Casual attitude as markets fall suggests man detached from anxieties of ordinary voters – and surrounded by yes men
After lighting a fuse under global financial markets, Donald Trump stepped back – all the way to a Florida golf course.
Trump had spent the time in between golfing, dining with donors and making insouciant declarations such as “this is a great time to get rich”, even as the US economy melted down.
It was a jolting juxtaposition that prompted comparisons with the emperor Nero, who fiddled while Rome burned.
“He’s at the peak of just not giving a fuck any more,” said a person close to his inner circle.
Why the Hands Off protest unfortunately accomplished nothing. Bet 100 dollars he never even heard it happen. Since he was golfing that day. Bet his handlers made sure of it.
So we need to take the fucking protest to his fucking golf course. 5 million people there would get his attention.
