Here’s the article from June 2016. Americans saw this and elected Trump anyway… twice.

This is what we’re getting: “During a decade when other casinos here thrived, Mr. Trump’s lagged, posting huge losses year after year.
Stock and bondholders lost more than $1.5 billion.
All the while, Mr. Trump received copious amounts for himself, with the help of a compliant board.”
What’s happening with the US economy is not unlike how things happened in Atlantic City: the burden of any of Trump’s failures will fall on US citizens this time.
Trump’s casino bankruptcy:
“He put up little of his own money, shifted personal debts to the casinos and collected millions of dollars in salary, bonuses and other payments. The burden of his failures fell on investors and others who had bet on his business acumen.”

The money quote: "With these numbers and with the SpaceX and xAI combination happening almost concurrently with the expected IPO, investors must make comic-book heroic assumptions about sustained hypergrowth to justify a $1.75tn market cap."
SpaceX: "Prospective IPO investors would be expected to back a valuation more than seven times higher" than in October 2024.
And people say financial conditions require more easing?
They're valuing this at $1.75 trillion:
"Last year, SpaceX generated an impressive $8bn in Ebitda on $16bn in revenue. However, …xAI, …despite revenues of only $210mn [had] a cash burn of $9.5bn for the first nine months of 2025. "

1/3: Here's what wild about gas prices right now. The past two days have seen the largest increase in gas prices ($0.22/gallon) since 2005, making it one of the fastest increases ever. What's suprising about this is not only the magnitude, but the speed of the passthrough.
This sounds like what a teenage boy playing Fortnite would say.
And Trump will be asking for taxpayer money to directly fund this war too bsky.app/profile/carl...
Sounds like we're being prepared to anticipate a longer war with boots on the ground
