Trump’s Financial Freestyle: Is Nobody Really on His Mind?

Now folks, when a man raised on BBQ smoke and AM radio like me catches wind of a big-shot leader claiming he doesn’t think about anybody, well, I just about drop the tongs in the coleslaw. This alleged revelation about Trump not pondering the pocketbook pains of hardworking Americans feels like finding tofu at a Texas grill-off: surprising, unsettling, and worth a second look. It’s like Trump’s said he’s allergic to empathy, which in these parts, sounds a lot like trying to grill without charcoal—if you catch my drift.

While folks across this great nation struggle with soaring prices and empty gas tanks, it seems our man Trump is focused on anything but the average Joe’s bacon budget. It’s like he stepped on a rake, but here’s the kicker: he brought it with him from home. I reckon there’s a mighty big difference between being a natural-born leader and just naturally born to be absent when folks need a helping hand. The irony is crispier than a backyard char on Labor Day.
