I plan to keep using it for sometime as it reflects two things I think needs to be stress in \u201cDonny 2 Dolls\u201d second term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first, and most important is what \u201cDonny 2 Dolls\u201d said about the coming recession goes right to the point of just how out of touch he and his gang are.  Having to \u201cMake do with only 2 dolls instead of 30 at Christmas..\u201d just shows he as no conception of life for the lower 50% of the population.  For them it is a question of any gifts at Christmas or not.  Or, if they are lucky what kind of gift, not a doll or a toy truck but socks and under ware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People like \u201cDonny 2 Dolls\u201d are what I call \u201cinfinitely wealthy\u201d.  By that I mean they never have to think about the cost of anything.  It is just a matter of do I want it or not.  I first really started to think of this back when I first read the history \u201cSense Yesterday\u201d and the author talked about example of how very wealthy people talked about how they dealt with their \u201cDepression\u201d problem. The one that really stuck in my head was A family that laid off 15 of their 30 household staff and let the others stay on for room and board. I expect to see most of the people who are surrounding \u201cDonny 2 Dolls\u201d to think about the same.  Not only do they not think about the lives of the \u201cPoor\u201d people, they are not capable of conceptualizing (imagining) what that kind of life is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I write this because I remember the last time we had a very wealthy man in the White House who was clueless about how everyday people live.  He was campaigning for reelection and went to a supermarket. It became very clear he had never gone shopping and never seen a checkout counter.  He had no idea what the scanner was or what it did.  This was the start of his loosing to an upstart governor from Arkansas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also like the name Donny 2 Dolls as it has the feel of a classic Mob name.  The current Group people in the White House give off the vibes of a classic Movie\/TV mob.  What I\u2019d like to know is if they are even aware of this?  Is it deliberate or just the way they are?  Only time will tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night on MSNBC\u2019s Lawrence O\u2019Donnell show I got to hear the best label for both Donald Trump and for MAGA.; \u201cDonnie 2 Dolls\u201d.
