The more I think about it, the more frustrated I am that the focus of the NY Times article is that Trump is a tax cheat, and not that he is the worst businessman in America, a person who was repeated gifted huge sums of money by benefactors and who flushed it down the toilet.

His voters know he’s a cheater and a liar, but they think he’s smart and strong. They’re fooled by his act. But he is neither. He is vain and stupid, a man who was twice given half a billion (first by Daddy, then by Apprentice Daddy) and lost all of it through vanity spending.

The vast majority of Trump voters are in too deep to admit they made a mistake, but those who are on the fence stick by him because they think he’s smart and effective. But he actually ruins literally everything he touches.

Seriously, there is no one in the country who would have handled being given half a billion — TWICE — as what is basically a gift, and then ended up so broke we don’t pay taxes. That takes a special kind of stupid, the kind that lets 200,000 die of a pandemic.
