I obviously like Trump as I voted for him the past two times and he’s a hell of a lot better than Biden but -

RFK Jr is the only one that talks about Blackrock, State Street and Vangurd which I think are fundamentally ruining our country. He’s the only one addressing the housing crisis and war on the middle class.

There’s plenty more but that’s just one example.

Their boards control how they choose to invest. The US government should not be involved in that, it's a shareholder decision. Is there plenty of incest between the investment banks and Congress, sure. But shareholders, often the same companies you mentioned, have majority shares to control those boards. Presidents don't have any direct influence over that, nor should they.

The executive can't fix that, only Congress can. The president is only a veto risk. As a reminder, Congress writes and passes laws. The Executive (President) is the last step in the process to sign or veto a proposed law. The *last* step. Well, according to the Supreme Law of the Land, anyway. Not according to judges that can't read English.

The only thing I need to know is he's a democrat. Calling himself an independent doesn't change that. He's way to the right of the loonies out there but still a democrat.
