During the second year of President Trump's return to the White House, his economic policies are fueling what critics call an "internal economy," where close ties to the White House can lead to huge returns. Trusted associates like Larry Ellison of Oracle and Peter Thiel of Palantir have secured significant deals and contracts, while companies like Apple and Nvidia have gained preferential treatment through concessions or payments. Reports indicate that under relaxed regulations, the Trump family itself has accumulated over $1.8 billion in cryptocurrency assets. This shift toward transaction-based governance has the potential to distort competition and undermine the long-term vitality of the U.S. economy, even as Trump introduces a series of new economic stimulus measures ahead of the midterm elections.
