America vs the World VI: Pope Idol

I suspect that SpaceX is holding value due to mainly two things, it's not exposed to consumers and it's being propped by the corrupt contracts it is now recieving from Trump's Administration. If the Republicans are removed from office I'm not sure things will hold up well at all for it at that point because anyone else coming in should already be keeping track of all such dealings, all Musk's movements and every Trump appointment to immediately cleanse the entirety of Government of clear Russian assets.

Government contracts and at the moment a completely unique proven reusable rocket design. SpaceX are golden to be honest right now.

Trump threatens 200% tariff rates on EU alcohol unless they drop their own tariff increases

""The European Union, one of the most hostile and abusive taxing and tariffing authorities in the World, which was formed for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the United States, has just put a nasty 50% Tariff on Whisky," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
If the tariff is not removed immediately, Trump said, the United States would soon place a 200% tax on all wines, champagnes and other alcoholic products coming out of France and other EU countries."
