Who is ‘we’?


ExxonMobil and Chevron reported quarterly earnings yesterday. Exxon’s profit – PROFIT – more than doubled for the period year over year. Chevron’s profit was up 180%.

Trump brags about it. “Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars because of what’s happened in the Middle East… . We’re making hundreds and hundreds of billions, trillions of dollars.”

Who is the ‘we’ of whom he speaks? Are you feeling the trickle down? Are we great yet? Rich yet?
