Meanwhile, Lutnick's sons are reportedly buying up tariff refund rights at 20–30 cents on the dollar at Cantor Fitzgerald.
How does that work? Rights to tariffs someone else paid? I don't understand who is paying...
NM, reddit has the answer:
"Basically, while dad was on the news selling the tariffs to the public, his sons were quietly going to companies that were bleeding money on these tariffs, the ones who couldn’t afford to wait for a court case that might take years. And they were offering them a deal. It probably went something like this you paid ten million dollars in an illegal tax. You might get it back someday if the courts do the right thing. But someday doesn’t pay your bills today. Sell us your claim, and we’ll give you two or three million dollars in cash right now. You get liquidity that you desperately need while we take the risk. They offered these poor saps mere twenty to thirty cents on the dollar. It's a classic vulture capital play."

Their father was in business with Jeffrey fucking Epstein. No surprise that the rotten apple didn't fall far from the licentious tree. These people are a cancer.

So we're gonna send, on US taxpayer dollars, a US Navy hospital ship to Greenland to provide medical care for Greenlanders. America first, indeed. His supporters just don't give a fuck. Fuckinghell, we are doomed.

I believe that is fake news/bullshit from Trump as both naval hospital ships are docked in Alabama for maintenance.

I actually thought this story was just a satirical Onion kind of story.

I’m not sure that was the angle he was going for. More first cause, why the hell are we doing this, than Greenland needs this but we need it more.
