QOTD: Orange Julius Caesar

Talking about his cabinet full of wealthy Wall Streeters and plutocrats at his rally last night:
These are people that are great, brilliant business minds. That’s what we need. That’s what we have to have. So the world doesn’t take advantage. We can’t have the world taking advantage of us anymore. I love all people. Rich or poor. But in those particular positions, I just don’t want a poor person. Does that make sense? If you insist, I’ll do it — but I like it better this way.
That’s Trump populism for you. Very impressive.
The crowd loved it. But then he knows he could shoot into the crowd and kill one of them and they’d still love him. In fact, Trumpcare is a version of exactly that. Only he’s using a Thompson submachine gun.
