When businessmen discover politics, they’re often delighted.
They realize that’s a business where you can sell blue-sky promises with no product.
And if the public buys in, jackpot.
Musk
and Vivek are heading up a new federal department that isn’t an actual
department. DOGE. They’re going find ways to cut huge chunks from the
federal budget. That’s shooing fish in a barrel.
Anybody can
do it. Senator Rand Paul’s yearly Festivus report just indicated a
trillion dollars of fed waste. Rand had no supporting fanfare from a
President. No marching bands.
The trick is making the budget cuts
actually HAPPEN. Which is a whole other operation. There are no fish
and there is no barrel. There is Congress, the body filled with crooks
who owe campaign donors big-time. Meaning government $$$ contracts. In
the fed budget.
Of course, Trump has already made a slew of promises before taking office for his second term. In his book, Art of the Deal, he confessed to his gargantuan overriding m.o.
“The
final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people's
fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can
still get very excited by those who do. That's why a little hyperbole
never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and
the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole.
It's an innocent form of exaggeration—and a very effective form of
promotion.”
That’s a promise he HAS kept. To promote. To exaggerate. To find sweet spots and keep hitting them with vows.
Like the Warp Speed COVID kill shot.
