Mob Rules

I’ve yet to hear an explanation on the bizarre tweet that Trump sent regarding saving jobs in China.

It was widely reported that he personally received a half a billion dollars in the transaction.

Read that again.

HE received $500 million!

And they made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm!

I used to know the number of times he’s hit the links during his presidency. We all quit caring at 120 or so visits.

American taxpayers are on the hook for the golf carts for the secret service guys...

...and before you shake your head thinking that’s petty, know it’s money that the government pays to the owner of the golf course.

Yeah.

Him.

“He doesn’t take a salary! He donates it!!”

I once worked for a ironworker foreman who was screamed at in front of his crew because he put a $1 bottle of soda on his expense account. After the owner left I said:

“Why did you take that? Over a $1 bottle of water?”

“I’ll get that dollar back a thousand times over,” he said. “There are other ways to skin the cat.”

The administration is skinning one car after another now.

How do you bemoan a man who works 60 hours a week from taking food stamps to keep his family afloat...

...when you’re stealing more than his annual wage in golf tees?

“That was a private business transaction and we won’t comment on that,” Sarah Hucakabilly said.

Really!

There was joy in that corner when Rudy Giuliani (who swindled front row Yankees tickets for years) announced gleefully that a sitting president can’t be indicted.

No one actually knows if that’s true, but the argument is slowly shifting from “No Collusion” to “I can’t be arrested!”

We all assumed certain things:

The job of presidency can’t enrich you.

Or

No one is above the law.

Basic American principles, right?

Everything is out the window, I suppose, when we are running the show under mob rules.
