Here's another way the Overton window his shifted. I keep seeing comments like, "They spent $45m on this parade!?" and at no point does anyone suggest that it was a grift
I mean, it'd sure be easy to divert $30m in funds for something that looked like it cost $10m to produce
Except we all know that $30m isn't even couch cushion money anymore. He had to sit in that pavilion being miserable for three hours when he can pick up $275m for a 'dinner' he attended for less than thirty minutes
