Do you want to live a better life? Do you really want to have a normal, optimistic outlook on life every day? Don't watch CNN. Don't read the New York Times.

There isn't one thing the federal government does that anybody in Big Business would emulate, at least not in the profit sector.

If you look at the New York Times, it says X; if you look at the Washington Post, it says the same thing. And if you turn on any television newscast it's the same thing you already heard, that's research. And that's one of the ways it's done. Authority ends up being imputed simply because of volume. I mean, all of these different news organizations reporting the exact same thing.

Trump has his own audience, which is in many cases as big as or bigger than the media covering him. He doesn't need the media. He enjoys them being around. He likes toying with them. He likes being provocative around them. To him, the media is a plaything. To the Republican and Democrat establishments, the media holds coequal position in the entire power structure of the ruling class.

The economy working - the economy growing, corporations growing and hiring people and wage increases occurring - is the worst thing that can happen politically for the Democrat Party.

Jeff Bezos is on his way to becoming the wealthiest American, and by giving away his product at much reduced prices to food stamp recipients, he's building a moat around his life to where the pitchforks and the barbarians will avoid him 'cause they'll think he's on their side.
