Today's Tiedrich rant: top CEOs agree: Donald Trump has completely lost his marbles [View all]

if you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit. that’s always been Little Donny Convict’s thing: gather a dozen or so guys in thousand-dollar suits, sit them down and spin fantasies about magnificent golden towers and beautiful golf courses and luxurious casinos until they’re hooked, and can’t wait to sign their name on the dotted lines. shut up and take my money!

of course, it was always supreme scammery. investors lost their shirts as one casino after another went tits up — but that was part of the plan. Donny always managed to be the one guy to walk away with millions — and then it was off to find the next roomful of eager patsies. baffle them with bullshit. fake it ’til you make it.

unfortunately for Donny Convict, all that magic has gone bye-bye. a couple of days ago, he sat down with a bunch of CEOs and all he managed to do was mystify the shit out of them.

New York Times business reporter Andrew Ross Sorkin: “it was interesting. I spoke to a number of the CEOs who were at that meeting yesterday, a number of whom frankly had been predisposed to former president Trump, and they walked away from that meeting a bit disheartened, a bit questioning — I don’t want to say his mental fitness, but questioning just how meandering. in some cases, one said to me, he could not keep a thought straight. he would go in one direction, and then he would go in another direction, and that there wasn’t necessarily a throughline to the way he spoke, or what even he was talking about. at one point his discussed his plans to bring the corporate tax rate down from 21 percent to 20 percent, and apparently at some point in the meeting was asked about why he had chosen 20 percent, and he said ‘well, it’s a round number’ and I think that unto itself had a number of CEOs shaking their heads.”

oh dear.
