Trump projects confidence on The Apprentice
Although very few programs are out-and-out fake, there is deception at play in every single reality program. The producers and editors are ostensibly con artists, distracting you with grand notions while we steal from you your precious time.
But the real con that drove The Apprentice is far older than television. The “pig in the poke” comes from an idiom dating to 1555: “I’ll never buy a pig in a poke / There’s many a foul pig in a fair cloak.” It refers to the time-honored scam of selling a suckling pig at market but handing over a bag (the poke) to the purchaser, who never looks inside it. Eventually, he discovers he’s purchased something quite different.
Our show became a 21st-century version. It’s a long con played out over a decade of watching Trump dominate prime time by shouting orders, appearing to lead, and confidently firing some of the most capable people on television, all before awarding one eligible person a job. Audiences responded to Trump’s arrogance, his perceived abilities and prescience, but mostly his confidence. The centerpiece to any confidence game is precisely that — confidence.

We don't need metaphors to tell you what you are.
You are a miserable little asshole and a chronic liar and thief.
Go fuck yourself.

SECOND, you demonstrate what you are with every post.
I read a few of yours to hubby yesterday (he takes no interest in this website and knows nothing of your posting history) and the first thing he said was "He's sick. Mentally."
It's obvious to everyone but you.

Everything Donald Trump does is perfect
The most certain of all the certain things that will certainly happen in 2025 is this: Donald Trump, as president, will do everything right. He will tell us this repeatedly. His first month in office will be the most historic first month in office ever and nobody will be able to believe his incredible success, according to him.
Any bad thing Trump does will either: A) Be fantastic, actually, according to Trump; or B) Be someone else’s fault entirely.
At various points in the year, Trump will tell us about a big, tough guy who approached him with tears in his eyes and told him how amazingly perfect he has been as president. And Trump himself will agree with that assessment.

It was a bad year for incumbents
This was the first year ever in which every single election worldwide went against the governing party. Perhaps Kamala Harris did pretty well under the circumstances?

Quote:6ix, your entire life is testimony that Trumptards can survive into middle age despite a long series of stupid mistakes and untruthful behavior that will kill them when luck finally runs out. Because of great wealth, America is absurdly forgiving of foolishness, dishonesty, and incompetence. In a less hospitable environment than America, a country that was not in anyway created by Trumptards, despite their silly certainty that they are the very foundation of all America achieved, you and Trump would have been long dead. You two survive because of the work done by people who are actually nothing at all like you two, who get by without doing anything to keep America going strong.

'Biden's biggest mistake': Columnist rebukes Merrick Garland for 'dithering like a deer'
By Travis Gettys | December 31, 2024 5:00PM ET
https://www.rawstory.com/merrick-garland-trump-2670711125/
A newspaper columnist took Attorney General Merrick Garland to the woodshed over what he expressed was Garland's failure to hold Donald Trump accountable.
The former president was impeached on his way out of office and eventually indicted four times for alleged crimes committed while he was in office, but The Philadelphia Inquirer's Will Bunch said President Joe Biden's attorney general failed to meet the historical moment by prosecuting him sooner.
https://www.inquirer.com/columnists/attytood/merrick-garland-jimmy-car
ter-trump-20241231.html
"Garland, in dithering like a deer in the F-150 headlights of the American Taliban for 20 months on even investigating Trump’s Jan. 6 involvement until that House select committee laid out his case, seemed to misunderstand something fundamental about the American Experiment. That a democracy capable of embracing a demagogue isn’t truly free without the companion of justice. And the justice too long delayed by Garland and his failures was a terminal case of justice denied."
The columnist faulted Biden for misreading the room and choosing Garland in the first place instead of Doug Jones, the former Alabama senator who prosecuted the last Ku Klux Klan members who killed four Black girls in a 1963 bombing at a Birmingham church.
"In those first heady days after Biden actually took office, a craven Garland clearly hoped to burnish his reputation for nonpartisan, down-the-middle fairness by assuming that the twice-impeached, election-losing Trump would fade into political oblivion. He wasn’t alone in that wildly wrongheaded calculation, as other cowards like then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell — who declined to vote or sway others to convict Trump in his post-Jan. 6 impeachment — made the same terrible bet."
The world will never know what would have happened if Garland had named a special counsel to immediately investigate the disgraced former president, who somehow managed to revive his political fortunes, win re-election, and grow so emboldened that he tapped former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to follow Biden's attorney general. A damning House Ethics Committee report accused him of paying a 17-year-old girl for sex, ending his nomination.
"That small victory won’t be nearly enough to salvage the legacy of a 72-year-old icon of old-fashioned jurisprudence who won’t only be remembered by the history books — at least the ones that haven’t been burned by his successors — as President Joe Biden’s worst cabinet pick or even his biggest mistake, period, but as someone whose fecklessness and failure to meet the moment may prove the spark that blew up the American Experiment," Bunch wrote.
In the end, the clock ran out on three of the cases against Trump, who was convicted of 34 felonies in the New York City hush-money case, and he will enter office with broad presidential immunity given to him by the Supreme Court. Bunch blamed Biden and Garland for their failure to act sooner.
"Biden has every right to be bitter that Garland’s noble-sounding mantra of fairness allowed, in reality, for Trump to freely run against him while his son was convicted of a stand-alone gun crime not typically prosecuted. But in the end, Garland was just the leading edge of a cadre of Congress members, elite newsroom editors and publishers, and others who believed that the magic of democracy could fix everything without having to take a stand. He will be remembered as the worst Neville Chamberlain-level of appeaser in a nation that turned out to be chock full of them."

Donald Trump and the Musk business model
By Joel Eissenberg | January 1, 2025 11:49 am

Musk, with an amount of money that was meaningless to him, was able to finance Trump’s campaign, essentially. And all the threats that Trump is now going to issue – ‘I’m going to primary people, I’m going to sue people’ – Musk is going to pay for that, not Trump. And when Trump needs money for anything, he will ask Musk.
Unless Trump breaks it off right now, he’s going to be in this kind of dependent relationship for the rest of the way, because you get used to people giving you money. Trump is a little guy, and Musk is a big guy when it comes to having money. And I think if you were a friend of Trump, you would be worried.
The given rationale for electing the “billionaire” Trump was that his wealth freed him to become a populist and speak the truth on behalf of the middle class and working class. But now, Trump has been exposed as a financial charlatan who is completely beholden to Musk. Musk, born in South Africa to South African parents cannot run for president himself, but he doesn’t need to. He has bought the presidency. On the evidence, I’d say he made a safe investment.
