Trump's republican regime turned the power voters gave them into a barbaric empire ransacking the country and world

...to fill their own pockets like a smash and grab at a jewelry or phone store.

They believe their recently acquired ability to siphon off the wealth of the nation and the countries they dominate behind the power WE provided them makes they entitled to everything they can either consume or destroy; tearing down our institutions that were meant to serve the public, and consolidating all of government into their own narrow, privileged interest.

Trump orders creation of US sovereign wealth fund, says it could buy TikTok

WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald

Trump signed an executive order ordering the creation of a sovereign wealth fund within the next year, saying it could potentially buy the short video app TikTok.

If created, the sovereign wealth fund could place the U.S. alongside numerous other countries, particularly in the Middle East and Asia, that have launched similar funds as a way to make direct investments with government dollars.

"We're going to be doing something, perhaps with TikTok, and perhaps not," Trump said. "If we make the right deal, we'll do it. Otherwise, we won't...we might put that in the sovereign wealth fund."
