This isn't The Art of the Deal.
It's insider trading with a bad comb-over.

Step 1: Tank the Market, Scare the Non-Millionaires
Step 2: Let the Aristocrats Feast
Step 3: Flip, but say β€˜Winning’
Step 4: Pretend None of This Ever Happened & Get Your Media Dregs To Do The Same

Rinse, Enrich, Repeat.

Ugh this should be so easy, it’s not even like there’s a β€œgood for the economy but morally evil” party and a β€œbad for the economy but morally good” party, there’s one party that’s like β€œminorities belong in cages AND we want you to be poorer” and they win elections somehow

How Texas Tech built a portal class so good Notre Dame tried to poach the GM A robust NIL program and a savvy general manager have made the Red Raiders into a big offseason winner. But will that translate to wins on the field?

Incredible half from K-State in Ames. Huge foul trouble for the only ball handler they have against an elite defense and still up at the break.
