What the Broligarchs Want from Trump

I imagine this will reveal whether some of his supporters were really railing against "the bankers" and "big banks", or whether that was a euphemism.

Soros was a funder on some of Trump’s projects in the 2000s and donated $160,000 to his 2016 campaign. The elevation of Bessent as Treasury Secretary is not a different trend.

Cryptocurrency is the financial engine of the broligarchs’ political project. For centuries, states have been defined by two monopolies: first, on the legitimate use of coercive force (as by the military and the police); and second, on control of the money supply. Today’s broligarchs have long sought to weaken government control of global finance.

these people think too small. We need FDIC Insurance for crypto.
