First on the level of taxation- tax policies that keep taxes reduced for the rich- increasing deficits which lead to cuts in programs that benefit everyone else - Bill
That doesn't answer either of the questions, "What is being looted?" and "What is the DOGE team doing with the loot after they have looted it?"
===========
Second- tariffs, which increase prices on everyday goods, and open up the window for special treatment of Trump favored countries and producers (Pay me 20 million in cryptos and I will exempt you from paying the tariff.) - More Bill
Seems low payoff and complicated but I will grant that it is possible. You did identufy the loot, "crypto payments" and what the DOGE team does with the loot, "The crypto goes onto Trumps crypto wallet.
============
Third - Trump will soon be playing favorites among his oligarchs. He’s already doing this with Musk (“we have to treat our billionaires very well!), and Elon has been running roughshod over the federal government- even gained access to Treasury payment system…… why did he do that? (See your note above re: Ft. Knox) - More Bill
That you believe that my absurd example about gold being hauled off is just jaw dropping but since you offer it, I will admit that you identified the loot, "Fort Knox Gold" and what the DOGE team will do with the gold, "Haul it to a port and ship to a secret location out of the country." That seems unlikely to me but it is your example so I will play along. Complete this sentence, "TPS can be used to successfully loot gold from Fort Knox by......

Then there is Trump’s crypto scheme. Put that together with Trumps stated aim of establishing a Sovereign wealt fund (and stashing it with cryptos) and you have all sorts of possible schemes to line his own pockets, as well as the pockets of his family and favored oligarchs- all at the expense of Uncle Sam, whose initials are US.
His scams during his first term were penny ante to what he can do now. Using the Secret Service as a piggy bank to fund the bottom lines of Bedminster and Mara Lago will pale in comparison to what he seems likely to do now. And this time he’s made sure there are fewer people around him who will be disposed to blowing a whistle or putting a stop to it.
There is no end to the sorts of schemes a dictator will employ to rape his own country, so your feigned innocence in asking that question is pretty stupid, because you’ve SEEN the many ways that dictators impoverish their own countries. There’s really no secret here.
And now we have a president who has been removing the guardrails and impdiments that stand/stood in the way of his attaining absolute power. He has a compliant party that has majorities in both houses, a compliant Supreme Court, a cowed press (in general), and cowed billionaires who dominate America’s information space, and an attack dog Elon who is busy disassembling the federal government in an operation that is illegal and unconstitutional as hell (in spite of Dope’s constant repetition that it isn’t - Final Bill
That all seems rather speculative and generalized to me, things he might do or could do or just an accusation such tearing down America, losing sight of the identifying the actual loot. being looted. Again, what is it that your last point accuses Trump of actually stealing, something that has cash value and can be secretly converted for Trumps personal use. I will give you Mar-a-Lago provided the rates were elevated for no legitimate reason, but please identify the looting that makes jacked up room rates "pale in comparison to what he seems likely to do now". "Seeming likely" sounds speculative to me, is there any actual looting you can identify?
