Fascinating argument by @TimothyNoah that #Trump is working against the economic interests of billionaires and blue-collar workers alike.

"I didn’t see this coming. Trump’s first presidency pampered oligarchs with tax cuts and deregulation. Trump’s second presidency will have more of that, sure, but it will also bring a mismanagement of the economy so grievous that it’s indistinguishable from sabotage…Looking back 40 years, [@adam_bonica] calculates that billionaire wealth grew 57.1% during Democratic administrations and 16.5% under Republicans. That wasn’t because Democratic presidents gave billionaires special breaks; it was because Democrats were superior stewards of the economy."
