So basically, the bootlickers are being asked to shell out $99 for what is possibly THE worst ever set of Top Trumps cards? Which all feature the Orange Scrotum masturbating his ego as is his usual wont?
The fun part being of course, that commodities become "investments" if [1] they are rarities, and [2] in high demand among rich people. Such as, for example, Van Gogh paintings or Ferrari 250 GTOs. Items of this sort being in high demand among rich people, of course, because they have quality and taste associated therewith. The idea that yet another piece of feculent tat aimed at the Mountain Dew brigade is going to become an "investment" is a fantasy only those afflicted with clinically significant delusional states could entertain.
Of course, the hypnotised, devout followers of the Trump religion, will spoon up eagerly whatever rancid, gangrenous dreck that the Orange Scrotum dangles before them. The lyrically devoted will continue queueing up to lick his ringpiece, no matter how cynically he treats them during his grifting escapades.
I've noticed this about the various bootlickers that gravitate toward assorted right wing shitbags. The bootlickers seem to possess this weird, masochistic desire to be given a no-lube buggering with a razor wire dildo by the various shitstains they worship. They're the ideological versions of Twinks.
Though one peculiar outlier centres upon the UK, whose various right wing ringpieces on sticks tend to prefer invisible grifting, of the sort that involves labyrinthine nests of shell companies in the Cayman Islands. Fuckbuckets such as Jacob Reeks Of Smug, who doesn't court popularity with the unwashed lower orders because he's a wannabee inbred aristotwat and a festering fascist snob. Who probably doesn't even care that much, that his foetid little attempts at "historical literature" are considered a sad joke by people with even an elementary understanding of historiography, let alone tenured professionals in the field. In the case of the likes of The Sovereign Man, these are his excursions into the territory of masturbating his ego, and as such, are almost certainly as funerally boring to read, and historically irrelevant, as Alfried Rosenberg's The Myth of the Twentieth Century. The same pretentiousness and vainglorious self-flattery are characteristic of both.
Our grifters, in the main, have to maintain some veneer of "taste" and "resepectability", no matter how flimsy or transparent, and are restrained from going full-bore kitsch merchants by the need to pretend, in the amusingly diaphanous words of the similarly vapid Franz von Papen, that they constitute "the upper stratum authorised by history". Their pomp and bombast consists in the main of jizzing themselves into a frenzy over Royal weddings. American grifters, on the other hand, jizz themselves into a frenzy at the prospect of being able to take naked, vampire capitalism to its most floridly excremental extremes. Far from hiding their ill-gotten loot in some Caribbean tax haven, the Trumps of this world instead yearn to litter the landscape with monumentally grotesque totems designed to scream "LOOK HOW BIG MY MONEY PENIS IS!!!!" to anyone who can bear assaulting their retinal cells with the resulting edifices.
Of course, we have our share of American style sleazeballs, but they're almost exclusively confined to the corporate arena, where they can be dismissed as nouveau riche by the genuine long-term robber barons.The USA, lacking that sort of history, has yet to acquire the full bouquet of hereditary entitlement that's been a feature of the UK socio-political landscape for 1,000 years.
But of course, I suspect the real motivation underpinning Trump's florid adventures, is financial penis envy. Elon Musk, for example, is worth about 20 times as much as Trump, though he too is now exhibiting signs of terminal affluenza. Jeff Bezos is probably worth 40 to 50 times as much as Trump, and thus far has avoided being a pretentious twat in public, reserving his malignant behaviour to ruthless exploitation of his workforce.
To be honest, however, I expected Trump to exhibit a far more dangerous psychosis, once he was unable to mainline the ego-massaging drug of being US President. It seems he doesn't have even the elementary substance within his being required to be competently mischievous. Unfortunately, some of his followers do, and they're going to constitute an aggressive socio-political cancer for competent administrators to deal with in the USA, quite possibly well into the 22nd century.
