      People playing along with the bit accepted "Norton dollars" who would've sneered at a poor person "begging for handouts"

      Norton is in that sense an anti-Trump - starting w no money and no power he charmed ppl into buying into his act

      Whereas Trump actually is President, ppl aren't buying it regardless bc they hate him, so now he's trying to force it

      Norton's "madness" was played up by ppl who caught wind of the legend, of course, and there's a lot of fake "proclamations" by copycats

      The stories say ppl honestly did believe he was an "eccentric millionaire" and when he died were shocked to learn he was always flat broke

      The hardnosed framing would be San Francisco had been supporting a street person in return for his entertaining antics

      But Norton's act worked bc he committed to it so thoroughly that it never felt like that

      If he'd ever tried to make "real" money off of it by selling autographs or whatever it would've collapsed instantly

      The ambiguity - "Is he just fucking with us or does he really believe it" - was necessary to the magic of it

      It seems pretty clear to me that the performance art folks who see Norton as a patron saint get that

      The flip side is that if Norton was "sane" he could've found a way to live that was more comfortable and normal, but maybe he chose not to

          (Keeping in mind that the last act of pre-Imperial Josh Norton is losing all his life savings in one bad business deal)

          Norton would go around paying debts with his make-believe money, right?
