Clay Jones trump crash

Clay Jones trump crash
From Clay Jones: “Donald Trump spent the weekend in his “billionaire bubble,” as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer likes to say (he’s not always ridiculous), avoiding the stock market crash he created with his stupid tariffs, a ceremony honoring four soldiers who died in a training accident in Lithuania (which Trump couldn’t find on a map), and hundreds of thousands of Americans in every state protesting his administration. Sometimes you want to get away, but Trump didn’t take Southwest. He took Air Force One (sic) to South Florida to play golf…again. So far, taxpayers have spent $26 million for Trump to play golf since his inauguration (sic). He’s on track to surpass the $151.5 million we paid for him to play golf during his first term (sic). Naturally, Trump played on a course he owns so he can collect the money the government spends for him to play golf there. He also made an appearance at a LIV tournament hosted at one of his resorts, which was paid for by Saudi Arabia. Remember when Republicans accused Biden of collecting money from foreign governments without any proof? How many howled this weekend about Trump doing business with the Saudis? Too many to count, right? That was sarcasm.” Read the full Jones at Substack.

There are people like that in the world. There are others, like these two customers of the small bar, the only two customers at this late hour, a fat one, who was a butcher, and a thin, clever, pontificating one, quite proud to be employed in an office, perhaps at the town hall, both of whom, at ten o’clock in the evening, were playing checkers near a large stovepipe against which, from time to time, the butcher leaned. The butcher was sure of himself, because he had money and he didn’t care if he lost the round. The skinny guy thought that the world was bad because an educated intellectual should have an easier life than a pig killer.”

–From Georges Simenon’s Maigret gets Angry (1947).
