Politicians try so hard to be relatable. Come election season you’ll see them gritting their teeth as they endure hooting morons at state fairs while choking down whatever disgusting deep-fried snack is shoved in their direction. Even Donald Trump isn’t immune to this, doing his best to prove he’s just a regular guy by having a photo shoot of him ‘working’ at McDonald’s in 2024.
These are all lies, and the real measure of how removed politicians are from the lives you and I lead has just been revealed. Jaws were on the floor earlier this month when Trump announced he’d was accepting a $400 million “flying palace” jet from Qatar. Even his closest allies were disgusted, rightly pointing out that it leaves him wide open to foreign influence.
