Black-bearded Internet outlaw Dan Bilzerian — the so-called “King of Instagram” — routinely posts videos of himself unloading hundreds of rounds from the 50-caliber fully-automatic rifle he rides around with in the back of his truck. There are photos of him emerging from a private jet here accompanied by topless women, as well as pictures of him diving out of a helicopter into water.

When was the last time you heard a sitting politician give a speech that made you stop and think? A speech where you actually learned something?

To hear the GOP establishment squeal with such glee, you would think there was a fire sale going on down at Brooks Brothers. Or maybe Congress just passed a law making country club dues tax-deductible. Or somebody invented a glow-in-the-dark golf ball.

Speaking under the hateful gaze of Che Guevara in Havana’s Plaza of the Revolution — a shrine to ruthless communism — Pope Francis scolded us to “serve people, not ideas.”

Just be sure to spell his name right. It’s T-R-U-M-P, as in Trump Plaza or Trump Casino or Trump Resort. Say whatever you want about The Donald, no one can deny that he is a marketing mastermind who has turned the button-down political world on its ear.
