Friday mailbag

Your questions, answered.

Happy Friday! We made it!

No ruling — yet — from Judge Engoron on Donald Trump’s overvaluation of his assets (we expect that in the middle of the month now) but Joe Biden had a pretty good week anyway as I documented here.

Next week we will have the no-contest Nevada caucuses, which Donald Trump will win in a walk.

And we are still three weeks away from the South Carolina caucuses.

Fun fact: The November election is (just) 286 days away!

Ok, let’s get to your questions! (Soundtrack for today’s mailbag is the “Goldberg Variations” as played by Glenn Gould.)

Q: Please enlighten us about the political impact of Trump's insistence that he is more popular and has more committed fans than Taylor Swift. Coincidentally (?) his fanboys on social media and Trump media acolytes accuse Biden who they constantly label cognitively-challenged of running a psyop manipulating Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce to fake a romance to manipulate her 274 million Instagram followers and the NFL's football teams to rig their games and brainwash their 50 million+ TV followers to vote for Biden. Will any of this weirdness break through to NFL and Swift fans and influence their voting behaviors? Will it cause the scales to fall from the eyes of any Trump or Trump-leaning voters?
