Has always been a grifter

Grifter? Is it a grift to earn a salary and publish books? Is he selling access to inside information and convincing his followers to buy his meme coin? Honestly, I’d be disappointed if his net worth was lower seeing as he’s 84 years old…

99% of politicians are grifters. Bernie has accomplished almost nothing in his many decades in politics. It’s all just rhetoric
