Who Is Trump Really Working For as the Economy Slides Toward Recession?

The signs of a recession are everywhere, but the Trump administration is burying the data.

Trump claims to stand with working people, yet every major policy benefits billionaires, monopolies, and foreign autocrats. Who is this economy really being built for?

He wants to make money and gather power like the dictators he admires. He is in competition with them as well.
