Smart Plutocrats, Dumb Trumpocrats
Don't you hate it when the rich and powerful can't all just get along? The plutes have really been blowing it lately.

Having been carefully trained to fear and respect - if not love - the plutocrats, and to strive, as a top-secret Citigroup manifesto once put it, to become "pluto-participan... more »
