This is all about grift and scam. They will offload the buildings at fire sale prices to opaque LLCs owned by the oligarchs and will then rent them back to whatever is left of the government at twice the existing operating cost.

Exactly! Trump is using real estate developer tactics all over the federal government. Reminiscent of how he got Mar-a-Lago for a song after buying beachfront property to devalue it for interested buyers. Make the fed gov a weed lot & get whatever rules you want, for private profit. So so horrible!
Guy on street: Nice ride!
Me: Yeah. You know me. I like to drive the full optimization of my space.

Me: Those are words! They can be in any order. I don't have to use certain ones, and they don't have ✌️mean something✌️! I think we're done here.
they are treating the country like venture capitalists taking over a company....firing the employees, selling off the assets and walking away with the profits
from someone who worked in finance through the GFC, some of the people who made the most money from it were not those in the Big Short, but the vultures that swooped in and scooped up asset for pennies in the dollar after the crash. The same people supporting this government now
I hope someone is watching him or his proxies share activity. They may be purchasing crashed stock that will recover when he comes up with a pretext to drop the tariffs. It's just a thought, but a plausible one.
Orbán is doing a similar thing in Hungary: he will move government offices to buildings owned by his son-in-law, who built them using state subsidies and now will collect rent paid by the state. Win-win (for the Orbán family)
