The Trump administration will seek vengeance against any state that tries to resist the spread of crony capitalism.
The article from *The Nation* discusses the intertwining of Donald Trump's political influence with crony capitalism, focusing particularly on his relationship with Elon Musk. It highlights how Trump's administration has favored big business, exemplified by his interactions with Musk, who has benefited from government subsidies and contracts despite his companies' controversial practices. The piece critiques the Trump administration's approach to governance, which seems to prioritize personal and corporate gains over public interest, pointing out instances where regulatory oversight was lax or manipulated to benefit Trump's allies. It also mentions the broader implications of such cronyism, including the undermining of democratic processes and the erosion of trust in government institutions, as Trump's policies and personal dealings often blur the lines between public service and private enrichment.
