The Worst First 100 Days
Glad to see that multi-millionaire MTG is keeping up the MAGA grift, even in a recession.
Make America selfish, cheap, and cruel.

"Far from being “good on the economy,” there’s a lot of evidence that Trump is basically incapable of understanding abstract entities like “the market” or “the economy.” His entire notion of the world comes down to personal relationships and he personalizes every concept and event. If the market goes down, someone is trying to screw you, personally. If it goes up, and you benefit, it’s because you’re smart. Many commentators are pointing out that he’s establishing something like a patrimonial or personalist regime, which replaces the impersonal rationality of bureaucracy with a network of personal ties and loyalty.
His entire business is based on the notion that his touch is what counts: his brand, and, before that, his businesses worked through what I’ve called “personal arbitrage,” basically leveraging the advantages of an entrepreneurial small businessman against large, impersonal institutions like big banks, financial markets, or the state, which have consistently mispriced the value of his assets. It’s easy to understand why he’d come to the conclusion he’s got some special sauce: if you’ve been counted out so many times and then come back, you might start to think you have some kind of magic power to pull things off, too. He and many of his followers believe he can resolve all contradictions and problems through the sheer fact of his charisma, which, not for nothing, sounds like what a demented dictator and his acolytes believe."

#Book : The Tech Coup: A New Book Shows How the Unchecked Power of Companies Is Destabilizing #Governance

"At least 5,000 attendees of the United Nations’ massive COP29 event, set to take place in the country’s capital of Baku later this month, will do just that. They’ll stay in ultra-luxurious rooms at the Sea Breeze Resort on the Caspian Sea, with access to a seven-kilometer-long beach, over 50 bars and restaurants, and 60 swimming pools.
The topic of the day being climate, there will also be time for symbolism: According to a state news outlet, “heads of Azerbaijani and international companies, politicians, and cultural figures” will plant trees in the resort’s new landscape park.
But what these visitors may not know is that the entire 500-hectare Sea Breeze complex belongs to Emin Agalarov, the former son-in-law of Azerbaijan’s authoritarian president, Ilham Aliyev. Government procurement records show that he received a $5.2-million government contract to host COP29 guests, without any competitive tender process. (The contract was first reported by independent Azerbaijani news outlet Abzas Media.)
This is emblematic of COP29, the twenty-ninth annual U.N. conference on tackling climate change, and the first to be held in a former Soviet republic. In fact, reporters found, nearly every local company named as one of the conference’s “official partners” is owned by the country's ruling family or someone with reported business ties to them.
These COP29 partners, which include a conglomerate owned by the president’s daughters, will benefit from exposure to an international audience, access to a special exhibition zone, and sponsorship opportunities."
"All part of the cynical propaganda to suggest that he is, in every way, special & better than the rest of us. Very little of what he achieves in life will be due to his personal merits, but will be solely nepotistic."

But [#racist] #Trump, who questioned the academic standing of President Barack #Obama, has never released records showing how he got into the school — or how he performed once he was there. And, until 2019, Nolan’s detailed account of Trump’s admission process had not been publicly disclosed.

For decades, #Trump has cited his attendance at what was then called the #Wharton School of Finance as evidence of his intellect. He has said he went to “the hardest school to get into, the best school in the world,” calling it “super genius stuff.” June 2019, Trump pointed to his studies there as he awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to conservative economist Arthur Laffer.
