That’s the amazing thing about Trump.
No matter how low the bar is, he always manages to be worse than you could imagine.
I’ve been hoping for his people to see the light since 2015.
They stuck with him when he admitted that Trump University was a scam…
They stuck with him when Mexico didn’t pay for the Wall…
They stuck with him when a million people died of Covid…
I hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
I was living in New York when the Tower first went up. When I was in the area I decided to stroll in and see what the controversy was about. At street level it’s just black glass. Inside it’s all gold with a waterfall. I thought it looked like a big golden toilet.
Trump went on Howard Stern and boasted about barging into the dressing rooms at the Miss Teen USA pageant. He famously perved on his own daughter. This is nothing new
Back when Trump put up his tower, Jackie Kennedy Onassis was famously fighting to preserve New York landmarks like Grand Central Station. Trump’s own architect told him to leave the façade of the building alone, but Trump overruled him. Trump blew the perfect opportunity to get in good with elites because he was too greedy and arrogant.
Bonus- there’s a guest apperance by John Barron!!
Historical context.
Inflation started becoming a problem in the late 1960s. LBJ wanted to have a massive Vietnam War without raising taxes, so he printed money. Nixon ran as a ‘peace candidate’ and then tripled down on Johnson’s policies. For a while, running the steel mills 24/7 to make bombs was popular with the Unions and Wall Street, but when the Arab Oil boycott hit everything went off the rails.
Jimmy Carter hire Paul Volker to run the Fed; Volker’s plan worked but Carter lost in 1980 and Reagan got the credit. Worse, Reagan let the banks print money to fund the ‘go-go’ 1980s.
In 1968, middle class was one income supporting a family of four. In 1992, when Bush Sr. was done, ‘middle class’ was two incomes. During the same time, $1 million went from being a vast fortune to what a rich guy paid for a party.
This is what’s amazing to me.
He went on the Howard Stern show and boasted about barging into the dressing rooms of the Miss Teen USA pageant, talked about how hot his teenage daughter was, and pushed his way into a softcore Playboy video and none of his voters thought there might be a problem.
Oh, sweet innocent child.
Back after 9/11/2001 the GOP pushed two ideas at once. First, that Bill Clinton had missed numerous opportunities to go after bin-Ladn, and that Bush Jr. had only been in office for nine months and couldn’t have know what a threat bin-Ladn was.
The pictures of him perving on his daughter were out there.
He boasted of going into the dressing rooms of the Miss Teen USA pageant
