It is both funny and instructive how eager so many powerful individuals and institutions with massively grandiose understandings of their own significance have been to discard every value they've ever professed or pretended to in order to protect the dumbest, shittiest rich guy of his generation.

I still can’t believe the Trump thing happened. I’ll probably never actually believe all this is real. It’s been almost a decade My brain has been broken since the day he came down the escalator and into our lives with that stupid grin on his face

probably because deep down they are self-aware of their power and wealth are unearned, and sometimes entirely fictional his success in holding the most powerful position in the world reinforces their self delusion and/or quiets their fears of being found out

Making a call to the bullpen to bring the worst relief pitcher of all time out of retirement just to teach the fans a lesson that they should never have questioned my decision to call for a bunt that one time.

For my money, it's his ongoing resemblance to someone a fair fraction of his supporters would correctly label as the Prince of Lies that is most funny and most instructive.

I don't disagree that it's instructive, but it's not shocking. The system has literally always protected the shittiest rich people among us, it's just that Trump happens to be louder about how shitty he is than most. Much louder. It's what the system was designed specifically to do.
