Trump’s takeaway from winning the presidency is that it allows him to charge more for licensing his name to people who sell cheap crap
Remember 8 years ago when it was a huge deal that Trump wouldn’t divest from his businesses? Seems quaint now

Many thanks to readers for pointing me to this. It confirms that the four accounts I blocked over the last two days were all disbots—disagreement bots—programmed to stiffly, politely, but somewhat unreasonably disagree with benign assertions. A foreign op is possible, yes, but also a commercial one.

There should be no billionaires in government—full stop. Someone who is a billionaire is definitionally not in a position to understand the life of an average voter and—more than this and equally definitionally—has exactly the wrong relationship with the ways the American financial system is broken.
There are at least 11 billionaires among Trump's Cabinet picks—and that doesn't include Elon Musk or Vivek Ramaswamy.
