As said, this is about racism. Not economics. Rather the opposite; America will be significantly poorer once they’ve eliminated the non-white, non-Christian, non-right-wing population.
Heck, you can’t even argue with such people that an action is in their best financial interests when they’re set on an opposing action that serves their* fantasies *of their financial interests, i.e. cut taxes on billionaires because one day I’ll be a billionaire.
Of course, then you’d finally become a full-blown idiocracy (not that you’re far away from it at the moment) of people who don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground (to steal a phrase from Randy Newman).
Lordy, there are tapes! Former Trump administration official and professional annoying person, Omarosa Manigault-Newman, secretly recorded conversations with Trump while he was President. Those that have been reported on are apparently unremarkable, but there may be more. She also has a book coming out soon, which I can’t wait to miss.
Sadly, sadly I knew this, and I didn’t want to be smug against the US per se. But Trump is such a unique phenomenon and so diametrical against the principles of the USA as I have known them, and he’s not a cunning or even scheming wannabe dictator, no, he’s an idiot with the mind of a toddler, but very effective in sowing confusion and mayhem everywhere and most inexplicable of all, still a majority of loyal party fellows who have been much longer in politics than him and must have still left a lick of sense or at least a single brain cell are allowing this disaster. It’s unreal.
Mrs. Map (born in Asia, holds two degrees from the Univetsity of Kansas) has managed to keep her true status hidden for all these years, until our president outed her just now!
Actually, the idea of her as a spy is rather sexy…
(I have this semi-bizarre image of a process that is the opposite of the LDS ritual of retroactively baptizing one’s ancestors — in this case, it involves retroactive revocation of the citizenship of anyone deemed “unworthy.”)
