Dismantle Safety Nets
Threatens Invasion of Greenland
Threatens Invasion of Panama
Claimed No Government Assistance for State Disasters

The markets have taken note. The whole world has taken note. The economy will crash under him, the food chain is going to break without workers.

Inflation concerns were just a hook but he could care less how much eggs cost. He gets his and that is all that counts.
He is there to serve the oligarchs and corporations, and they thrive on inflation - it is how they get their bonuses.
