Or maybe it’s just what it looks like: A good old boys network of incompetent inbreds whose only qualification is that their parents could buy them memberships in the right clubs.

He's firing scientists and grabbing every last cent he can competently enough. And is anyone still reporting on Epstein files? He just doesn't care that the whole country goes down in flames.
