Summary

Tech leaders who once backed Trump are fed up as his second term descends into chaos.

Venture capitalists and startup founders complain about erratic policies and feel burned by crypto bro schemes like $Trump coin, which tanked after launch.

Appointing David Sacks as “crypto czar” only fueled suspicions of cronyism, while proposed defense budget cuts leave companies like Anduril and Palantir reeling.

Even billionaire allies like Jeff Bezos are souring as tariffs and economic uncertainty hit their bottom line. “Everyone is annoyed,” says one disillusioned founder.

      It’s an old saying from back in the day (70s to 80s).

      Check out The Wire for reference.

          Bunk said it to a crime lab tech.

          And just found out it was also in Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, book 4, which I read wayyyy back when.

          It’s the world’s smallest violin, playing ‘My Heart Pumps Purple Piss for You’.
