Frank's Musings

By minimizing the size of the financial gains he and his family have gleaned so far, particularly from his second term in the White House, Donald Trump believes his MAGA supporters will shamefacedly lament they couldn’t more adequately compensate him for his excellence as their leader. He has, after all, demonstrated that, like those of us without superior professional qualifications, admirable intellectual accomplishments, or hundred-billion-dollar fortunes, we can, at least, appear to prevent a complete collapse of our liberal and equitable democracy.

In fact, Trump is willing humbly to settle for being memorialized on Mount Rushmore instead of being given full access to the U.S. treasury. Bless his unpretentious heart, he does realize that stone can’ t simply vanish like paper wealth. His sculpted face would constantly remind the country how much it owes to him for his audacity.
