President Donald Trump’s launch of a nationwide “affordability tour” this week may look to some like an admission that Americans are struggling under the weight of the administration’s tariffs and rising utility and grocery costs—but Trump assured one reporter on Tuesday that he would acknowledge no such thing.
When he says “america” he means himself. When he says “the economy” he means his bank accounts.
I’m not being glib, I’m being literal. L’État, c’est moi. He has merged himself with the state.
He views himself as the sole entity of the state, everything is here to support him. Like kings of old. The kind we used to routinely overthrow or drag out of their castles and test if they were made of cake.
