On the strange economics of becoming Trump\u2019s Joker goon and why the real joke is on everyone who decided serving a petty authoritarian was a smart career move.<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Never work for Donald Trump. Don\u2019t go there. You\u2019re safer flipping hamburgers or wrangling small, shin\u2011kicking children than taking a paycheque from him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least the kids and the grease fire aren\u2019t actively plotting to ruin your life in public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working for Trump has always been like signing up to be one of the Joker\u2019s goons: you can see the man is a psychopath, but you talk yourself into believing that if you laugh on cue and hit your marks, he won\u2019t turn the flamethrower on you. The whole arrangement runs on humiliation and fear, not respect. You don\u2019t get hired because you\u2019re competent; you get hired because no one else would touch you, and the boss knows you\u2019ll do anything to stay near the chaos and the cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s how authoritarian loyalty economies work. The leader rewards the most shameless sycophants, showers them with attention and access, and then keeps them in line with constant loyalty tests and public degradations. The second a henchman hesitates or disagrees, on a war, a grift, a line of propaganda, the strongman does what he always does: he flips, he smears, and he tries to erase the existence of the person he was praising last week. There is no \u201cfalling out\u201d in this world, just the moment when the psychopath finally points the gun at you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s latest tantrum over his own media pets fits this script perfectly. He\u2019s now calling his once\u2011adoring surrogates \u201ccrazy,\u201d \u201cstupid,\u201d \u201clow IQ,\u201d and \u201closers,\u201d as if their only crime was suddenly becoming defective. But the truth is uglier and simpler: nothing about him has changed. He is the same low\u2011quality man he has always been, petty, vindictive, and transactional, and if you chose to build your career as his Joker goon, you weren\u2019t elevating a great man. You were propping up a loser, and he\u2019s finally spelling that out for you in his own vocabulary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
