It is impossible to capture how catastrophic Trump’s recent moves and statements are for US defense contractors—this will have a huge trickle-down industrial effect given supply chains and subcontractors.

One of the key pillars of authoritarianism is muzzling intellectuals and experts, leaving no one credible to point out faults in the administration's claims. We're on a fast track to dictatorship, and that's not hyperbole in the slightest.
