You should have never been there in the first place.
Couldnât agree more. Itâs what I thought all along, that Trump wouldnât and couldnât hang in there, that the system would puke him out like a bad clam. Heâs too personally chaotic and uncontrollable. The system cannot tolerate that chaos rippling outward. These guys donât want recessions and trade wars and shooting wars.

This Harvard prof Bill George, who was Medtronic CEO pointed out that these big corporations serve several international constituencies, most important stockholders. It was considered way out of character a few weeks ago when Blankfein(Goldman) suddenly rolled out a Tweet Program . As you know Goldman isnât a branch bank like Citi or Chase. Now I wonder whatâs going on there.

Keep in mind that Donnie used his business experience as a positive. Now the captains of industry whose approval he craved are once again rejecting him

OTâs just making a little cinephile joke. Ingrid Thulin is what might have decades ago been called a thinking manâs pinup.

Zowie. That was a different time and a different species of glamor could exist then. I donât think it can now.

Iâm pretty sure that Frazierâs departure for ethical reasons gave Krzanich and Plank the opening they needed to escape their abusive relationship with Trump. (I mean, honestly, who really believes that CEOs of Fortune 500 companies get their positions because of their highly developed moral codes?) The only business that Trump cares about is his own, and while leaders of the business community might be willing to become dignity wraiths for enough profit, theyâve realized there is no benefit to supporting Trump.
Rats, ships, etc.

Iâll bet if you went to the New York auto show youâd see some fine current examples of the style, alongside more up-to-date looking ladies/womenâŚ

Honestly, I think thatâs the reason why heâs in NYC right now. Heâs here because NYCâs 1% told him to get his ass over here so they could have some serious discussions, face to face, most likely about how they want legislative issues dealt with over the Fall.
It wont work, of course, because talking to rump is like, wellâŚ
Once September finally makes itâs way here, I think we should be prepared to rock and roll. The 1%ers from Blue States see the handwriting on the wall; I think the 1%ers from the Red States such as the Mercers think âthe Trump Trainâ is still a thing. The country can burn for all they care.

Well, you may remember Jackie Gleason supposedly hated to fly, everybody knew it, so he had his own train and shuttled back and forth to Miami, got out of going where he didnt want. Then one or two opportunities he couldnât pass up came up, and voila! suddenly his phobia disappeared. His cover was blown.
'Course maybe the CEOs are making Donald an offer he canât refuse. I hope so.

I will make a mental note of that in case I ever want to feel more wistful than usual.

âTrump is a poor personâs idea of a rich person. They see him. They think, âIf I were rich, Iâd have a fabulous tie like that. Why are my ties not made of 400 acres of polyester?â All that stuff he shows you in his house- the gold faucets- if you won the lottery, thatâs what youâd buy.â

Note the only one Trump criticized was the Black CEO who resigned.
