That's her grandmother in front of her house (where she's lived since 1967). I guess she can watch the F-16s flying overhead from the outdoor recliner. What's a little oppression when you've got a sweet BarcaLounger and a German ride, amirite.

As usual, the Fed did NOTHING! It is incredible that they can “speak” without knowing or asking what I am doing, which will be announced shortly. We have a very strong dollar and a very weak Fed. I will work “brilliantly” with both, and the U.S. will do great...
....My only question is, who is our bigger enemy, Jay Powell or Chairman Xi?
Our Country has lost, stupidly, Trillions of Dollars with China over many years. They have stolen our Intellectual Property at a rate of Hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year, & they want to continue. I won’t let that happen! We don’t need China and, frankly, would be far....
....better off without them. The vast amounts of money made and stolen by China from the United States, year after year, for decades, will and must STOP. Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing..
....your companies HOME and making your products in the USA. I will be responding to China’s Tariffs this afternoon. This is a GREAT opportunity for the United States. Also, I am ordering all carriers, including Fed Ex, Amazon, UPS and the Post Office, to SEARCH FOR & REFUSE,....
....all deliveries of Fentanyl from China (or anywhere else!). Fentanyl kills 100,000 Americans a year. President Xi said this would stop - it didn’t. Our Economy, because of our gains in the last 2 1/2 years, is MUCH larger than that of China. We will keep it that way!
I was unaware that a free market economy and capitalism included Presidential orders via Twitter, but learn something new everyday I guess.

Yea, I don’t know if that’s true. Hopefully but I don’t think he’s gonna ignore all this from Trump

He donated over a Billion dollars in charity.

And his reputation is undeserved. The Koch's are pretty run-of-the-mill rich guys who donate to political campaigns where they see fit. Certainly not the epoch-ending evil people they were demagogues to be.

They were, corporately, the 32nd biggest contributor in 2018, as an example.

Yea they weren’t. But I think there significant push to minimize environmental regulations will have a pretty long term effect

Charles is a dedicated libertarian, David was just along for the ride. Having the resources to help extend libertarian ideas out beyond the riddled brains of sex starved teenage boys has disastrous consequences.

Trump doing a good job of profiting off of hurting the marketing on intermittent spurts. Down almost 400 points today after the Powell speaks, and then Trump goes on twitter rage.

Why hasn't anyone questioned this motive? Feels awful close a routine way to make money.
