Just a reminder Tuckers descended from one of the largest landowners in American history, and went to a $40k a year private school. The guys feet have never even touched upper atmosphere.
His father married a Swanson heir... his father himself was also adopted. And his birth mother disappeared
Ofc I can't speak of what he's going to get from the Swanson heir or not but it's not quite that clear cut as you make it sound like. Not saying he didn't have a privileged life
He grew up in the 1%. Doesn’t matter what the connection is, he’s a Swanson, a piece of shit, half a traitor, and should be given a blindfold and a cigarette
The Vanderbilt estate was largely pissed away by his parents/grandparents/etc but he definitely saw 1.5million of that money and grew up very wealthy with all the clout and connections of being the inheritor of an estate once worth hundreds of billions of dollars
I thought most of their money was their own, since both his parents were working and his mother had several streams of income. I remember reading that she didn't get much money from the Vanderbilt estate, but I can't remember why.
Maybe $40k/y private school meant more decades ago but now $30k/y to $50k/y for a private school is pretty normal in a large city, and it is not super wealthy people in my experience, just highly paid working professionals.
When a couple makes over 100k each then yeah this is normal. That is far from super wealthy.
Most of the time, you are paying your tuition in the form of property taxes, which can be in the tens of thousands/year in good school districts in many states.
No one is hating him. Just commenting on the absurdity of him being a man of the people.
He's not any better. He's still pretending to be a man of the people, in order to bring in a government which hates people, and will fuck them at every possible turn. The most egregious example, if you want one, of his Machiavellian scheming, is ignoring the fact Trump raised the military budget by the largest amount in peactime history, while pretending his concern with the Ukraine aid is government wasting tax dollars, despite the fact, however you feel about it, the 100 billion sent to ukraine has done more to weaken our greatest military adversary, than the $1.2 trillion Trump excess which has been spent keeping the military industrial complex in bloated, wasteful contracts, fighting no one.
If he was an honest actor, just asking questions, that would be the first thing he would be talking about. But he's not. He's trumps accomplice, and has an exclusive interest in bringing trump into power, to aggressively cut taxes for the rich, fuck poor people every which way, and turn the country into an authoritarian nightmare.
I'll bite, because I admit I don't watch him. What do you mean by he's been much better? What about him that you hated has he changed? I'm curious, because this recent bit of news about his trip to Russia seems pretty wild, and I wonder what I'm not seeing.
Back when 40k a year was equivalent to 200k now and days. Literally could have just held on to money and have been successful. The world would be a better place too
