Whether it's Obama telling farmers to plant arugula in Iowa or Donald Trump telling Iranians to take out Los Angeles, both presidents made deeply insensitive statements about regions of the country.

My next book has a whole section on the psychology behind "People becoming successful by simply lying about already being successful then charging other people to learn their 'secrets' about how to become successful". This would make a perfect case study, but I doubt the legal team will go with it.

Lawvers for Andrew Tate have had to admit in
court that he is not a citizen of Estonia as he
previously claimed.
Much of his wealth and status is fabricated, they
said in attempt to convince the court he and his
brother are not a flight risk if released on bail
That included his claims to seven passports.
"The Tates are engaged in several businesses
teaching men how to earn money. It is in their
interest to portray themselves on social media
as uberwealthy." 1/3

It's important to recognise that Orpo lives simultaneously in multiple universes, where there are no contradictions. What he said or did in one universe is not connected to the other reality he is in. For him, as long as he is the prime minister, this multiverse is functioning.

In 2026, it seems to me, to be all about winning. Not win-win, but win-lose. *) Joseph Joubert (1754 – 1824) was a French moralist and essayist, remembered today largely for his Pensées (Thoughts), which were published posthumously.
