Trump’s Second Term: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) - YouTube

BONUS

Guardian publishing more on JD VANCE. THIS OPENING SCREEN-CAPTURE: 

Yes, Ohio State, summa cum laude, Yale Law School, then Venture Capital money making before going political careerist.

[Credit him - Harry Truman is said to have said, "Show me a career politician who is wealthy and I'll show you a crook." Vance went money first, than political career, not going straight into it to earn a fortune on the public's time. He holds a fortune already.]

Below in an earlier post I noted watching part of the Navarro convention speech, commenting then upon the cuts to the crowd during it. One whole hell of a lot of white people there, every shot. As a MAGA thing, it seems Trump during campaign appearances with the prop people put standing behind him finds minority people, but were there many convening?

_________UPDATE__________

Do watch that John Oliver video. It was posted first/foremost for a reason. It even examines, in its way, Project 2025. Trenchantly so.

_______FURTHER UPDATE_______

I erred in earlier posting referring off-hand to Vance as a hedge fund capitalist. He did venture capital money making, mentored by Peter Thiel, of the "Pay Pall mafia," those who scored initial capital from launching Pay Pal, and went on to build greater fortunes from there. Vance went Silicon Vally capitalist. NOT Wall Street capitalist.

In an earlier post today, Ms. Clinton, the Clintons, are mentioned, especially Ms. Clinton's Goldman Sachs speeches where she was personally paid high six figure cash for three speeches, between here SoS for Obama, and her 2016 run.

Silicon Valley capital and where/how it aims differs from Wall Street capital and where/how it aims. The Clintons in their earlier two terms in the White House nudged the Democratic Party closer to Wall Street, than say where it was under Lyndon Johnson - Hubert Humphrey. Some may be thankful to the Clintons for that.

It happened.
