I wish I had Tom Steyer’s money. And not so I could
finally buy that chalet in Vevey I’ve long dreamed of. Well yes, there’s that,
but right now I see a more pressing need.
If I had Steyer’s millions I would put some of it
on the table as a gift to any Republican senator who would be willing to
advertise his loyalty to Donald Trump. Specifically, I would offer to pay for a
billboard in any GOP senator’s home town that featured a picture of him or her alongside
Trump and captioned thus: “I stand with Donald Trump, a man of fine character
who is making America great!”
Each billboard (should anyone take up the offer)
would cost several thousand dollars, but this is chump change to Tom Steyer. In
any case, it’s quite possible, even probable, that not a single Republican senator would accept such an
offer because they are beginning to understand that Trump is going down in
history as a national disaster and a personal disgrace. They won’t admit this in
public, but most of them seem to know it.
And that’s the point. If Steyer himself were to publicize such an offer, how would these Republican senators, as they refused his gift, explain
themselves to Trump and Trump’s base? It would be lots of fun watching them
try.
The GOP - where the watchwords are Courage! Patriotism! Character!
So, what do you say, Mr. Steyer? Here is a worthy use
to which your fortune could be put. Also, if that idea works out, I have
another proposal relating to Switzerland that I’d like to discuss with you.
