I’ve been thinking about trump as a logo. The discontent has been there. He’s just found a way to monetize it - for his personal benefit, of course. How terribly sad that his most successful use of branding (think unsuccessful steaks, wine, university) has been to undermine our democracy.

Speaking of logos, Josh Halsey is selling a coffe mug with his infamous 1)6 photo complete w/ fist raised high in a solidarity with the rioters. Anything for attention and profit!
More profit (and cover) being president than running casinos, a university, prime time contests, or selling steaks and wine. Regulation you can ignore with impunity, free advertisement, and income that gets laundered at government expense. Perfect business model. And you breed an endless stream of customers without ever having to create an actual product. And, finally you get Congress to stand behind you all the way and a Supreme Court to rewrite the constitutionality of the Model for perpetuity. Couldn't be better. Yep, Raskin is write. Institutionalized Authoritarianism.

Entirely unrepentant tassel loafer insurrectionist.
