Trump only cares about power and making money. You can make massive amounts of money from stock market volatility, especially when you place bets, cause the chaos (shocks), enjoy the stock pump, and cash out. Rinse and repeat.

Actually, if Trump doesn't care about the USA, he's just enriching himself and his corporate donors. Then more war, more chaos equals more to be made in the stock market fluctuations from the constant shocks he causes and bets on. It's just money, nothing else

Zelenskyy: While our teams are meeting in Florida, US President is having conversation with Kremlin leader responsible for this war. I believe they are simply using our team as a cover...clearly not acting in good faith as a partner. And this, in my view, is a weak decision from strong partners.
