He's talentless and anti-charismatic, his undisguised psychopathy is what makes him useful to Trump.
It also makes him a liability to everyone else once this enterprise collapses (it's going to), and an obvious first target for prosecution if Dems ever grow a spine.

I imagine he'll land a book deal, but I don't see it really selling. I don't see him being hands-off enough to let a ghost writer do anything interesting, it'll end up being Temu Mein Kampf

Even in a fash-friendly future, no one needs or wants him once Trump kicks the bucket.
He's not bright enough to be a meaningful asset for think tanks, he's too off-putting to become a media personality. I doubt he'll be tolerated, let alone liked, in DC power circles--so lobbying is mostly out.

Words mean things. Poor indicates a consistent lack of access to basic necessities.
Not the fact that you wanted a Sprite and you had to get a Chek.
It also doesn’t mean you don’t deserve your Sprite.
You do not have to claim poverty to acknowledge lack or to advocate for more and better.

I have had eviction notices on the door. I have lived in the winter without heat. I have lived without water flowing from the faucet.
We can acknowledge parallel struggles that exist among different classes of people but what we not gone do is act like if you’re not rich you’re poor. No.

Replace profits with unpaid wages. So the premise of trickle down is that capitalists would eventually pay some of the unpaid wages to their workers.
It's absurd.
It's absurd.

I ain't losing weight any time soon. Not with me only getting a disability check of $1k and No food stamps. I have no choice but to eat junk because it's cheaper.
