Yes. They want no taxes, no regulation, big govt subsidies.

Rake in as much cash possible while screwing over the consumers and
destroying the planet.

They believe all the world's resources belong to them and they don't want to share.

Trump will give them what they want, but they will have to pay the piper.

Yes it seems there would have to be a tipping point.
What it is I don't know. May be different for each person.

For example the tipping point was reached I believed for South Korean manufacturers here in the US.
They were doing what Trump wanted. Manufacturing done here in the US with American employees,
but some South Korean employees which is to be expected.

But those employees were dragged away brutally in chains on hands and feet.
And thrown into dismal detention centers.
For the Asians this was particularly humiliating and terrifying.
They are a proud people.

Koreans back home were appalled and furious. They have been our strong friends and allies
for many years.

And for the owners who are supposed to pay Trump a big cut of profits as a bribe, is it worth
it to them?

I don't know, we shall see how it all plays out.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
