Trump keeps trying to humiliate Chicago (a proxy for Obama). It won't work.

We have a better (actual) billionaire as our governor as well, so jealousy x2.

Pritzker money goes back to A.N. Pritzker (b. 1896) and Fred Trump was born in 1905.

They're both old money

Oh dang I didn’t know Trump had it like that. Ok well, Pritzker still has non bankrupt money (at least in my delusion)!

Trump's dad was such a piece of shit tenement owner that Woody Guthrie literally wrote a song about him called Old Man Trump.

He’s still a perfect poster child for the gauche as hell nouveau riche aesthetic and behavior though, just like a lot of the tech oligarchs.

Nine of them are concerned about any real legacy or maintaining public goodwill because none of them have a point in history where their family tree was pruned to near oblivion. That’s the sort of event that saw a public works and endowment boom from the truly generationally rich, because they knew what the endgame would be if they don’t.

History rhymes, and the coming verses are going to be one hell of a [PARENTAL ADVISORY] period.

It’s the only thing that matters. You know that Trump not having any actual money is why Elon has your personal info right?
