Failed promises

While the thought of a $350 million, privately funded (receipts please) 90,000 square-foot ballroom worthy of a “disco king” with an affinity for the Village People is impressive, I think Mr. Wild has his priorities confused.

If only he could find time to address his president’s failed promises to improve the human condition. Would that new word “grocery” list of failures be appropriate? How about food prices, health care, utilities, shelter? Not enough, want more injustices? Disregard for the U.S. Constitution, abuse of the rule of law, frivolous lawsuits, deportations without due process, blanket pardons of convicted criminals, absurd allegations of treason, profiting from the presidency, climate change denial, advocacy for voodoo medicine, extralegal murder on the high seas, questionable deployments of military troops to American cities and foreign countries, false claims of settled wars, permitting Netanyahu to wipe Gaza from the face of the map before negotiating a truce, preparations to abandon Ukraine, and the tragic, needless, deaths of 600,000 Africans, including 400,000 children, with the abolishment of USAID. It almost makes the Epstein files cover-up seem trivial.

While Mr. Wild chooses to not deny his inner architect or interior designer, humanity has other, higher priorities. Compassionate people find it more fulfilling relating to other people, not golden chandeliers.
