How can you question a person about their debts when they have such overwhelming assets? It's ridiculous. That exchange made me feel like I was sitting in President Trumps chair. And what if I was? Would she question my holding a mortgage when there are tax savings to doing so, and having savings and investments and open but untapped lines of credit to prepare me for whatever financial situation I find myself in? Really?
She was trying to injure him politically, but she ended up making him look more like me, like someone who understands debt and the wise use of it. She humanized him, inadvertently, and made him look more like me.
