I love that arguably the two most powerful men in the Western world are also the two dumbest and most immature idiots the world has ever seen. Incredible, really good.

The purpose of a system is what it does which is why the crowning item coming off this current production line is: 2 jabbering nincompoops with too much power and no control.

So... they'll probably not even reconcile it. They'll just say "this isn't who we are" and then deploy a magic umbrella and sail away into the clouds.

Truly embarrassing how far we've fallen as a capitalist society when the richest man in the world cannot enact his will effortlessly.

They were both just too alpha for this to last forever 😔
