8. The double down...whenever Trump is told he can't do something, he doubles down

Here, as the reaction from Fox clearly shows, he was told he shouldn't wear the hat to these services (I'm not calling it the "dignified transfer," an obvious propaganda term), so he doubles down. He was also probably told he couldn't fundraise behind these services.

Trump is capitalism personified, a decoding machine, as Deleuze and Guattari would have it: his pure function is breaking every norm or custom. All that's solid melts into air.

Trumpology.
