From last night’s Oscars:
Trump posts on his social media page, which Kimmel read aloud: “Here’s something I just got on my phone. Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars. His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be. Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC “talent,” George Slopanopoulos. He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous.”
To which Kimmel, hosting the Academy Awards, for the fourth time. responds, “Ok now, see if you can guess which former president just posted that on Truth Social. Anyone? No? Well, thank you President Trump. Thank you for watching, I’m surprised you’re still – isn’t it past your jail time?” Prompting cheers and laughs from the audience.
Obviously, it’s Trump’s nature to be combative with his political enemies; in fact, I think it’s fair to say that he’s powerless to do otherwise, regardless of the consequences. This is why he’s still defaming E. Jean Carroll, even as the size of the judgement against him continues to rise.
I guess he’s thinking that this compulsive/obsessive behavior has always world for him in the past. That’s true, and Trump has tens of millions of supports for this and his other neuroses.
Trump’s Strategy of Constant Attack Plays Itself Out Again at the Academy Awards
I’m not a financial pro, but here’s some advice:
Don’t live on a budget. Make a lot of money and live far beneath your means. What value does luxury actually bring to your life, especially if it makes you nervous about running out of cash?
As I told my kids when they were growing up, “Unless you’re completely shallow, showing off your money is an idiotic thing to do. You make false friends and have people glomming onto you to sell you stuff you really don’t need.”
Warren Buffett still lives in a modest house in Nebraska, a state in which he could buy an entire country. Maybe there is something about him and his values that could benefit you.
I see.
There’s not enough land in Spain to support rooftop and ground-mounted solar at a fraction of the cost.
LOL.
It’s possible that right now, there are other civilizations observing the human race, studying us from afar, and noticing our decline into savagery and eventual extinction by turning billionaires into trillionaires.
People say that the principal weakness of human beings is that we can’t plan for the future as a species. Dogs are arguably even worse, though they aren’t consumed with greed. They don’t plot the starvation of millions of other dogs so they themselves can have enough food to last a billion years.
As an elderly man, I’ll be leaving this planet soon, but I won’t cease pondering this until my heart stops beating.
