I donât think Aaron Copelandâs âFanfare for the Common Manâ will be played much in this administration, not that my fellow Midwesterners will notice.
The issue is HOW they made a âfortune.â Trump and his people have done nothing but steal, exploit, and avoid taxation. Itâs in their DNA.
There are so many CEO pimps in Trumps Cabinet that it looks like a white version of The Players BallâŚ
What a shame the mean old IRS wonât let Donald reveal whether heâs actually made a fortune himself, or if heâs just spinning plates.
Get a load of the fat turd in the red hat looking over Trumpâs right shoulder. Thatâs the future of America.
Some of us will
He thinks, if I can pretend to read his empty mind, that the Democrats made him fat and uneducated.
Yes, because even if Time had selected Janet Yellen they still should call the recognition âMan of the Yearâ. You know, cuz women are icky.
,that âgovernment of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.â
If a black man doesnât succeed in the U.S., itâs because he didnât pick himself up by his own bootstraps. If a white man doesnât succeed, itâs Obamaâs fault.
âThese people have given up fortunes of income in order to make a dollar a year, and theyâre so proud to do it, and you watch, you watch whatâs gonna happen. Itâs gonna happen fast, too."
Oh yeah, itâs gonna happen fast - theyâre gonna figure out a way to make some serious coin off of their gov service, if they havenât already.
Another sad victim of the DunningâKruger effectâŚ
The DunningâKruger effect is a cognitive bias in which low-ability individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability as much higher than it really is. Dunning and Kruger attributed this bias to a metacognitive incapacity, on the part of those with low ability, to recognize their ineptitude and evaluate their competence accurately. Their research also suggests corollaries: high-ability individuals may underestimate their relative competence and may erroneously assume that tasks which are easy for them are also easy for others.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DunningâKruger_effect
Hereâs a clue Donald for someone who doesnât have one.
OLIGARCHY
The political term, oligarchy, comes to English from the Greek with its meaning intact - a form of government run by a small number of people such as wealthy landowners, royalty or powerful military figures. If you say that you canât fight the oligarchy, you mean the leaders of such a place. Sometimes the word refers to the few powerful people in charge of a large company or system. A financial oligarchy might try to block reform.
OOPS!
Too late
Actually Dunning-Kruger is probably regression to the mean in terms of peopleâs expectations. More competent people underestimate their abilitiesâthis is also part of the Dunning-Kruger model. The simple explanation is that people tend to think they have about average skills in some area.
Predators Ball ?
Amazing that he took what he could have described as an honor and opened himself up to all kinds of speculation on what Time should have called him.
Con Man of the Year?
Small-Handed Man of the Year?
Lying Sack of Trash of the Year?
YesâŚall of those would be less PC than the term that recognizes that some people in the world arenât men.
translationâŚ
I need to surround myself with lying cheating greedy rat bastards to take the focus of myself so itâs not so obvious about my lying cheating greedy selfâŚ
Spoken like a populist!!!
The wealthy are gods, in Trumpâs eyes. They are superior beings. Welcome to the new age of robber barons.
What have we done? What awaits us? This is an American dictatorship.
Because those rich people will do so much to protect the workers and members of the middle class that Trump said he would help in the campaign.
Just a month after the election and heâs already betrayed his supporters.
