This prompted me to look up the list of people who attended the Constitutional Convention. It's impressive that they saw the need for the emoluments clause as early as 1787.

Trump is trying to kill us by hiring incompetent boobs, and does anyone want to take bets on when he bankrupts America?

Debt at 100% GDP is pretty close to bankrupt.

So, how exactly did Trump come up with Dr. Brian Christine?

Please let me wake up from this nightmare! Penile implant guy is in charge of public health safety? All the other Trump crap too..

I just wanted to write about Gavin Newson's apparently wise nostrum, “Government is the ultimate monopoly." Poor man to confuse business and governance. A monopoly is a function of markets while in general, government is not in 'business', is not buying and selling things.

Then, by definition, Trump's government is a big monopoly, for profit of course. He's been doing business from the Oval Office since day one, like selling "gold" stuff with his name on each product. No shame, no regrets, no empathy towards the need of the country.

Yes, he has. The conservatives often say "we should run the government like a business." Well, they got their wish and this is what we get, one grift after another! Of course, Donny is not the first #1 leader to do this, and history is full of kings, emperors, and presidents who were grifters and profiteers. Perhaps the most famous is William the Conqueror, the Norman who took over England for his and his companions sole benefit.

What was the vetting process for the head of public health safety, I was told there was stiff competition.

De Santis really seems more and more like a thug from a Dick Tracy type movie like from the 30s or 40s, "yeah boss (Trump) we ll get the land for you, no problem. Just let me know what you want in Florida and I ll get it for you boss. Less mail in, done. A free property. Done. Fewer democrats. Done. Well redistricted done. To Trumps credit, I just applied for a new passport for my daughter and she wanted a passport with Trumps picture stamped inside (as a fun joke) but they werent offering them.... yet.
