## Resource

Trump’s second term has taken grifting to extraordinary heights with crypto rug pulls, pay-for-play deals, and more board seats for the children of Presidents. Ideas surrounding equity stakes in private American businesses for the American government would make Mussolini proud. What does the future hold for Economic Hitmen representing Western interests when their competitors in China have a more robust value proposition that does not come preloaded with the bloody track record of the American Empire? With the Strait of Hormuz shut down, they decided to pivot to the Western Hemisphere for Trump’s Banana Republic, only to find that after all the bad deals, the republic no longer had any bananas left to squander.
