"Affordability is a Democrat hoax! You just have to accept a lower standard of living. While I adorn myself in gold and threaten war and protect every pedophile I can."

I can't imagine why even his ardent supporters think that's a shit message.

    Just gonna leave this here:

    The dictator’s dilemma: The distortion of information flow in autocratic regimes and its consequences

    Abstract

    Humans have been arguing about the benefits of dictatorial versus democratic regimes for millennia. Despite drastic differences between the dictatorships in the world, one of the key common features is the Dictator’s Dilemma as defined by Wintrobe [1]: a dictator will never know the true state of affairs in his country and is perpetually presented distorted information, thus having difficulties in making the right governing decisions.

    Sucks when reality pierces the bubble created by the yes-men around you.

    You can lie to the people again and again. And they'll swallow it, right up until they realize that their bellies are actually empty of food.

    Against real hunger, propaganda is powerless.

    I suppose he's gotten used to his base just believing whatever bullshit he shovels in their direction, and can't understand why it isn't working on the rest of us.

    Trump says affordability is a Democratic Hoax. And while he builds a gold ballroom we need to accept a lower standard of living. So no buying Suzy 37 dolls this year.

    Fucking has lost his mind. All the above real shit he has said.

    I don't understand the problem. I just go to the grocery store and tell them the stock market is doing great, and they let me take anything I want.

    I have to run with my stuff as I leave the store, and often they're yelling and chasing me, but that's all part of the fun!

    I love this Robin Hood Economy!

    So he should look for himself what things cost and how businesses and citizens are doing instead of just listening to the spineless asskissers he's surrounded himself with.

    They are. Watched Krugman on Zeteo today saying there's basically no competent economists left in the Republican gov't. Not that Krugman is some amazing cadre but he's point was it's only sycophants left.

    I will take his idiocy over the next in line any day, he is flip flopping constantly which slows him down from actually accomplishing villainy, while I fear Vance would be incredibly more directed and thus far more vile.
