    Why does anyone still bother to read sentences that begin with “Trumps says…”. Whatever it is, you know it’s going to not only be a lie, but a particularly unconvincing lie. The only times he doesn’t lie are when he says something that isn’t true because he doesn’t understand the subject.

    A free press should report such things as “Trump inaccurately claims…”.

    I could also save tens of thousands of dollars by just not replacing my roof or gutters or drainage. At least until it all critically fails, causes severe damage, makes my home unlivable, and costs way more to fix than I ever would have saved.

    But Trump sees these dilemmas as problems for other people, suckers, in his own words. Squeeze assets for everything they’re worth, screw everyone you can, pocket every penny, and rinse your hands when it becomes untenable. Longevity is just moving to the next scam, not actually making an asset or project succeed.

    Doesn’t really work when we’re talking about our only biosphere, but he’s too stupid and demented to realize that and he’ll never see the consequences.

    The government is not a business, not that Trump knows how to run a business, either.

    One of the reasons our world is so fucked today is businesses chasing short-term profit to inflate their stock prices, while offloading any future responsibilities to the future.

    Since a government is not a business, we can actually choose to spend money today to achieve monetary and even non-monetary goals in the future.

    So even if Trump were correct in his assessment of the costs, and he’s obviously not, but even if he were, this would be a piss poor decision.
