there are tens of millions of Americans who broadly think of Donald Trump as “the guy who is good at money/business”, in large part because he starred in a popular reality TV show that presented him as a business expert, a job he accepted in part because his actual businesses were failing

Even when planned adventures don’t go as planned, I don’t think I’ve ever regretting setting a stupid early alarm (midnight in this case) for something fun.
