Trump is a figurehead and mouth piece only, it’s clear the backing and power behind him is pushing him, not the other way around. If Trump is dead or unelectable then they will sub in someone else. Trump’s “saving grace” is that he was good at speaking in a relatable but obfuscating way which worked to foment the masses against imagined grievances, but that’s not a trait unique to him. He is unfortunately replaceable with not much loss in momentum.
They never said it wasn’t, just that we should start with the 1% and only once they are back down to a realistic wealth level do we start taxing people who are working class. At a decent pay rate (100k/yr) a million is achievable over a career, a billion is not and can only be had through consolidation of wealth.
