It’s also interesting to think of the stocks that the various oligarchs and politicians control or own as a backdoor for institutional capture. You want Trump on your side and his administration making decisions that benefit you and your companies? Easy - just buy some of his BS stock and use it as leverage. You won’t even have to push it - he’ll do what you want because that’s how his underdeveloped brain perceives existence - as a series of quid pro quo agreements.
Of course, it’s not just stocks. He’s created so many other avenues to bribe him. It’s bonkers.
Thank you - well explained.
