    It's mostly been taking hits and enduring bad PR.

    Taking paternity leave during supply chain discourse and events, staging that lame photo op where he pretended to bike to work. Going to bat for those baby food companies during that awful shortage, and now insisting that everything is fine and will only get better with the FAA despite all those cancelled flights and people hating the airlines.

    This guy is perfect for taking L's. He'll do anything to advance his career, and shame is for mere mortals.

      As long as you go to bat for the status quo [and are white and bourgeois], the status quo will go to bat for you. Pete knows that the corporate press will be with him the next time he runs for president, and he’s like crystal meth for white grannies. The only issue is that he’s probably going to have to wait six more years, at which point large numbers of his biggest fans will have thrown themselves to the wolves in order to keep the line up. Nearly everyone under the age of forty deeply loathes him. Although I suppose some of those people will be inheriting money from those white grannies, at which point they themselves will BECOME white grannies and start injecting that sweet Pete nectar straight into their femoral arteries.
