Trump at this point doesn't care and refuses to disavow the possibility of a recession.
Moreno isn't up for reelection for six years. By that time any downturn will certainly have passed. He should get on the same page as Trump and synchronize messaging.

FWIW the US makes some very acceptable "sparkling wines". Or whatever the non-trademarked term is.

conflicts from abroad to play out in the city streets of London or New York. That is the implied contract that immigrants sign when they come to this country and failure to live up to it is richly deserving of deportation—for the good of the rest of us.

I believe Kemi Badenoch gave a speech recently where she stressed that in a nation of immigrants it is critical that new citizens abandon any of the old hatreds they may have held prior to relocation. It is completely understandable why no one in the UK, or the US, would countenance importing

How about a list of major car wash chain executives who didn't start out in the car wash industry?
Look, if you want to play games trying to apply more and more restrictive filters that's not really indicative of anything.

Raj Chetty has never been elected to public office either. The IRS has been letting him strolls through their databases for years.

For you and me it's a lot of money. For somebody in the entertainment biz it's chump change and probably money well spent regardless of actual guilt.

Do you really want me to run down the list of prominent political leaders who started life as bakers or engineers?
Is career choice dispositive in either direction? If you believe so then I think that says more about you and your background than the actual universe.

I think there are jobs, such as taxi driver, where the required skill set is clearly definable. Being able to operate a motor vehicle, for example.
But for most other jobs the factors that lead some to be high achievers are far more mysterious.

Yes, and "Joe Biden needs to have his ass wiped every day" is a cogent criticism of his age related mental issues.

"Where do you get these fanciful ideas? No wonder you think an orange, illiterate reality TV show character with no business sense, huge daddy issues and a penchant for treason might make a good president."

Stating that you need "some" set of skills is meaningless without articulating precisely what those skills are.

Your criteria for what matters as "qualifications" for the job are so arbitrary as to be meaningless. Why not higher math? And here I am obviously eminently more qualified to comment than you.

I suspect that scandals fall hardest on incumbents. To be clear I suspect Badenoch will emerge victorious eventually but why any politician or party wins is always a mix of things rather than any one thing.
