Business mindset etc...

I said it...

One of the podcasts talking heads I listen to made the point that he wants us to believe it but there's no real evidence.

Transactional is back and forth or give and take.

He expects tribute. You give and he takes.

You build on his golf course and he doesn't pay you. You are lucky to be associated with his brand and to exist in his radiating aura.

You shouldn't talk about or push back on his ludicrous promise to screw over your people. What matters is that he made that promise and now it's up to you El Presidente to give up something to make it happen.

In any case, it changed my whole outlook on him.
