QOTD: "Stupid Grifters Like Howard Lutnick"



 

Nobel Prize laureate Paul Krugman vents on one of the Malignant Fascist's insipid and morally bankrupt flunkies, Commerce Secretary Howard "Nutlick" Lutnick. Read all of Krugman's takedown, "The Banality of MAGA Evil," where later he discusses Nutlick's former firm Cantor Fitzgerald's relationship with a cryptocurrency that's popular with international criminals:

"There are people in positions of great power in the U.S. government engaged in evil conspiracies against everything that is good and decent. Their conspiracies are far more extensive and damaging than almost anyone imagined. But there are no evil masterminds behind this. Only amoral, stupid grifters like Howard Lutnick.

During Trump 47’s first year, Lutnick, the Commerce secretary, was an omnipresent spokesman for Donald Trump’s policies, a constant presence on TV, especially the Sunday talk shows.

He was not impressive in that role. Unlike Scott Bessent, he lacked any hint of gravitas. He doesn’t have Pete Hegseth’s hair. Moreover, Lutnick’s Trump boosterism has been consistently and embarrassingly incompetent.

The only waves he has made are a result of his exceptional combination of stupidity and offensive tone-deafness."  (our emphasis)

Yesterday, Nutlick appeared before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee and finally admitted visiting the notorious island of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, and of having a social and business relationship with him long after he had previously acknowledged.
