        Steve Bannon did it too not long after, if I recall.

        Only thing is I can believe it. They’re pushing the boundaries of their capacity to gaslight. Testing waters and arrogant in their confidence.

          They were trying to normalize it for a while afterwards. One or more of the right wing Barbies did it later too, maybe Ann Coulter I can’t remember.

        The money and power isn’t enough until society as we know it collapses and techno-billionaires run their their own neofuedalist slave kingdoms because it’s about “competing” with the other billionaires rather than having money. It’s just about some weird psychopathic idea of having to “win” and and have the biggest legacy, no matter how fucked that legacy is
