“Laughter is America’s greatest export” makes me think that laughter, is the most perfect euphemism for freedom. To be able to laugh, especially at corrupt trillionaires and their orange-ambition tour, is the duck feather in the proverbial cap of freedom! Great article, as always Ben! 💙

Thank you! And naturally this requires me to mention the best-named album of all time:

Laughin' To Keep From Cryin'

"...selling 250 million copies a year at their beak".

Typo? I think not.

( almost typed " I think, not" - but that would've been an unfortunate comma ).

Illuminating article. Much appreciated.

I was gonna do “at their peak (beak?)” but then I considered the sophistication of my readership and decided not to put a hat on the hat. Thanks for validating my hunch!

In fairness to Dorfman, he didn't have the internet and translators may have had their way with Donaldo. The world is an awfully big place, esp if you're a duck.
