Trump’s treachery (Ad)

I think Trump’s Treasury Secretary is destroying the stock market on purpose. And no one on Wall Street seems to understand why. Like an addict who needs desperate help, Trump’s Treasury pick, Scott Bessent, is putting America through a “detox period” — and I think it’s going to be absolutely brutal for our economy. Why’s he doing this?
