Good riddance!

Trump has a natural talent for entertaining a certain kind of fools, both among investors and the general public. After loosing the 2020 elections, he'll go back to being a celebrity for an audience of fools significantly larger than he had during even his best Apprentice years. From a purely business perspective, his presidency can be considered successful because he gained a lot of notoriety. On the other hand, his ineptitude will have cost the country at least $2T just in monetary terms, not counting huge losses in soft power.

I don't know that. For one, there's considerable interest in his taxes now, there's a lot of thievery about to come to light...

He'll probably pay some fines, maybe even large ones. But the morons who like him as a celebrity will ultimately foot the bill, by subscribing to his shit shows, watching and clicking ads.

It is not stupidity, it is preference. Alien and hostile preference, but preference nevertheless.

A lot of them are phools in Shiller's sense — they prefer to be be fooled by Trump's media personality.
