To the untrained eye, great success looks like a massive failure, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That's why they call it the "art" if the deal.

For real though, I'm sure geriatric Garfield and co. went into this knowing they would always find some way to fuck over everyone else and make a small fortune, no matter what the outcome. He's not on the hook for that $300B, we are.

He literally just built a gold plated ballroom and a UFC octagon in his backyard, and his lap doge just became the world's first trillionaire after breaking multiple laws and facing zero punishment, but we can't have cancer research or healthcare bc the national debt is unsustainable. And now he's got an open $300B tab with Iran we have to figure out how to pay off even though most people are living paycheck to paycheck and can't buy groceries.

If I didn't know any better, I would think it's almost like Trump, Musk, and all the other hated public figures in this wrecking crew, were put together to do an unbelievably bad job, while failing upwards at the most inopportune times, in order to further destabilize the United States and the entire globe.

Hey. Don’t insult Garfield by linking him to Trump. Garfield was an intelligent (if hungry) cat!
