7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

No I assure you he is. Trump is a fascist dictator; he's a true threat in the same way Hitler was a true threat.
You're not seeing it. This man will put the oligarchs in concentration camps if they piss him off. The power dynamic completely changed after Jan 20th; now he is in charge and they are his lackies.
I don't think it's in his interest to do any of that. He does not control the machinery that influences public opinion and he doesn't have money like the richest people in the world have money.
You're not completely wrong, but I think he still needs at least most of them. They help inform him of strategy via data harvesting and the means of selling it to his supporters, trump does not have the ability to do that all on his own.
Here's the thing: He can just seize all that stuff; the left doesn't have a monopoly on seizing the means of production. Of course it's not in his interest to do that, but he can if push comes to shove, like say if they suddenly team up with the liberals. Of course this is much more true in the later stages of fascist dictatorship so in the earlier stages it's more of a symbiotic relationship, but even then I'd consider both Trump and the oligarchy equally threatening rather than the latter being the true threat. It's still imperative to take out the first so you can get to the latter.
What the fuck do you think trump is?
Not a billionaire, that's for sure. Him being so sensitive about it and never wanting to appear less than that, proves it, and it's been the case for decades.
He definitely wasn't in term 1, but all the grifts and that stupid meme coin likely put him over the threshold.
That assumes he didn't need all that to pay back Russian debts immediately.
I wouldn't be surprised if 20 years from now we find out that Trump money directly funded the continued Russian invasion of Ukraine.
