Frequent regulars to Trumps hotel bar were making connections and working their magic to become more influential in Trumps circle. I cant think of a worst combination than booze and political posturing when it comes to influencing public policy. Especially within a culture that believes youre good as your word. You know where else you can find these lethal combinations? Country Clubs. Not surprised that Trumps fiefdoms are centered around these environments. Also explains why he wants to eliminate Science and statistical analysis.

Its all about them and they dont give a shit. They actually think the fact that they make enough money to buy a Prada bag means that they are giving someone a job and helping the economy. I was actually told that at a country club. If they dont have the money to buy the a Prada bag, that sales person doesnt have a job. Thats how they justify it. So, they are helping the economy by being filthy rich. They believe it.

(46,736 posts)Unfortunately, they whine about the amount of money they're spending on their Country Club fees and hope to break even or make some profit out of their connections. And those connections sometimes reach into the City government!
