For example, Truck loads of Gold are being hauled from Fort Knox every few days and loaded onto secret ships who take the gold to secret locations out of the country. I know this isn't the case but the example is intended to clarify the two questions, "What is being looted?" and "What is the DOGE team doing with the loot after they have looted it?"
It’s a fairly comprehehensive and obvious.
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
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.)
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)
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).
