An article in a magazine for the unashamed 1% by one of Donald Trump's avid supporters and long time pal claims that Trump isn't merely a billionaire property developer. He is more than the Republican nominee, Trump is a teacher and he has lesson to teach all of America.
For People Who Like to Dream of Being Rich
If the ads are anything to go by, the target audience for Jetset magazine is not the average Donald Trump voter.
The median household income of a Trump voter so far in the primaries is about $72,000, based on estimates derived from exit polls and Census Bureau data.
Not the kind of person who may be shopping around for a Tom George yacht ("Because you can.") an Island retreat in the Bahamas or a Magellan Jet.
The pitch for one yacht maker aims at the snob appeal. "We Don't Need Everyone to Read This."
Outside of the ads, the articles include:
The Beauty of Believing- Critical Factors in Business
OPM- (Other People's Money) The Power of Using Debt
According to its mission statement, Jetset Magazine is "the definitive authority on connoisseurship for ultra-affluent consumers." It's safe to assume that JetSet is a magazine for the most pampered of the 1%.
But perhaps I am wrong.
It could just be a magazine for people who feverishly dream of becoming the pampered rich.
Back in 2015, JetSet magazine had another article that caught my eye, It was entitled "Why America Needs Donald Trump." The article is full of glossy photos of Donald Trump. One shows the mogul seated at an empty walnut table abroad his private jet, looking decisive- or bored, or petulant. Who knows.
With the plentiful peppering of "we" and "I", the author of the article, Robert Kiyosaki, offers an insider's insight into the man named Trump.
Only a person who has known Trump on a personal level, it seems, can explain this very complicated man. The author wants to share a few things, personal things, about Mr. Trump.
Uncontrolled or Out of Control?
But first of all, there's one thing you have to know.
Trump, says Kiyosaki, is for real. Really real.
Meaning, perhaps, that Trump isn't a cartoon. He isn't some kind of ugly, silly prank on American voters. That news might have come as a relief a year ago.
Not so much anymore.
Today, the "reality" of Trump is much more worrying. At this point, it would be more comforting to think Trump was a cruel practical joker.
