President Trump said food benefits will only get paid once the shutdown ends, in a post on Truth Social Tuesday morning.

[…]

Zoom in: “SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden’s disastrous term in office,” Trump said on Truth Social, “… will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government.”

    In what world are you living where the dollar is propped up?

    It lost over 10% against all major currencies since Trump took office.

    If you’re planning a holiday in Europe* you’ll notice that the dollar is worth shit now.

      The AI bubble is a bubble, aka not tangible or sustainable gains. The AI bubble also inflates the value of the dollar. When the AI bubble pops the value of the dollar goes down, likely by a lot. These are all fairly safe assumptions so I fail to see how it wouldn’t follow that the the AI bubble is propping up the dollar.
