If you were ever concerned about the limits of capitalism and the rotting effect it can have on human nature that chooses to be besotted with the sin of greed, look no further.
Enter stage right: Donald Trump, the greatest grifter and conman the White House has ever known, has no boundaries to the depths of marketing himself and his family in order to rake in
sacks of dollars because, well…just because!
Unrequited greed will bend and warp your moral code to the point that it is unrecognizable after it has stained your character with the idea that money is your god and thus its abhorrent values then become your values.
Trump is still pandering his one million dollar gold card that is supposedly to allow you entry into the US of A. We do not know the fine print in this corrupt offering as to what protections it
provides regarding not allowing deviants and criminals an easy flight path to then wander the streets of Disneyland or to take in the sights of New Orleans.
And, only recently we are now learning that Eric Trump Jr., (a chip off the old block) is contemplating funding AI enterprises that may already be in a position to land Pentagon
contracts; and also engage in predictive gambling undertakings.
If there is a loose buck to be made and the Trump family is in smelling distance of that
green paper, rest assured that it is being considered as potential presidential plunder.
If Trump is not shamelessly hawking Bibles (with his own inside inscription) or selling MAGA
fashion ware, guitars, crypto coins, he is bloviating over his demand that an arch of triumph
be established in the D.C. metro area to honor him as the greatest president ever!
With a boundless and perverted ego of himself and his I.Q., Trump never ceases to gaslight us with his tales of his greatness, how many wars he stopped and why he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Never mind that he started a war with Iran…so much for peace.
To bait how Trump would respond to ideas of other money making hustles, I took it
upon myself to propose the following enterprises for Trump’s money madness to act upon:
(1) Create a cruise line called Trump Cruises and sail to only the Nordic countries; to save
labor costs, staff it with undocumented immigrants, who will work for free for five years and then be given the right to become U.S. citizens.
(2) Set up penal colonies for undocumented immigrants across the country and have the DHS pay Trump a per diem rate of $175.00 per person to use those facilities.
(3) Create a national Trump Lotto with weekly drawings of five million dollars, tax free monies.
Each weekly drawing would have Trump read out the winning numbers from the Oval Office.
(4) Sell gold overleaf caskets via Amazon for a flat price of $499.99 (free shipping and handling).
(5) Sell hemp based CBD gummies in a variety of flavors via his X platform for $39.99 per bottle of sixty gummies. Money back guarantee!
(6) Auction his used McDonald’s wrappers with starting bids at $200.00 each.
These super duper ideas would generate untold millions for Trump and family and would place him in the lexicon of super marketers who truly know the drawing power of a well crafted grift.
On another newsworthy note, Elon Musk, the aggrieved South African billionaire, is now blubbering to anyone who will listen to him that “Whites” are an endangered minority who face tremendous discrimination due to their ethnic origins.
Now, ain’t that rich! Here is a person from South Africa whose policy of apartheid he lived under and endorsed by his silence, is now croaking that he believes “Whites” (other than millionaires and billionaires of course), are facing discrimination.
Of course this racial charlatan does not give details or stats to prove his idiocy nor does he
delineate what countries are engaged in this outrageous “reverse” of D.E.I. He simply mourns that if “Whites” do not wake up, they will be a permanent minority.
As you know, White folks do not like being a minority to anything or anyone because in their
DNA, they resolutely believe in the inherent goodness, richness, kindness and superiority of one having white skin over those, “Others”. (Note: LaKeishanna and De’Marrcus, listen up!)
So, with Musk having a solipsistic temper tantrum that pits him against people of color around the world, you can now better gauge his personhood as one which is outdated, racially biased and thus bears watching.
Musk would be the persona type who would support people like George Wallace, Lester Maddox, Bull Connor, Woodrow Wilson, the Night Riders, The Confederacy, Jim Crow and a host of other personalities or programs or laws that would keep Black people in their place.
And yet, he was, at one time, the darling of Donald Trump until they had their falling out.
In closing, the watchword for being “hip” to these fraudsters? Keep both eyes open and do not fall for the slick OKey-Doke from anyone when they want to define who you are.
