@Steve.
I'm not so pessimistic as you guys. Mr. Trump is not going backward, he's going simply in another direction, since I may argue that the previous government was actually going backward with its dystopic views and regulations, many of them blatantly contrary to the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda.
Mr. Trump appears like an active, healthy, strong President, always present, always pugnacious. He's apt to lead the main global superpower. He has ordered to strike the Houthis, a tribal rebel group in Yemen that is blocking one of the two main sea passages in the world. Why did the previous administration almost leave them alone? It's a mystery. It's a serious omission. Just one of many examples.
In other things, Trump may be gambling, like his exacerbated policy of tariffs. That is a source of worry. But the events will show us the outcome.
I would argue that appearances can be deceptive. Divine Mother will use Trump in Her own mysterious ways and if some good can come out of it in the short term then that's wonderful. When the current Trump drama is over and he's dust we will probably understand more of what the current power structure is all about, until then we can only try to enjoy the show.
My superannuation is locked into the US sharemarket so I'm probably somewhat biased as I'm sure I'm losing plenty but won't look for the present moment. The sharemarket was going gangbusters under Biden.
Master was impressed by Hitler's freeing up the banks to lend lots of money and get the German economy booming in the thirties if I remember right. So I wouldn't get too carried away on the back of a lot of Trump rhetoric, Mccoy, as in the longer term I'm sure you will come to appreciate that Trump represents a paradigm of greed, corruption and self-interest that the world needs to move beyond.
There was a very corrupt conservative leader of Queensland in the second half of the 20th century named Joh Bielke-Peterson who stayed in power for nearly 30 years. When he would be getting ready to talk with the press he would tell his staff, "time to feed the chooks." Trump reminds me of him very much.
