Also you can't really call a man with multiple bankruptcies in his wake, including a casino, somebody with "business sense".

You've made it clear that you recognize 45 as the loathsome thing that he is, so Darth, why do you keep jumping to his defense? Is it some kind of right wing bro-code or do you just like playing Devil's Advocate that much?

It's because I like to rise to the defense of logic, Fuzzy. You might be able to understand that kind of thing someday, but I doubt you're that interested.

Thank you Darth, your line about claiming to "rise to the defense of logic" and acting all high and mighty towards Fuzzy gave me good laugh. I really needed that.
