He's running the country like a business. Like a Casino Hotel business.
I think you're right, he sees the US people as customers rather than employees though.
And a Casino aims to extract as much money as possible from it's customers.
The fundamental flaw is that many see the people as customer or employees rather than the employers.
Under this running metaphor, that'd translate to Communism. Which I absolutely think would be beneficial if we could just adopt it today, but I don't think the western world as a whole is ready for that transition.
Under Capitalism, the best we can hope for is employees
Oh, there’s literally never a fair (or sane) shake under capitalism, especially under the inescapably inevitable “Saturn devouring his young” endgame stage we’re in. Zero arguments there.

In the last few weeks Trump has suggested that someone robbed Fort Knox while Biden was president, and insisted that ‘his people’ be allowed to audit it. He has also suggested that the U.S. establish and invest heavily into some sort of digital coin as a sovereign wealth fund - which would require quickly adding capital into the fund. It’s widely believed that only social security has the necessary funds for that.
The plot here is so cartoonishly evil and stupid that as someone whose country is disintegrating, and will likely not realize peace or stability for the rest of my life, I still can’t help but laugh.
Trump is going to rob the U.S. of its literal wealth, and then gamble away its fiat wealth in a pump and dump money laundering scheme.
