The answer is… you guessed it. YES! It’s Trump’s pure abusive mob boss version of Marxist and Maoist communism. He intends to takeover America with it.

Is MAGA going Marxist and Maoist? Trump’s assault on free-market capitalism
Many business leaders are horrified at the prospect of New York City turning socialist under Zohran Mamdani, but Trump's assaults on free-market capitalism make him look like John D. Rockefeller.Jeffrey Sonnenfeld (Fortune)

Yes. It’s anchored in their stilted perspective of “Laissez-faire” “Ayn Rand” ‘dynamism’. It’s also true — although he’d never be able to grok it himself — that Trump can’t help but bring narcissistic mob boss Marxist Maoist demand to have his fingers in every “deal”.
As for the money supply, seems we are destined for a harrowing near miss, or USA will be Trump’s 7th bankruptcy. He always launders, scams, and defrauds heavily, then leaves others hold the bag.

It seems to me the USA Republic is very much at risk of fracturing. Trump’s very nature of “hit back harder”, “always attack” just about guarantees it. Resources and realignment then would be paramount.
I wonder about two key areas:
1) Counties who voted against Trump in 2016, 2020, & 2024 together produce 70%+ of USA GDP; that’s important.
2) How many active service US Military will refuse to follow the regime’s orders as states resist, withhold Fed payments?

Regardless of what happens, it appears very clear: Putin and Xi will get exactly what they want; a very degraded USA, or destroyed altogether.
Again, resources and realignment of North America would be paramount. Communities, areas who are strong and unified will fair better. Much will depend on new alliances made. Among states, even other nations.

I believe Trump is much more than a symptom. Yes, the equality and trust immune system of our democracy, plus the collective civil/emotional/mental health of our society and politics, was/is very weak and compromised. But Trump - elected with 49.8% of the vote, at 63.7% turnout - is actually a virulent infection, a malignancy metastasized in grievance and cruelty. Trump is a severe and deadly contagion that might very well end America.

What “freeloaders” do you mean? Sounds like you might have some grievances? Or, even be gaslit?
Would a social democracy like Denmark be a country that provides widespread satisfaction for its citizens? From your perspective.
Note: Denmark regularly rates highest in the world for health, happiness, longevity, equality, education, personal freedom, stable democracy…
