Trump’s cabinet is a mixed bag. He has many establishment figures (e.g., Rubio, Bessent, Burgum, Noem) that would be expected to maintain the status quo. He has many outsiders (RFK, Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Musk) who should be expected to shake things up. He also has an unprecedented 13 billionaires in senior positions, who may fight for improvements in the economic lives of most Americans, but certainly don’t experience the economic reality of many of them. Will this group tackle America’s biggest problems and deliver on promises Pres. Trump made on his campaign? Will they lower the cost of living and grocery prices? Early statements made by Elon Musk and Pres. Trump suggest that people may be disappointed, but today is their first day to effect change, so we’ll need to see.

Let me hear how you think about Bernie Sanders Tweet: “This is Oligarchy. Since Election Day, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & Mark Zuckerberg have become $232 billion richer & are now worth $920 billion combined. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. We must fight for an economy that works for all, not just the few.” Trump will deliver for the 1% that’s for sure! But will he deliver on his promises for the rest? What Party does Bernie think will hold Trump to account? The democrats did nothing to help the working class ! The main reason why Trump is now president!

Is the world about to be taken over by Trump and his merry men? Is the power a wealthy few possess dangerous to the rest of us? Today marks the inauguration of Donald Trump in the US. This time around he seems to be adopting a different approach. The last time Trump was in power, many of the 'big dogs' and 'corporate titans' shunned him. This time around, it seems like they're in his inner circle. The 3 richest men in the world, Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg all seem to have the ear of Trump. Should we be concerned? Is this a danger to the rest of the world, as America attempts to monopolise anything and everything? I'm not sure. I think it could be a good thing, particularly if you're an American. However, one thing I am sure of is it would make sense to have a good relationship with the Americans moving forward. Take note Keir Starmer. They are already the biggest global superpower, and that power base only looks like it will increase further from here. In the UK, we're quick to mock The Labour Party and their cabinet and the lack of experience they have in the real world. I think (although it's early) the results are there for all to see. It isn't working. Many in the UK are crying out for the Government to surround themselves with success stories who can assist them in making the Government more efficient, and the country prosperous. Trump is doing exactly that. Would you bet against Bezos, Musk and Zuckerberg failing the US? A new world order is underway, and the message to the rest of the world is 'Join us or be left behind'. I fear the UK may be left behind. China and Russia are rising powers, but the US is about to step up the pace and perhaps show the rest of the world how an economy should be run. What are your thoughts on this next term for Trump? A roaring period of success on the way? Will the UK be able to rebuild the 'special relationship' of years gone by, or will we be left behind? Would love your thoughts. A new chapter in global politics. I for one will be watching this closely. #trump #musk #bezos #zuckerberg #uspolitics #ukpolitics #labour #reform #ukbusiness #ukinvesting #ftse100 TPP Edward Davies

Election Day truth: Our political system isn't just broken. It's designed to fail. The tone is vile. The division is disgusting. Two businessmen with real solutions, one from Warren Buffet, and one from yours truly. Uncle Warren's Fix: Simple. Ruthless. Effective. "New law: Don't balance the budget? Every member of Congress is fired." Watch how fast fiscal responsibility becomes fashionable. ASG’s Solution: Let's talk real numbers: LeBron: $50M to dominate 82 games? Kim K: $100M for Instagram influence? POTUS: $400K to lead the free world?! Make it make sense. We're running a global superpower with C-players because we aren’t paying enough to attract the A-players. If we want the best of the best leading us, the math is simple: 1. President: $20M 2. Senators: $5M 3. Congress: $2M You want better leadership? Pay for it. You won’t feel it on your taxes, but you will feel the improvements living every day in this country. Right now we have politicians being bought by lobbyists for the price of a Tesla because that is how they make money. → Follow for market-based solutions to broken systems. The next generation of leadership will be determined by today's incentive decisions. #Vote #Leadership #ElectionDay #Business

Wednesday wasn’t just a good day for Donald Trump. The wealth of the world’s 10 richest people also soared by a record amount, according to Bloomberg’s Billionaire Index. The biggest gainer was Elon Musk, the world’s richest person and one of Trump’s most outspoken and dedicated supporters, whose wealth jumped $26.5 billion to $290 billion Wednesday, according to Bloomberg. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ wealth grew $7.1 billion a week after defending his decision to withhold the Washington Post’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris. Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison, another Trump supporter, saw his net worth rose $5.5 billion Wednesday. https://lnkd.in/gajYbcNN #investing #billionaires #networth #wealth #record #amount #soaring #trump #win #politics #money #uselections

Now that I've lost my friends on the left, time to do the same on the right. If you expect some changes with Trump, I believe you're in for a rude awakening. First, in his first mandate, DJT didn't do much against the swamp, or the deep state. Then, Joe eventually put the last nail into the coffin of the illusion of democracy: this country has been running on autopilot with ease since he lost his mind. Now DJT is giving proofs of allegiance to the deep state. Would he make it to the election without it ? Not sure ... * JD Vance, the former "Never Trumper" JD Vance's career was made by Peter Thiel. After Paypal, Thiel founded Palantir, the company that works with the CIA from your online activity to profile people and identify potential threats of domestic terrorism, most commonly known as Trump voters. Isn't it ironic? Thiel is much closer to totalitarianism than he is from Libertarianism as he claims. * Jamie Dimon or Larry Fink for Treasury secretary, seriously? I don't believe a second any of both will take a job that can be filled with another spineless, easy manipulable guy to be the face of policies concocted by others. These are really bad signs imho. The uniparty is alive and well. Good luck. [ For his first term, I still give Trump credit for a world more at peace, a better economy and controlled inflation. These are facts. ] ps: I'm happy if you tell me I totally miss it and I'm wrong. I'm looking for different perspectives to build mine. This is theater, entertainment and distraction, certainly obvious now with what unfolded after DJT assassination attempt (which was real), from both sides. This is another thing I can not control anyway. #politics #elections #rnc #dnc

Donald Trump is inaugurated today as the next President of the United States. Love him or hate him, here’s the thing: Your politics shouldn’t guide your financial decisions. If you let political bias influence how you invest, you’re leaving money on the table. And the market doesn’t care how you feel—it only rewards logic and strategy. Examples? • Some people’s disdain for Elon Musk caused them to miss Tesla’s explosive returns last year. • Others’ hatred for Disney could blind them to opportunities if the stock rebounds. A lesson for Inauguration Day: The market doesn’t follow party lines. Under Trump’s first term, renewable energy stocks—despite being politically unpopular— SOARED! Under Biden, “dirty” energy stocks like coal and oil blew away the market. The takeaway? Separate politics from profits or it will not end well for you. What’s your strategy for keeping emotion out of your investments? Let me know in the comments.

The more I think about it, the more optimistic I feel about Donald Trump’s return to the White House. He brings the prospect of radical change, and that offers opportunity. Since the end of the Second World War, the Western world has been on a mostly-steady path. Few international borders have changed in the rich world while liberalism has spread around the world, promoting economic growth. The trend was accelerated by the collapse of the Soviet Union. For decades, English-speaking-world ideas about individual freedom, democracy, minimal business regulation and open markets have prospered. While this has brought benefits to many people, it has also been like a cancer. These ideas are killing us. Western liberalism = environmental destruction, social injustice, and climate change. Now someone promises to throw all the pieces on the global chess board up in the air. Trump, Musk and their team promise something like a new world order, and that could be good. Crazy times probably lie ahead, with much of it unsettling. But there may also be a chance to make the changes that are needed, which have been impossible so far. (I’m not suggesting for a moment that the necessary changes will be introduced by Mr Trump.)

🇺🇸 Is America Now America Inc.? The re-election of Donald Trump has sparked reflection on how deeply business values shape U.S. politics. With unprecedented corporate spending and influence, the U.S. feels less like a nation and more like a corporation, prioritizing shareholder “value” over public good. From big donors like Elon Musk and a deregulated, debt-driven economy, to a prioritization of low taxes and high market growth, it’s clear that Trump’s America embodies transactional values. But at what cost? Concerns about rising leverage, potential rollbacks in clean energy, and immigration policies raise questions about long-term resilience and the country’s economic and social future sustainability. In Trump, some say, we see the “CEO” of America Inc.—but will this bring growth or leave the nation as a “distressed asset”?

2moBiden legitimately was sending trillion after trillion of tax dollars we don’t even have to repay a country who’s state government provided his son and brother with high paying board positions throughout years of their careers instead of even trying to fulfill anything he campaigned on; this iteration of the Democrats are neither democratic in their process nor faithful to their stated policies so we were not really left with any other shot given the winner take all two party duopoly type government.
