Maybe he isn't as rich as he wanted people to think he was. If, as this article proposes, the US is a plutocracy. Then, Trump has to maintain his Master of the Universe illusion.

applaud? No Sir I do not. He wasn't the first blatant liar President, nor the last. He did however, mostly by accident, I think, reveal what's actually behind the curtain
Not irrelevant. But also not immediately important?
A person running for national office is inherently unknown. Who could really expect the entire US popularion to sit down and carefully examine any Presidential candidate? Honestly?
Not only won't it happen, it can't. The electoral system no longer enables representative voting and it verty certainly doesn't enable presidential voting. Our obligation is to fix a system designed for 13 states and somewhere around 100,000 people, to a country of almost 4M and 50 states. Is it any surprise a 200+ year old system is leaking a bit?
Our system of election was designed well before the telegraph was invented. It was set up to allow delegates to travel by horseback from state to state until they arrived at Washington DC and cast their vote, expressing the will of the people. That's what it did, and it did it well for over 100 years.
I wouldn't personally have difficulty with the peaceful breakup (Balkanization) of the United States. It may well be our best course of action.
Times have changed. Now we have electronic communications, and as much as I hate to mention it, the ability to create a true democracy. I'm not an advocate of direct democracy; I feel it's prone to the failures of mob rule and I'll cite France as an example; mob rule doesn't work well, though it does work in a sort of stumbling "we'll get there eventually" way?
But democracy does eventually work, and we could make it work in the future, but we need to take steps now or we risk losing this great experiment. As a conservative it's very difficult for me to put this question on the table, but it will end up there regardless.
We all need to figure this out and we need to do it very soon. Where is Thomas Jefferson when we need him?
I didn't change the subject. I embellished what BlueRocket said. "what's actually behind the curtain". So mind your own business. No one want's to hear your dribble.

Why do you applaud this? Let's say you're right. Then a blatant liar was elected as US President. This is like like chat-russian-roulette.

I'm still unsure how deliberate that was but you are correct.
Which is what?
America is a plutocracy and what putzes on subbstack think is irrelevant to what actually happens.
Agreed. What we all think is irrelevant.

We knew more about what he was doing just by reading his tweets 3AM. Biden is underhanded as Obama.
The NYT, WA PO, lied more than Trump. You'll find out he sold you down the river after he leaves, like Obama.
Why do you keep trying to change the subject ?
I didn't change the subject. I embellished what BlueRocket said. "what's actually behind the curtain". So mind your own business. No one want's to hear your dribble.
We have to listen to yours.
Sleep is very important. No one should read tweets at 3:00am.
I'd have to refine that to "no one should write tweets at 3:00am", but for the honest truth I've never written a tweet in my entire life?
