re: #170 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

But he knows how to manipulate the media and public opinion, and that is all that counts. He also knows how to create the image of wealth and success even when none exist.

And I expect that he is going to get away with economic sleight-of-hand and that the media will aid his outright lying, misrepresentation and falsification of economic indicators long enough to see him re-elected in 2020…

I’m not as cynical as you are. When I was out getting ballot petitions signed, I noticed a lot of people upset with Trump.
