      1. It's considered in bad taste to say that Trump's whole winning campaign was a shell game but it sure feels like...a shell game.

      2. A shell game; Trump ran as a populist but his cabinet basically consist of Scrooge McDuck, Richie Rich, and Daddy Warbucks.

          3. Trump hopes to square the circle by saying it's package deal: He's offering big business goodies but they have to provide jobs.

          If he can keep it up, he'll win re-election. Traditional GOP base gets what it wants, and he keeps WWC with rallies.

          I think "Richie Rich" was in general a good guy character...you'll need a third bad rich guy. Maybe Mr. Potter the banker?

          Trump's populism will consist of attacking businesses that choose to move jobs overseas, restricting immigration, + tariffs.

          Wait until he names Henry F Potter to head up the Consumer Financial Protection Board until it's shut down.

          Scrooge McDuck is an immigrant, and Daddy Warbucks was definitely in favor of fighting the Nazis in WWII. @HeerJeethttps://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/807267082748342272 …
