Emphasis mine.
It is a couple of years old but just as relevant today.
It may be satire, but he did have a peanut farm, and he did have to give it up... now the President gets to host the G7 in his own property for the enrichment of himself and his family, alongside all the other grift.... how times have changed.
You People Made Me Give Up My Peanut Farm Before I Got To Be President
Boy, times sure have changed, havent they? I couldnt help but notice that the current occupant of the White House owns more than 500 companies, has business interests across the Middle East and Asia, and owes hundreds of millions of dollars to banks he is now responsible for regulating. It seems a touch unfair that a bigger fuss was made about my little peanut operation than all his office towers, hotels, and golf courses combined. All I had was a farm, you know? A small, precious farm.
Seriously, it was just a few fields and a warehouse, and you idiots still appointed a special prosecutor and spent six months investigating it.

Maybe Im just a sucker. Apparently, all I needed to do was hand off control of the farm to my family. If Id staged an elaborate song and dance about distancing myselfwhatever that meansfrom all the day-to-day planting, picking, and salting, maybe I could have kept my peanut farm with the full blessing of you, the American people.

They can be shown no quarter...
Exactly - they must be brought to heel with no fear or favour
They must be completely defeated. No making nice. No reaching across the aisle. No mercy.

These people are ghouls. They must be completely defeated. No making nice. No reaching across the aisle. No mercy.

Raises an interesting argument, when we label him are we giving him more credence for any clarity of thought that he may/may not have...
Is labelling him an autocrat too complimentary?
