Trump said something outside a press gaggle that I don’t think enough people caught.
A reporter called him out on the corruption. He gave three responses.
1. I have the right to do it.
2. He’s not stealing that much. A billion or two billion dollars. Not that much money. Classic Trump.
3. People don’t care.
That’s the permission structure. Our collective apathy is what they’re using to justify everything happening in Washington right now.
Please stand up and prove him wrong.
“We never hired anyone from the financial world at Renaissance. We never did. Because they didn’t have anything to add, I didn’t think… We looked at a bunch of these [finance] papers. They were all wrong. Every paper was wrong.”
