Is it just me, or does the federal government now look like a Trump business? Struggling for direction under the impulses of an unhinged CEO, deeply in debt, high manager turnover rate, low morale, countless lawsuits over questionable practices, and sinking brand reputation.

Sure Authoritarian Followers love their "Big Daddy Trump." There is also this weird hero worship of Criminals:Jesse James, Billy the Kid, Sam Bass, Butch Cassidy, the Daltons, Bill Doolin, D.B. Cooper, Bonnie and Clyde, John Dillinger, and “Pretty Boy” Floyd, for instance-who have also been considered as national heroes criminal.

People come in and give you money, with the occasional winner. The games and machines are designed to favor the house statistically over time. Even a lavish building with over the top furnishings would pay for itself at some point. I could be off base, but it seems you would have to be really inept or deliberately tanking to lose as much as he did. Neither would surprise me.

He promised to run the government like a business. He did, a tRump business. Look for bankruptcy.
