Sometimes billionaires who direct the federal government seem to speak to other billionaires.
“It’s time to buy !!!” President Trump wrote on social networks last week, offering an action council which seemed intended for the class of investors rather than ordinary Americans who look at their 401 (K).
Howard Lunick, the secretary of commerce, said that his mother-in-law would not be worried if she did not receive her monthly social security check. Elon Musk, who reduces the staff of the Social Security Administration, described it as “Ponzi program”. The Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, said that the Americans did not look at “daily fluctuations” in their retirement economies.
What if car manufacturers increase their prices due to Mr. Trump’s prices? “I don’t care,” said the president at Kristen Welker from NBC.
Democrats say that the comments show how Mr. Trump and his friends are on the lives of most Americans, and that is what happens when billionaires run the economy. The Republicans have the counter-skill that the highlighting of quotes is a unjust cherry picking, and that in the long term, everyone will benefit from their policies, even if there is pain now. Psychologists say that extreme wealth changes people and their opinions from those who have less.
The one who is right, it is prudent to say that almost no one thinks that the comments have been politically useful for Mr. Trump or adapt for the Americans.
