The Deeper Message That Is Resonating With

The Fact That Trump's Refused To Divest From His Labyrinth Of Business Holdings, The Fact That He's Continuing To Profit From His Brand And Indeed Create All Kinds Of New Opportunities To Profit Off The Presidency Is Outrageous. The Flip Side Is That He's Left Out A Lot Of Levers Through Which To Pressure Him. You Know, The Reason You Want A President To Divest From His Business Holdings Is That Foreign Governments Can Try To Exert Pressure On Him By Becoming Customers Of These Hotels And Inflating The Value Of How Much They're Willing To Pay For A Trump Brand.

Because It Is Such A Huge Crisis, Because It Puts Us On A Firm Science-based Deadline, It's A Once-in-a-century Opportunity To Build A Better Society And Address Raging Inequality, Create Huge Numbers Of Jobs, Rebuild Our Public Infrastructure. But, We Can't Do It Unless We Break Every Single Rule In The Free-market Playbook. Which Is Why The Worst People In The World All Deny Climate Change.

Anybody Who Claims That They Know Where This Whole Thing Is All Going Is Just Lying.

It's Certainly Something We Haven't Seen Before In Terms Of A Fully Commercial Global Brand - Really A Family Of Brands - Not Just Trump But Also Ivanka, Who Has A Sub-brand. We've Never Seen This Before. We've Had Presidents In Financial Conflicts Of Interest Before, But This Phenomenon Where A Sitting President Image Avatar Is Out There Selling Golf Courses And Condominiums, Even As He Is In Office And Having The Value Of His Personal Brand Inflated Dramatically By Fact Of His Being President, Is New Territory.

A Term Like Capitalism Is Incredibly Slippery, Because There's Such A Range Of Different Kinds Of Market Economies.
