I agree with "Naomi Klein " Jam the Brand

1. Big admirerer of Naomi Klein; her jam the brand is sooo smart.

Especially appreciate her take on Trump not divesting from his properties/holdings, which makes them targets for depletion by citizen(our)protests as much as Trump's intended baskets for foreign/corporate bribes/slush.

4. And a corrupt and feckless Congress that are "enabling" this stuff, and then running

around trying to create death panels, gutting water safety, food safety, air quality, and blaming the have not's as being the problem................wrong, great priorities ----------

6. Trump and the Repug Shepple in Congress are one in the same, driven only by self enrichment

And their money "theories" are always completely counterproductive to the common good. Often they are simply economically illiterate (vis Ryan, Perry) In the last six months have made clear their corruption, cruelty and consummate greed in caps; Trump's just their mascot along for his own gravy.

I just love Klein's strategy of jamming Trump's brand to deflate his fortune and his name.. Trump's keeping all his stuff with the "blind trust" 'masquerade is a dangerous game to be playing with the public.. He planned to make money hand over fist, but, as she's pointed out, his refusal to divest makes his fortune and brand actually vulnerable to political retaliation instead of just enabling enrichment through bribery. It's a double edge sword and Trump,incapable of dual thinking, never saw that consequence..

If the jam trump's brand really got organized, the Repugs in Congress couldn't protect him from the financial and reputational damage it would cost Trump. Klein's program sure makes me smile.
