Trample government operations with ‘doge’ right out of the gate, not only not saving anything but losing after costs.
Massively inflate the deficit with tax cuts for the wealthy.
Send billions to places like Argentina because ‘fuck you I can’ while refusing support for their own population.
Causing the longest shutdown in US government history.
Wreaking havoc in the domestic population creating military-lite environments in cities because of his fear of brown people.

In the last year the STOXX600 grew 35% in terms of USD but only 20% in terms of the Euro.
So in both cases the difference between the Euro and USD accounted for 14%. That’s nothing to sneeze at.
