The answer is a resounding “Yes” but consider this as food for thought.
While Zero’s lost weekend playing pickup basketball got all sorts of attention, much of it not good, how do you think it played with his base? So is he politically tone deaf, or crazy like a fox?
I’ve concluded that he’s concluded that as long as his peeps are down with him, he’s politically untouchable. So never mind what us crackers think, it’s all about keeping it real with the homies. Could probably say the same thing about Mooch-elle’s wonderful Spanish adventure.
Put another way - “He may be a crook, but he’s OUR crook”.
