The wedding that explains the election

One actual truth is that Hillary Clinton did not likely attend Trump’s wedding because he had donated to the Clinton Foundation.

Hillary was almost certainly there because she is mesmerized by wealth. She and Bill look as happy as happy can be in the photos taken with Trump and his third bride, Melania Knauss, at the reception. Hillary looks less like someone on the make than someone who wants to have made it.

A hunger for cash that seems to have made her blind to future political consequences compelled Hillary to take several six-figure speaking fees from Goldman Sachs. She pocketed $225,000 for what has been described as a “rah-rah” speech in 2013, even as the bank was seeking a multi-billion dollar settlement with the government for allegedly fraudulent practices that helped nearly wreck the global economy.

After she and her husband had made more than $150 million from peddling their presence in one place for or another, Hillary described herself as “unlike a lot of people who are truly well off.”
