Donald Trump, the existential calm years
By 
Let’s check in on Donald Trump, definitely a changed man:
Some politicians might have taken the moment to be charming and ingratiating with the donors.
Not Mr. Trump. Over steak and baked potatoes, the former president tore through a bitter list of grievances.
He made it clear that people, including donors, needed to do more, appreciate him more and help him more.
He disparaged Vice President Kamala Harris as “retarded.” He complained about the number of Jews still backing Ms. Harris, saying they needed their heads examined for not supporting him despite everything he had done for the state of Israel.
If he goes the rest of the campaign without using a slur against Harris in public, it will be an upset.
We can also see more examples of Trump’s legendary populist appeals to the economically anxious:
At one point, Mr. Trump seemed to suggest that these donors had plenty to be grateful to him for. He boasted about how great he had been for their taxes, something that some privately noted wasn’t true for everyone in the room.
“If Trump loses, I might have to settle for a yacht with only one IMAX theater” is a KIND of economic anxiety I guess.
