(ref: noem's grift of taxpayer $ for ICE propaganda without giving trump his cut)

That's the thing. Only "JCs" are allowed to cheat everyone in sight. Implicit in the supporting screed for "supply side economics", is that "JCs" are required to Hoover up all the money from the Proles, by any means necessary. The telepropter guy is not a "JC". He's a Prole, so he's in the kimchee. Meanwhile, Trump, being a "JC", is entitled to exactly the same thing. Witkoff and Kushner are also "JCs", so they were entitled to use their knowledge of the "negotiations" with Iran to line their own pockets.

Noem was a member of the "outer party", not the "inner party", so had to play by different rules. It will be interesting to see if Vance gets in the kimchee for lavish spending of taxpayer's money on himself, as detailed in a post earlier this morning. That will tell us if he is in the "outer party", with Noem and Bondi, or part of the "inner party".

from the net sifter:

In George Orwell's 1984, the Inner Party is the ruling elite (about 2% of the population) that dictates policy, controls the flow of information, and has the authority to alter reality. The Outer Party (about 18% of the population) serves as the middle-class bureaucratic workforce, carrying out the Inner Party’s directives with no decision-making power
