2. His entire presidency is a sales pitch
He's just the spokesmodel for the band pirates who have hijacked our govt.

7. Right. It has all boiled down to a marketing exercise aimed at
the unwitting public.

3. He talks and talks and talks...
but he never says anything. In the real world, we call it mindless babbling.

8. Shovel Party!
It's about cajoling the opposition into non-resistance while he does whatever he wants. Once again, he's fishing for the "magic words" that will get (congress)people to shut up and go along, no matter what he claims, no matter what he actually does.

Watch his deeds. His words mean nothing. It's been his M.O. since before 2000.

9. Bullseye!
They are selling their pitch. Look at their polished faces. Their little smiley smirks. Their foot is in the door. They paid the newscasters to pitch their pitch for them. It's a scam. And it's working. Snake oil salesmen. They have unctuously pervaded the culture of this country.

It's the selling of ideas to America. For profit.

You have pegged it big time!

Slam the door on their foot. The time is now to stop being polite.

10. That's why he always appears before billboards
From the careful lighting and staging (who can forget that lit promenade in New Orleans?), to the hand-picked crowds of sycophants, no area is left untouched by the marketer's hand.

It is just too slick for words sometimes. The grease just grunts through the screen.
