You know, almost off topic, but the thing about people who have a billion dollars is they tend to need more than a billion dollars to make themselves happy. Poor people, on the other hand, have a miraculous gift for finding some general contentment out of merely being fed, housed and clothed adequately. Sure they want more as much as the next guy, but they won't toss a million people out of work to get an extra order of fries, or make products that kill people to have a nicer car. They get by.

It is about having more. That is their measure of success. It is the amount not what you can do with it. It is a status symbol to them, and nothing more.

Because that is the worst thing imaginable, and have lost all hope that the worst imaginable won't happen.

The Real Story Behind That 'Blacks for Trump' Guy At The Arizona Rally
Maurice Symonette pushes wild conspiracy theories and once followed a killer cult leader.

Waving a “Blacks for Trump” sign behind President Donald Trump on Tuesday night, he was impossible to miss.

Maurice Symonette, who has also called himself “Michael the Black Man” and Maurice Woodside, was an eye-catching figure during the rally in Phoenix. Trump supporters lauded him on social media for his T-shirt reading “Trump & Republicans Are Not Racist.”

Perhaps they should have checked him out first.

Between his signs and his shirt that night, Symonette was also showcasing two websites: blacksfortrump2020.com and gods2.com. Click on either and you’ll be taken to honestfact.com, which spews a range of rambling conspiracy theories.

One claims to link Hillary Clinton with the Islamic State and the criminal gang MS-13. Another declares that “Cherokees are the real KKK Racist Slave Masters, not White Gentiles who are Black Peoples Republican Emancipators!”

Symonette has uploaded a number of long-winded videos on YouTube, often as “Michael the Black Man.” There he discusses his theories on race wars involving Democrats, gentiles, Canaanites and the Cherokee.

Speaking to a Chicago radio station on Wednesday, Symonette said that he arrived early at the Phoenix rally and that allowed him to secure a prominent place close behind the president.

“I wasn’t placed [behind Trump], I put myself there,” he told WLS-AM 890. “I’m glad I was there so I could get the message out, tell people what’s going on with Democrats and the Cherokee Indians that are absolutely destroying the black man and the white man of America.”
