My body is made of trees.

I can say that. I can offer no evidence. I can do no work to prove it. I can ignore how half the country knows I’m full of shit, and still have half the country believe my bullshit.

And if the situation changes, I can always move the goalposts.

Either way, I gain nothing by trying harder, and face no consequences either way.

What motivation do I have to even try to be more secret in my corruption?
