Trump and Tech: A Question and My Answer

December 18, 2016

I read “So What Attracted Tech Bosses to the Billionaire President-Elect Donald Trump?” The several hundred word write up tackles an obvious question. There is one answer:

Power.

Why use so many words to answer the question? My thoughts:

  1. Author is paid to produce a certain number of words. A one word real journalistic write up is not acceptable.
  2. Author wants to trot out some cute Trumpies; for example, trumpelthinskin
  3. Author wants to amplify the reasons to include greed and money.

Nope. Power. When I was a wee lad, I lived in Washington, DC. When I was a bit older I was detailed to “assist” the elected official who was the chair of the then Joint Committee on Atomic Energy. A bit later I fumbled around on a White House job. Some call it Potomac fever.

Take it from me: Power. One word. The answer. I did like the begging for dollars tack on too.
