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 would he be stressed? He avoided prison and right now not only he is getting richer but he is surrounded by people who suck him off. All the while he plays golf for free.
Worse, he is paying himself to golf with our money at his courses.
