    Makes you think, if they can easily spare 300B how much money did they make from orchestrating all that?

      They as individuals made fuck tons of money. The nation, however, is now saddled with an additional 300b debt.

      If Trump made even just 1B out of this personally, it’s still a net profit for him since he’s not paying the 300B, the US taxpayer is.

      I reckon a bunch of his friends and family made many billions though. Maybe tens. Maybe hundreds.
