob the bank you have to get rid of the security guards! Trump does not want watch dogs...he wants lapdogs

Trump fires 17 IGs wne the law requires 30 days notice and all Lindsay Graham can come up with he only "technically violated the law"? Of that's right white Trumpers don't have to follow no stinkin' laws.

www.newsweek.com

Donald Trump just "technically" violated the law—Lindsey Graham

The GOP senator said Trump "technically" broke the law by firing several inspectors general, but "has the authority to do it."

Segment on project 2025 on CNN. 2/3rds of his EOs are in project 2025.

Who would have guessed that

Well, they couldn't have predicted that he'd need to write an EO to blame a plane crash on DEI & Biden...

And your evidence for this is?

And regardless of whatever evidence you produce, that still does not give the president the authority to move appropriations around or shutter an agency created by Congress. He's not a king.
