31. Unrestrained capitalism is always a stone's throw away from fascism.

It's logical and inevitable. That yacht owners parade Trumpy flags is no surprise. They're cocksure that Trumpy butters their bread. But that's no guarantee that he's not lying to them.

Come to think of it, Trumpy is DEFINITELY lying to them because lying is Trumpy's bread and butter. Lying is the only tool in his toolbox.
